Casas particulares holiday rentals in Playa Varadero

Great location and wonderful hosts. Would definitely stay here again.

Lolita and Carlos are great hosts and very friendly, I thought they were very welcoming and really helped make my holiday special. Their house is not far from the local beach and not far from the beach resort of Vardero. Havana is about 2 hours away by car. The flat where my friends stayed (upstairs) is lovely, well laid out and modern, it is light and airy with all mod cons including kitchen, dining area and bathroom, it has 2 large double beds and is open plan - perfect for a family or two friends. There is also an upstairs veranda on the roof. WIFI access is available from there sometimes (WIFI access has to be bought for a small fee). The flat I stayed in downstairs is less modern but perfectly adequate for a stay in Cuba, it has one double bed. The flat is situated within a 5-7 minute walk to a lovely beach with white sands, with palm trees and generally very calm sea, as it is protected by a small rocky reef. The water was crystal clear and warm (visited early May) and there are plenty of fish to see by the reef. There are no facilities on the beach but there is an ice cream bar about 4 minutes walk away (not always open) and a cafe nearby the school facing the beach but we did not visit. Over the bridge about a 3 minute walk away from the house, you come to a little town, where you can go to the market and buy fruit, vegetables and also rice, (sometimes), there are also a few shops with a few basics. Lolita will do as much as she can to get something specific you might need. I would recommend that you dine at the house for the small extra fee, Lolita knows where to source foods, that are simply not available in Cuba (many shops are empty or have only canned goods) and makes lovely meals. For breakfast for example, we had fresh juices, fried eggs, or sandwiches with ham and cheese, a fruit salad, coffee with milk. There are no lemons in Cuba, only limes. In the evening, we had meals such as prawns in a sauce with rice, side salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers and a desert. Hawkers peddle their wares along the road in the morning and evening and you can stop them and ask to buy, if you are interested. Lolita will do washing for you, again for an additional fee. If you are British, bring pounds, it is the best rate available. Euros are next and then US$ which have the worst rate and are charged an additional 10% fee. ATM did not work for my UK visa debit card, but I was able to go to an exchange kiosk at the airport and withdraw money via them using this card. The currency used in Cuba is the "Convertable Peso" or CUC, don't get this confused with the other type of money that only locals use and is worth 24 times less than the CUC. Traveling in Cuba can be expensive but try to negotiate the price, you will be travelling in a Cadillac from the 1950's or 60's with no seat belts or air conditioning but very colourful and novel! I even saw an old Austin! We were lucky enough to see the crab migration in the Bay of Pigs. Havana is great fun to visit, Varadero was about a 15 minute drive from our house where they have big hotels, some souvenir shops, chemist and restaurants. Go to Cuba and enjoy the lovely sun, beautiful sea, great nature and friendly people!

Thank you, Yamile, for being aware of my arrival and making me feel so welcome. Your attention made a difference from the first moment. Very grateful!

The room was comfortable but the host didn't speak any English even though it says so in Airbnb. Additionally, the WiFi didn't work due to public maintenance (not the host's fault).

Our stay was excellent. Daniel was responsive and helpful throughout. A great host. The place is ideal to be on the amazing beach over the road in under 1 minute! Also great for exploring Varadero town.

The house is just like the pictures. Very comfortable. What we enjoyed the most was the doorway with the armchairs. I loved that each room had its independence, each with its own bathroom. Nothing is missing in the kitchen, very well equipped. The beach walking three steps. There was a lot of peace of mind in the neighborhood. We will definitely repeat

The space is excellent, very clean and organized. Location is great, we can do a lot of things on foot. There is no washing machine, only laundry service.

This is a very nice clean comfortable place to stay. Very close to the main centre of Boca near lots of restaurants and the waterfront. Mario and his wife were extremely helpful to me and my husband. We had the flu and he gave us some medication. Also gave me a ride to the airport. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere quiet and relaxed. Thank you 🙏

100% recommended

Perfect place for our family. We ended up renting the extra room in the back of the house as well. We were all very comfortable. We will definitely try to come back next year! Walking distance to everything was great!

El Lugar is very close to the photo park of Varadero, hiking agencies, cafes, restaurants and above all the beautiful beach of Varadero, the Lugar is very cozy, clean and with all the facilities its hosts are very friendly.

Our stay in Varadero, while visiting family, was wonderful. The two weeks went by so quickly. Olga, along with Ana and Pablo were excellent hosts. They are so accommodating, looking after our every need. So friendly and helpful. We have stayed with them many times before, and will return again next year. This lovely home is perfectly located, a five minute walk to the most beautiful beaches and close to the downtown area, with many restaurants. It was the perfect location for our stay. We always look forward to seeing our hosts and can’t thank them enough for a wonderful experience.

my daughter absolutely loves this place.

In the „Center“ of Varadero. The Beach is 5 min walking. A lot of space in the apartment, good beds, relatively quiet for Kuba 😊 .

I had a perfect stay at this apartment in Varadero. The accommodation was extremely clean and well organized, with all the necessary amenities for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen was one of the aspects I liked the most: spacious, well-equipped and with a wood/charcoal oven that was particularly useful for preparing delicious dishes. Every detail was well taken care of, and I really felt at home. An extraordinary experience that I recommend to anyone without hesitation!

Beautiful house very close to varadero beaches Surrounded by restaurants with good food Recommended The restaurant "EL carbon" that is less than 3 minutes by car Very safe place The house is just as shown in the photos And the hostess is very caring and friendly

Exelente place, very quiet and safe, very private too, I recommend it

This casa was perfect. The rooms are spacious and clean. The outdoor patio area was massive and beautiful. Restaurants and shops were nearby. The beach was just steps away! Housekeeper and Guille were amazing to interact with. He was always available if we had any questions. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Varadero!

Great place, my family was super happy, it’s very close to the boulevard and restaurants, few blocks from the beach and amazing amenities, I definitely recommend it I would give it more stars if I could!

Isabel's house was as described. Close to the beach, with restaurants nearby, in a quiet and pleasant neighborhood. But the best part was Sra. Tamara, Isabel's mother. She was very hospitable and helpful; she had an answer to every question and was always there to help us. You must definitely ask her if she can make breakfast for you! We'd be happy to give her more than 5 stars.

3 Time there and definitely will be coming back

Great location, the beach is 5 minutes walk from the house. Beautifully furnished place with everything you need. Wonderful host, very attentive and at the same time unobtrusive. Jorge helped us several times during our vacation and showed his best side more than once.

Daniel is a friendly helpful host. Nothing is too much to ask him. He helps with anything, even when you ask for buying fruit or vegetables. The location is in a great location: from beach to nightlife, restaurants and tranquility. It also offers complete privacy. Thanks Daniel for the service! It was also nice to meet you, always friendly and cheerful and helpful. Best, Dan

Common use esplanade apartment with a view and direct beach access. Loly and Luis are attentive to any need of ours and share their beautiful apartment for internet access or just enjoy a coffee and a beautiful view. Very useful recommendations.
