Private suite holiday rentals in Varadero

Adriannas uncle Agustin checked me in. Throughout my stay he was friendly and helpful. The place is in a great location, a few blocks from the beach, good neighbourhood. The rooster wakes you up bright and early! Everything was great.

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!

Our Stay at Claudia's was nothing short of excellent. We were warmly received by Claudia's mother Mayelin, and very well attended to. She helped us change money, find sugar, and even gifted us a fresh lobster. The apartment itself had everything we were looking for. Highlights were the outdoor terrace with sweeping views of Santa Marta and the terrace pool, great for shaking the heat. We chose the location for its proximity to legal and civil registry offices (2 blocks), but we found that it was also close to some excellent restaurants, by Cuban standards, Mojito highly recommended, and a very short walk (20min) or taxi (5min) to the white sand beach and turquoise water of Varadero beach. The value at Claudia's place can't be beat!

Muy recomendable. La familia es muy atenta y siempre dispuesta a ayudarte. Nos hemos sentido bastante cómodos y disfrutado de la playa que está a sólo unos pasos de la casa. La habitación consta de dos espacios y una sala y cocina que se ajusta a todas las necesidades. Es un lugar muy recomendable con un precio accesible. Muchas gracias por todas las facilidades. esperemos regresar pronto 👐🏽

Daisy is possibly the best host that I've ever stayed with! She is very caring, very welcoming, super helpful with all the local tips, taxis, transport, internet, etc., very attentive but also gives you space. The place is very spacious, with a beautifully maintained garden, rocking chairs, few cosy corners to chill with a book and a nice coffee that Daisy will make for you. The rooms are also very comfortable, we stayed in both on different nights. Clean bathroom, comfy beds, towels for shower and also for the beach, nicely equipped fridge with beers and other drinks. On top of that, Daisy also makes really huge and yummy breakfasts and dinners if you request! Any comfort that you can get in Cuba - you get it here. The Boca town is nearby Varadero, the main beach destination, which is reachable in few minutes by taxi or bus. We preferred to spend most of our time in Boca though. It's a cute little town that has all you need: a nice little beach, surprisingly good restaurants, a shop that was best equipped that we've seen anywhere in Cuba including Havana, yummy 25 cent ice-cream place, a park with good WiFi, etc. If we come back to Cuba, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you Daisy for the great time we had!

a person couldn't ask for better hosts. every step of they way they were available, the food was delicious, the mood was relaxed and it was possible to get some much needed rest. any question I had, anything I needed I got it fast and always with a smile. 10/10 definitely will go back there. it feels like a home away from home

O espaço é muito bom. Tem todas as comodidades, espaço exterior para cozinhar muito bom. O local tem tudo o que é necessário para uma boa estadia. A decoração exterior é muito muito bonita. A casa tem uma localização espetacular, é muito cêntrica, mas calma e sem barulho. Tem tudo muito próximo a uma distância de poucos passos: a 3 min a pe, da praia numa zona de Varadero muito boa, rodeada de optimos restaurantes (Bodeguita del Médio, por explo), de transportes (terminal fica a 3 quadras), próximo da casa da musica, das feiras de artesanato. os anfitriões simpáticos. Foi uma óptima estadia

Logement propre, indépendant, moderne. Je recommande à 100%, surtout si vous voulez découvrir Varadero tout en gardant l’authenticité de Cuba!

Nous avons passé un beau séjour et la piscine fut le must du séjour

Krásné ubytování, paní hostiteka byla milá, vzžy ochotná pomoci a poradit. Doporučuji.

Apartamento confortável, limpo e silencioso. Os anfitriões sempre estiveram a disposição para nos ajudar no que fosse preciso. A noite, o silêncio e a escuridão do quarto nos ofereceu noites excelentes de sono. A localização do apartamento é excelente. Melhor impossível. Fica no meio de todo o comércio da região. Há a possovilidade de usar o fogão e a churrasqueira da área externa e, inclusive lar roupas, caso necessário. A internet não funciona bem, mas isso é um problema em todos os lugares que visitamos em Cuba. Se voltássemos a Varadero, ficaríamos no mesmo lugar, sem dúvidas.

Leuke plek op een goede locatie. Het is niet groot maar wel onderhouden en vriendelijke mensen om je heen. Prima voor een nachtje. 👍🏼

I really enjoyed my stay, the casa is good equipped, clean, close to everything and anaili was very friendly and great help. Would recommend to stay at this cozy place with an amazing terrace right in front of your door. Muchas gracias!

Tuvimos una estancia agradable muy buena atención de Milko y esposa anfitriones excelentes comodidad limpieza y atención recomendables

El espacio que ofrece la Sra. Niurka, aparte de limpio, acojedor y confortable, tiene la gran ventaja de estar a sólo unos pasos de la playa. El autobús turístico que es casi de uso imprescindible para conocer toda la península, también está muy cerca del dormitorio. Está, también, rodeado de lugares muy económicos para desayunar, comer y/o cenar Pero el verdadero valor agregado es el trato con la la anfitriona, quien se desvivió en atenciones para con nosotros lo que nos hizo sentirnos muy especiales. Muchas gracias, Niurka!!

Thank you so much Dunia for your incredible and amazing hospitality. You made us feel nice and welcomed and at home with your friendliness and all you did to go above and beyond even when things were out of our hands. Your cafecito and directions to restaurants and things to do while there were awesome. Also, thank you for accommodating my special requests upon arrival. Your place really did feel like I was at home. Wish we could have stayed longer, but I’m sure we will be back and when we do, we can sit and enjoy more of your delish cafecito. Until next time!

Nos encanto el lugar, muy limpio y la señora que nos acogió fue muy amable y servicial, recomiendo este lugar! 😊

Great location to go and do lots of activities. Right next to a beautiful park for walking with lots of shopping and restaurants in the area. The host was super sweet and welcoming and would definitely stay there again.
