VidaNaPraia Posted August 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) A few cruisers have mentioned wanting to return to see more of Cuba. In case anyone ever wants to do a land based trip, and book a casa particular (without using the US agency *AirBnB), here is a list of private Cuban casa agencies. Most are agencies, to whom you give your details, and they offer options. Some allow you to deal directly with the casa owner. You can access reviews and photos of the casas. Hotels are quite expensive and the quality is not very high in most. In a casa particular, you have the priviledge of living with a Cuban family (usually, but not always in their home; some rent private apartments, but provide breakfast, and also dinner with advance notice) and getting to know them and their views. (*AirBnB has not been paying their Cuban casa hosts in many reported cases, and also the same casas are on the sites below for much less money, maybe even half. Most casas are 30 CUC per night per room. Cuba is very safe, so carrying cash should not be a worry. Support a Cuban entrepreneur's agency or deal directly with a Cuban host.) Do realize that because the internet is not great in Cuba, you may not get an immediate response to your query, as you might in a place with more internet infrastructure. But casa hosts do return messages. one list: http://forums.debbiescaribbeanresortreviews.com/t/websites-to-help-find-casas-in-cuba/23214 Also search for this very good app: http://www.cuba-junky.com/ (direct with casa owners by email or phone) and more from a very organized and helpful poster on TA: http://www.casasdecuba-en.net/ http://www.casaparticularcuba.org/ http://havanacasaparticular.com/ http://casaparticular.org/ https://www.mycasaparticular.com/en/ http://www.cubaccommodation.com/ http://bedincuba.com/ http://casahavanaparticular.com/ http://www.casaparticular.com http://www.casaincuba.com/ http://yourcasaparticular.com/ http://www.cubaparticular.com/ www.bbinnvinales.com casecuba@gmail.com (Dalia) www.Cubabookingroom.com Edited August 5, 2017 by VidaNaPraia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
