bonjour a tous
étant nouveau sur ce site je voudrais vous faire part de mon désir de visiter cuba fin mars début avril.
on a un projet de faire 4 ville principale sur 12-13 jours;notre budget n'étant pas très élevé (environ 4000 euros pour deux avec les billets d'avion)nous avons décider de partir en maison particular.
les villes ou nous contons logés sont :
- la havane (bien sur)
- vinales
- santa clara
- trinidad
pour la havane on a trouvé mais on peine pour les trois autres villes .si quelqu'un connait des bonnes adresses (éventuellement parlé français ou anglais) ce serais super.
Je ne saurais trop vous recommander le site particuba.net. Lors de plusieurs voyages dans différentes villes du pays, j'ai souvent suivi leurs recommandations, avec grande satisfaction. C'est un site à but non-lucratif, vous y retrouvez les coordonnées des casas et pouvez les contacter directement. De plus le site offre plein d'infos sur Cuba.
À Trinidad, j'ai visité l'hostal Alameda qui est dans une classe vraiment à part; tout récent, décoration de bon goût, très grand jardin ombragé, il est tenu par Daniela, une québéco-cubaine (ou cubano-québécoise?) qui promet une cuisine gastronomique rare. Le paladar Estela offre aussi une atmosphère très agréable, avec une cuisine plus traditionnellement cubaine. Ignorez les jineteros qui vous conteront que c'est fermé, déménagé, que la proprio est malade... ils essayent seulement d'obtenir votre clientèle!
Sinon, toujours à Trinidad, j'ai passé une semaine très agréable chez Bernardo et Sarahi, deux hôtes exquis, à la fois respectueux et généreux de leur temps et connaissance du pays. J'y ai aussi très bien mangé (ah! les petits déjeuners!).
À Santa Clara, le Florida Center offre aussi un cadre exceptionnel; à défaut de pouvoir y loger, j'y ai soupé dans le grand patio fleuri, et aussi profité des conseils de visite d'Angel. Mais j'ai été déçu de devoir loger chez une voisine, dans un cadre beaucoup plus banal: attention à l'overbooking. Je vous recommande de confirmer la réservation pour la casa spécifique que vous avez choisie, car cette pratique sévit (dans les deux sens, d'ailleurs... certains proprios perdant des nuitées à cause de voyageurs qui ne se présentent pas). Surtout si vous voyagez autour des vacances de Pâques, réservez quelques semaines à l'avance.
Budget: je dépense autour de 75$ à 100$CDN par jour (en gros l'équivalent de 60 à 75Euros, ou 65 à 85CUC): chambre (30$), 2 repas en casa (12$ à 15$) plus un autre le midi, le transport en bus et/ou taxi et/ou la location d'un scooter (30$ par jour), le reste en eau, cafés, boissons, transport local, entrées aux musées, sans compter les transferts d'aéroport et la taxe de sortie de 30$. Non, Cuba n'est pas une destination particulièrement économique.
Salut, pour Vinales, je te recommande la casa Yaneisis. Elle est bien situé, famille très sympathique et elle parle très bien l'anglais. Super bouffe !
On donne souvent les bonnes casas à Cuba. En voilà 2, à Viñalès, MAIS A EVITER ABSOLUMENT :
On m’avait donné l’adresse de la Casa Dalia y Milo, Sergio Dopico n°3A. Recommandée sur Internet.
En fait c’est la fille qui est venue me chercher. Et je me suis retrouvée chez la fille, pas chez les parents… la casa à éviter, c’est celle de la fille : Villa Damaris. Orlando Nodarse #32, /Sergio Dopico y Adela Azcuy, Vinales
15 CUC (d’après elle, censé être 20 CUC mais elle a dû me mentir pour me faire croire qu’elle me faisait un prix, on était en avril, hors saison).
Pas de sourire, pas de « ola » de la part des enfants (genre 5 et 7 ans)(j’ai 35 ans mais oui, j’étais choquée, et elle à dû insister plusieurs fois pour qu’ils finissent par dire ola, sans même me regarder), un tout petit « ola » de la part du mari. 8 CUC le dîner pour une pauvre soupe au maïs, un pauvre filet de poisson frit avec du riz, un morceau de pain pas frais et quelques morceaux de fruits qui n’avaient pas de goût (mais ça c’est pas forcément sa faute). Tout ça à manger seule à 1 mètre en face d’un mur, avec la fille qui regarde la télé à fond à côté en se balançant comme une tarée sur son fauteuil à bascule qui me donnait envie de vomir. Portions toutes petites, j’avais encore vraiment faim. 4CUC le petit-déjeuner, avec la télé à fond aussi car elle regarde son feuilleton. Super, super désagréable. Et j’avais encore faim aussi.
Mais reste le + grave : je l’ai surprise le lendemain à être allée dans ma chambre à peine partie puisque je suis revenue moins d’une heure après être partie… J’ai trouvé la douche toute mouillée, avec encore les traces des pieds mouillés sur le tapis, mon shampooing tombé, pas de doute, elle était bien là ! (j’avais pris ma douche la veille au soir…). La porte d’entrée de la maison était fermée à clé, ce qui lui a laissé le temps de finir, et de refermer ma chambre à clé !!! Je lui dit « c’est pas la peine de faire le ménage dans ma chambre quand je suis pas là », pour rigoler, et bizarrement, même après lui avoir répété, ben elle ne comprenait plus l’anglais… n’ayant absolument plus confiance, j’ai évidemment changé de casa.
A noter qu’elle n’avait évidemment pas de monnaie, qu’elle voulait que je lui donne + puis elle me rembourserai la différence + tard, ce que j’ai EVIDEMMENT refusé ! Je lui dis eh ben je donne rien maintenant, et je reviendrai avec la somme exacte + tard. Et là, comme une furie enragée, elle me fait « GIVE ME MY MONEY !!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY !!!! ». Tout le quartier a dû entendre, mais ça m’a + fait rire qu’autre chose. Bref, je suis allée faire de la monnaie et suis revenue lui donner son argent.
Pour clôturer le tout, elle m’avait en + piqué mes sandales, mais je les ai récupérées puisque j’étais encore à Vinalès quand je m’en suis rendue compte.
Me voilà donc dans une deuxième casa..
Aleida Hernandez Hernandez, Calle Adela Azcuy n°10. Vinales.
C’est la première maison bleue de la grande rue qui monte vers l’hôtel La Ermita.
15 CUC la chambre, 3 CUC le petit-déjeuner, 4 CUC le dîner (que je n’ai pas essayé).
C’est une famille, avec les vieux parents et leur fille enceinte, avec son copain. La chambre a une entrée indépendante de la leur, comme une annexe, en fait.
Quand je leur ai dit que je ne mangerai pas chez eux le soir, elles ont commencé à gémir, à me regarder avec des yeux de chien battu, et même, me supplier ! La fille me regarde, commence à caresser son ventre et me fait « we need this money », genre j’ai besoin d’argent pour mon bébé qui va naître !!!!
Le 2eme jour, il y a eu un gros orage en fin d’après-midi. J’ai retrouvé ma chambre la porte ouverte… (toutes mes affaires étaient là), avec des serpillères car un peu inondé à cause des trous au plafond !!! Le lit trempé au bout… personne n’est venu me voir pour s’excuser…
Le lendemain, j’avais quand même prévu de petit-déjeuner dans ma casa avant d’aller prendre le bus. Assise seule à une table au milieu de la salle à manger un peu glauque, il a commencé à y avoir beaucoup de bestioles, attirées par la lampe, le jour commençait tout juste à se lever…. des espèces de gros machins volants qui font du bruit. Beaucoup. Puis beaucoup beaucoup. Je leur ai dit que je n’étais pas contente, mais la mère se contentait d’essayer de les faire partir avec un journal, très agréable… Puis quand ils ont commencé à venir s’écraser sur la table et à passer entre ma cuillère et ma bouche, j’ai quand même fini par crier… du coup elle a carrément éteint la lumière… mais je n’allais pas manger dans le noir, quand même !!! Elle a donc rallumé. J’ai pris toutes les affaires sous le bras comme j’ai pu (personne ne m’a aidé !) et suis allée finir le petit déj dans ma chambre !
A éviter aussi, donc !!!
YOUPSSSSSSS............. carrément dur!! merci de nous le signaler ....il y a casa et casa si je peux dire.....!! pas de chance pour toi cependant....incroyable!
Tu n'est malheureusement pas la seule a qui ce genre de mesaventure est arrivee....Mais tu as le merite de l'avoir signalé ici, en plus avec tous les details. Ce forum sert aussi a ca. Bravo et merci.
un peu d'espagnol rien que par respect pour le pays visite est deja un atout. Cela facilite les relations. L'anglais aussi peut vous aider. Mais le plus facile pour arriver a se faire comprendre est: un sourire et comme disent les routards "les pieds et les mains"😉
Avez vous des recommandations de casas, la havane, vinales, trinitad... Sachant que parlant espagnol on cherche à partager avec nos hotes, donc pas trop style…

Hi,
I’m heading to Miches for the first time in November 2026 (no all-inclusive)
I’d love some tips to plan my stay—accommodation, things to do, places of interest nearby.
Is it possible to rent a scooter there to get around the area?
Thanks for your help!
Best,
hi there, I’ve never been to Martinique. my girlfriend, who’s of Martinican origin, has never had the chance to go either (life isn’t always easy). now we can plan a little trip, but we don’t know which airline to choose or how to find accommodation.
basically, I need quite a few tips.
we’re planning to go in September—no chance before that.
Hi! We spent 10 wonderful days in Guadeloupe’s gorgeous climate. Our arrival got off to a shaky start, though—our suitcase was left behind at the airport, which caused quite a stir. A police officer was shouting at us to get out and cross the street. Then, a taxi driver refused to take us after we showed him where we were staying, right by the port in Pointe-à-Pitre. "No one goes there," he told us! Good thing we arrived during Carnival! A second driver finally agreed to take us, and I can say he knew every nook and cranny of his city.
The rest of the trip was amazing. The locals were smiling and welcoming. We didn’t rent a car, so we didn’t get around much and stayed in the Deshaies area—a real favorite. Plage de la Perle (Pearl Beach) truly lives up to its name! We liked Grande Anse Beach less because of the steep slope, which made walking tricky, and the waves were pretty intense. The landscapes in this part of the island are idyllic. We visited the botanical garden—it’s worth it—and went to the port in Deshaies. If we ever go back, we’ll rent a vehicle so we can explore more, because taxis aren’t cheap!
Hi, I’m leaving soon for Punta Cana—what kind of money should we bring: Canadian dollars, US dollars, or are we forced to exchange once we arrive?
Thanks
We spent 15 days in the Exumas from March 10th to 26th.
I should mention that we’ve been traveling to islands for 20 years, so we have points of comparison when it comes to prices, hospitality, and landscapes.
First, the flights: we now live in the Luberon, so we flew out of Marseille. We took British Airways, which we’ve used several times before for trips to the English-speaking Caribbean and which offers flights via Heathrow. We had an overnight layover in London on the way out, then a flight to Nassau. After that, we took a connecting flight (we had a 2h20 layover in Nassau, which was more than enough) to George Town with Sky Bahamas. We had initially ruled out Bahamasair based on very negative reviews.
Immigration and customs were very quick.
When we arrived, we took a taxi to our hotel, Augusta Bay. Cost: $30.
We rented a car through Sure and Shore. It was delivered to our hotel the day after we arrived, and we kept it until we left for Stocking Island. For 9 days, we paid $470 (which is a great price) for a small Honda that wasn’t very new, but we didn’t have any issues with it. One thing we’d never experienced before: they’d put newspaper sheets on the floor, and we were told not to get any sand in the car if we went to the beach!
We stayed 5 nights at Augusta Bay. A 5-minute walk away is the beautiful, uncrowded Jolly Beach, perfect for swimming. We visited the southern part of the island to see the beaches of Little Exuma, especially Tropic of Cancer Beach and the one next to Santana’s restaurant. We also went to Hopper Bay Beach, where you can see a group of about ten turtles near a small boat dock. We went kayaking from the hotel.
Then we stayed at Paradise Bay in the north. While we hadn’t encountered the sandfly problem before, here it’s important to know that the beach is infested with them. The hotel’s restaurant, which is very good otherwise, even provides repellent for guests— that’s how bad it is!
From there, we visited Coco Plum Beach, Three Sisters Beach (where you can snorkel), and others. We also went kayaking again.
We ended our trip with 3 nights on Stocking Island at Saint Francis Resort. If we were to do it again, we’d spend 4 nights there. The island has many trails, snorkeling spots, and you can get around by kayak. We saw rays, turtles, and even a harmless shark, as well as some beautiful beaches. Plus, the welcome at Saint Francis was the warmest we experienced.
Be aware that everything is very expensive on the island—much more so than in the English-speaking Caribbean. Clearly, the purchasing power of Americans plays a role. They say everything is imported, but that’s the case on all islands!
Some places only accept cash or charge a 5% fee if you pay by card.
We didn’t find the locals particularly friendly. If you’ve been to Dominica or Grenada, for example, you’ll know what I mean.
We explored the whole island. The beaches are stunning, but the roads tell a different story. There are a lot of car wrecks—some houses have two or three in front of them, which really spoils the landscape. There are also many abandoned, ruined houses.
The vegetation is lush but not tropical, and you’ll be served apples and oranges for breakfast because there are very few exotic fruits.
As for the climate in March, there was no humid atmosphere, and the heat was very manageable (26°C). It was very pleasant. The seawater, however, is definitely cooler than in the Indian Ocean, for example.
There’s not much snorkeling, but we knew that before coming.
In conclusion: beautiful beaches, sand as fine as flour, and a very pleasant climate. But honestly, for the same cost, I’d prefer the Seychelles, for example.
Hi everyone,
I need your help!
We’re planning to visit Guadeloupe and take the opportunity to explore the islands La Désirade, Marie-Galante, and Les Saintes.
I initially planned to rent a car to get around the main island and then take the ferry from Trois-Rivières to Les Saintes, from Pointe-à-Pitre to Marie-Galante, and finally from Saint-François to La Désirade, following that route.
But when I look at it, the car would sit unused for at least 5 days—that’s paying for nothing🙁.
Is it possible to go from LES SAINTES to MARIE-GALANTE and then on to LA DÉSIRADE? We’d only rent a car once we arrive in Saint-François to continue exploring Guadeloupe. What do you think—is that doable?
This trip is planned for April.
Thanks so much for your help
Just a quick update on the state of this road: the unpaved section has been significantly improved. You can now complete the journey in about 4 to 4.5 hours instead of 6. Great news! For me, the most hazardous part is actually the paved section before and after Sagua. It encourages higher speeds, but there are deep, dangerous potholes that appear without warning. Be careful!
I’d also note that despite occasional power outages—which casas and paladares know how to handle—tourism remains perfectly doable. Cuba is still magical! I was just told, with a touch of humor, that the official German government website suggests bringing your own toilet paper and candles… Hmm, maybe an update on rechargeable gear would be in order…
Hi! We’re visiting Guadeloupe for the first time in January. We’re looking for accommodation near Deshaies to start our trip. A quiet spot, not too far from the sea so we can walk there. Any suggestions are welcome!
I’ve just returned from 15 days in Cuba and wanted to share my experience along with some practical tips for those planning a trip there.
1. Formalities:
- Passport valid for at least 6 months after your return.
- E-visa: apply online (payment by bank transfer only via the embassy of your choice): evisacuba.cu or through an agency novelacuba.com (card payment on their site—I had to go with this option and recommend it because the Cuban embassy in Brussels apparently never received my transfer...)
- Digital D’Viajeros form to fill out a few days before departure
- Mandatory health insurance
2. Currency/budget
- Plan your entire budget in cash; card payments are rare, and withdrawals at the official rate aren’t great.
Local currency: CUP (Cuban Peso)
Official rate: ~1 € = 120 CUP → state-run restaurants and shops.
Current unofficial rate: ~1 € = 490 CUP → private restaurants, local bars, Cuban-owned shops.
For exchanging money:
The easiest way: ask at your *casa particular* or a local restaurant.
3. My itinerary (15 days)
Havana: 3 nights
Viñales: 3 nights
Cienfuegos: 1 night
Trinidad: 3 nights
Varadero: 3 nights
Havana: 1 night
Flights: Air Europa from Brussels, with a layover in Madrid. Smooth and pleasant service.
Accommodations: *casas particulares* booked on Airbnb except for Varadero (Iberostar Playa Alameda hotel).
Practical tips
Install a VPN before departure (many blocked sites like Instagram and Airbnb).
Download the El Toque app to check the updated CUP exchange rate.
Internet via ETECSA SIM card (~30 € for 10 GB) or Wi-Fi in hotels/*casas*.
Download Maps.me for offline maps.
Intercity travel: shared taxi, Viazul bus, or private transfer through your *casa*.
Electricity: 110 V, sometimes 220 V.
Bring basic supplies and medications—hard to find there.
Cuba requires flexibility and openness: regular power outages, unstable internet (especially in Trinidad).
Finally, my personal take:
I loved my trip to Cuba! It’s a disorienting yet deeply charming country.
Poverty is visible, especially in Havana: crumbling buildings, many people asking for help (but no safety concerns!). Bringing some essentials for locals is a good idea (soap, toothpaste, medications, clothes...).
Cubans are incredibly welcoming and friendly. A few basics in Spanish help a lot! The vibe is unique: music in every street, musicians everywhere, salsa all around.
The variety of landscapes is amazing: colonial architecture, paradise beaches, mountains, waterfalls, lush valleys—you’ll never get bored.
Only downside: Varadero, less authentic than the rest of the country, but I expected that!
Overall, it was a wonderful trip, and I’d love to go back!
Hi,
Several comments recommend bringing mosquito repellent. Got it. Are there a lot of them during the day? And by the seaside? Or are they more present (and voracious) in the evening? Thanks.
I bought tickets for Martinique in April 2025 for 15 days, without really looking into what there was to do, and with the idea in my head that we could: hike, do water activities, swim, visit rum distilleries...
But... I’m worried I’ll get bored over 15 days and I’m considering maybe spending 1 week in Guadeloupe and 1 week in Martinique.
For example, I don’t know how to spend a whole afternoon at the beach. 2 hours, max.
I know it’s a personal question and depends on how you travel, but I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve done it:
- Did you feel too rushed?
- Is it reasonable to do?
- How much time would you spend on each island?
I’ve just returned from Havana after an 18-day stay from October 8th to 26th.
From Montreal, you have to go through Varadero Airport. I now break up the airport-to-Havana transfer with a SUPER pleasant stopover halfway, in the historic village of Hershey (Camilo Cienfuegos). Quebecer Anne-Marie has renovated a century-old house there, and every stay of mine feels like a peaceful oasis. Amazing food, a pool, impeccable hospitality—I highly recommend it! Casa Cub'Anita.
Life for Cubans remains just as tough, made even harder right now by tropical viruses spread by mosquitoes. It’s absolutely essential to protect yourself properly. That said, the purchasing power of foreign currency hasn’t changed much, despite skyrocketing inflation. As of today, the US dollar exchanges for nearly 500 pesos on the "informal market."
This was my first time staying in Vieja, in the non-touristy part. I discovered some great little restaurants run by the younger generation. Affordable, excellent food, and remarkably friendly service: El Chanchulero (it was about time I checked it out—unbeatable value for money!), El Café, Jibaro...
Cubans are still as warm and welcoming as ever—bicitaxis, servers, markets. Speaking the language is a huge plus.
Essentials to download from abroad before you leave: the maps.me offline maps app, and the La Nave taxi/motorcycle taxi app, which is super efficient for getting around the capital.
Sending my best to all my friends in Oriente as the hurricane passes, especially to Baracoa. I’m planning to visit this winter.
I’m planning a trip to Cuba this summer and I’d love some info: Is travel insurance really necessary? Can you easily get online by buying a local SIM card or internet card? Apparently, there’s only one currency now—is it better to exchange money with your *casa particular* host?
Thanks for all these valuable tips!
Hi!
I’m heading to Havana for a week in February. I’m looking for a casa particular that’s affordable, clean, and cozy. Since I’ll be traveling alone, I’d love a place where people are welcoming!
Also, I really want to stay in Habana Vieja...
Do you have any recommendations for places you’ve stayed before?
I tried booking the casa particular *Chez Nous*, but I never got a response.
Hi fellow travelers,
We're heading to Martinique for a month from mid-January to mid-February.
Our plan is to explore the island by staying in three different spots for 10 days each, on both sides of the island...
Could you share some great tips on where to stay for an authentic experience and what we absolutely must see?!
Hi there,
In March 2026 I’ll be at the Club Med in Sainte-Anne and I’m thinking of heading to Les Saintes at the end of my stay.
Do you know what the most convenient way to get there is?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone.
For those traveling to Cuba and then planning to go to the USA, you won’t be able to get your ESTA for the United States (same applies) if you’ve been to Cuba after 2021 due to a law passed by Donald Trump (a law that Biden later repealed).
You’ll have no choice but to apply for a visa, which costs 200 € (and approval isn’t guaranteed even after payment).
If you’re in this situation, the process to get this visa will be a real hassle—you’ll need to book an appointment at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. It’s the only embassy in France authorized to handle your application after you’ve filled out the visa request on the official website.
If you try to cheat by applying for an ESTA for the USA, just know that the American administration has ways of finding out if you’ve been to Cuba. 😉
I'm looking for information on the islands of Puerto Rico, St. Barthélemy, and St. Martin for March 2026.
What is there to see, and if possible, prices or tips, please?
Thanks, Michel V.
I’ve booked a room at an all-inclusive in Varadero for January 2025. This will be my 3rd trip to Cuba, the last one was 20 years ago.
The whole tipping and gratuities thing is wearing me out. Even though it’s an all-inclusive package, I think it’d be rude not to leave any tips for the bar staff and the housekeeping team, especially.
Here’s what I’m aiming for:
1. Not feeling stingy (or “feeling cheap” for my fellow Quebecers);
2. Not disrespecting Cubans by offering junk or, on the flip side, going overboard and creating unrealistic expectations for future tourists;
3. And most importantly, not spending the whole week wondering if I’m doing the right thing. I’m going there to relax, not to stress!
Hi there,
I’m planning our upcoming trip to Guadeloupe. We’re looking for a place to stay where human contact is a priority, with air conditioning, close to the beaches, and clean.
We’ve had several responses. After doing some research online, I was able to rule out quite a few options.
But now I’m deciding between:
Kokoplaj, tipayoune (issue: no AC, just fans—is that a problem?), Résidence Le Zandoli, and Gwada Rêves.
If you have any info or experiences to share, I’d love to hear them! ;-)
Thanks for your help!
See you soon...
I’m heading to Blau Costa Verde next February and I’d like to rent a scooter to explore the area. Are the roads around Holguín in good condition? I’m thinking of renting one for 1–2 or 3 days to visit Holguín, Gibara, and Banes on my own. Do you recommend it (I’ve got a great sense of direction)? How much does it usually cost to rent a scooter for 2 or 3 days (or a car, though I’d prefer a scooter)? Also, are there any other interesting spots nearby you’d suggest checking out?
Are there any excursions to Santiago, and how much do they typically cost?
Hi,
When booking the tickets to Martinique for our family, I must have made a mistake, and on one of the tickets, the third first name is wrong. Michel instead of Joel...
CORSAIR Airlines is telling me I have to buy a new ticket for 1200 € (Christmas period). I think that’s outrageous and, above all, impossible for us.
I’m desperate—I feel like Corsair is really overdoing it.
Is there any recourse? How can I get out of this?
I’m throwing this message in a bottle, just in case...😕
Hi, I'm looking for a car rental for January 2020 in Guadeloupe. There are several agencies I've seen reviews for—has anyone dealt with Autolagon before?
Thanks!
I’m heading to Bayahibe this winter. It’ll be my second time in this country, where I feel so at home.
I’d love to bring back some Larimar jewelry... the real deal.
I saw some at a shop in the Iberostar Dominicus hotel, but I’m guessing I can find it cheaper elsewhere. Maybe in La Romana?
If anyone has any tips on this, I’d really appreciate it.
Some wholesalers are canceling trips to Cuba, but I still want to visit my favorite country. For those who went there in November, what’s the situation like at all-inclusive hotels?
