Homestay accommodation on our Cuba tours

In Cuba we use a mixture of small hotels and family home-stays

Homestay accommodation is a fundamental component of many of our tours. For most particpants on these tours, the homestays are a major highlight of their time in Cuba, as they provide a first-hand experience of living with a Cuban family. The homestays are a vastly different experience than staying in hotels. Most Cubans are very friendly and love to talk to you. The rooms are basic but all very comfortable and clean, and the families will try to make you feel at home as much as possible, like part of the family. In each city in Cuba where we have homestay accommodation, the group will split up into different homes. Generally there will be between 1 and 4 group members with each family.

Accommodation is carefully selected

The houses and hotels we use on the tour have been carefully selected over time taking into account travellers' feedback. Generally, homestay accommodation in Cuba can vary quite significantly in comfort and quality. We book what we consider the best homestay accommodation ahead of time so as to ensure your maximum comfort. In choosing these homes, we also place importance on the family you will be staying with and not just the physical comfort of the house. In general the houses are nicer than the average Cuban dwelling as for a start, the family needs to have enough resources to have a spare room to accommodate a guest. Some of the rooms have air-conditioning and others just a fan. They usually have a private bathroom for the guests and towels and soap are provided. Almost always they have hot water showers, although because of the climate you may find it more refreshing to have a cool one.
