1.
Which is the benefit of renting a private house in Cuba ?
First we believe that most of those that travel these
days to Cuba are looking for a close contact with our beautiful
nature, our beaches, our culture, our music, and more importantly:
our people. So the best way to stay in direct contact with the Cubans,
our hospitality, get to know the way we live, the way we are, the
way we face everyday's troubles with a smile, is living among us.
This applies to those interested in renting a private accommodation
sharing common areas with the Cuban families.
Another
advantage is that you can save some money if you rent in a private
accommodation. The average is cheaper than the State hotels, excluding
those private luxurious mansions with pool that are also available
for rent. Besides being in a private accommodation, you are not
forced to follow the routinary life we are used to live in a hotel,
and so you feel you are still at home.
The
third benefit is that yes, in private accommodations you are allowed
to bring Cuban guests and friends and even they are allowed to stay
overnight. Please notice that they must not be under age and they
must provide the house owner their full name and ID # to write it
down in the book. Cubans are not allowed to enter hotel rooms in
Cuba

Is it legal to rent a private house in Cuba? What about Varadero
beach?
Since 1997, the Cuban government allowed
the Cuban families to legally register their rental services for
foreigner tourists and thus they pay a license and taxes to the
Cuban government for this economical activity. It's indeed a legal
business in Cuba.
Regarding Varadero beach, it is now legal that Cuban citizens rent
their private homes to foreign tourists. Enjoy Varadero
beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Cuba!!

Will I have to share the private home with other tourists?
In some
cases, where more than one bedroom is available and the bedrooms
are inside the house or apartment, sharing common areas with the
Cuban family, the other bedrooms may be rented to other guests.
If this should be an inconvenience, please look in the directory
for the accommodations with private entrance. If you do not find
the accommodation with private entrance with the conditions that
you are looking for, please contact us and ask us what you need.
We have contacts with many other similar accommodations that may
be available

11. How
do I pay for my reservation? Who should I pay for my reservation?
Do I need to make a down payment ?
You pay
in cash when you get to the accommodation and you pay directly
to the landlord. You can either pay in advance for the total of
booked days or pay at the end. There must have been cases, specially
when booking for many days, when we might ask to do a downpayment
to be able to reach an acceptable level of commitment for both
parties.
