Hostal Cyrus and Lourdes

Wij sloten onze vakantie in Cuba af bij Lourdes en haar man. We hadden dat niet op een betere plek kunnen doen. De kamer was eigenlijk meer een appartement, zo groot was hij, met een eigen keuken, van alle gemakken voorzien. Lourdes bracht ons daar dagelijks een heerlijk ontbijt. We hebben genoten van het dakterras met uitzicht op zee. Boca de Camarioca voelde als een oase van rust om na een dagje strand in Varadero in terug te keren. Er zitten ook een aantal zeer goede restaurants. Het strand van Boca de Camarioca zelf is klein maar ook lekker en lag op nog geen 5 minuten lopen van de casa. Kortom een heerlijke plek deze casa, die we van harte aanbevelen. Wij kijken met heel positieve gevoelens terug op ons verblijf daar.

Lourdes and Ciro are a lovely, friendly couple who welcomed us warmly into their home. They helped us with booking taxis and served us a very early breakfast one morning before a trip, which was much appreciated! There was a great roof terrace with a swing to relax on and the facilities were very good. They included a private clothes line and hand washing area, private kitchen with dining table, fridge, single electric hob and fan. The bedroom was comfortable and had a fan, air-con, tv and small table. The shower room was very good. There was lots of clean storage space to use and extra blankets, sheets, towels and toilet rolls, perfect! Only 20 minutes walk to a lovely beach and many good restaurants nearby. A good place to relax. The breakfast was amazing with omelette, tomatoes, cheese, fresh rolls, fresh juices, cut fruits and wonderful coffee.
Thank you so much Lourdes and Ciro

Muchas gracias Lourdes y Ciro!!! 1st thing I realised when we arrived was how clean and spotless this accommodation was. We had such a good time staying in Boca de Camarioca with my in-laws and we all agreed that we would have spent more time there if we could. Only a short walk to 2-3 beaches where you can go for a refreshing swim. The patio on the roof is fabulous to watch sunsets and storms on the ocean! The rooms were comfortable but on a hot day make sure to start the AC early to beat the heat. Lourdes prepared delicious fruit platter for us on our 1st day and we asked for a breakfast on our last day and it was perfect! Cuba has the best mangoes!!! The fridge was full of water and cans of drinks at a good price, so very convenient. There is also a nice restaurant called Kbana just a few blocks away and the chef speaks English. You should get a taxi and go snorkelling and/or scuba dive at the Coral beach (12km) for a day. Also, it's easy to get on the bus to Varadero for a day-trip. If you can speak basic Spanish and want to experience the Cuban life with local people rather than resorts, you must visit Lourdes & Ciro in their friendly community! ;)

we got a warm welcome from Lourdes and Ciro. Lourdes picked us up from the airport for 20CUCs, what was very helpfully after the long trip. the village itself reveals real cuban live. in the morning all childrens brought to school with horse, moto, bike whatever you imagine . That's an event! We were served a fine breakfast with caribbean fruits for 5CUCs. We could have cooked in a kitchen, what we didn't want. For our sleeping well Ciro opened the window in the bigger sleepingroom, we got by chance, which is normally shut. it was a perfect start for our first Cubbean visit. Thank you so much!
