This area is very close to Varadero but much more fun. This is the real Cuba full of life. 10 min ride to the Playa. If you have access to transportation do not hesitate. The room is very clean modern and safe. You get a lot for your money!

Good value for money
The place is located in Santa Marta, approx 30min walking from the beaches in Varadero. You might be able to get a bike from the host, I am not 100%sure. The rental has its own access, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The host is very kind and helpful. I was able to use their internet for a reasonable price (in cuban terms) without having an internet account. Probably the only frustrating things were the mosquitoes and the lack of toilet seat. I would recommend it if you are on a budget.
