Recently I visited city of Camaguey, in Cuba. It was a work related trip, however I decided to experience real Cuba.. that's why I wanted to stay in Casa particular.. a licensed private B&B.

I was advised by friends to stay in the casa Miriam and Enrique. Living in this house I have experienced the real Cuba.

The house was located in center of the Camaguey city, on Republica 505. It's a former colonial house licensed and registered to provide Bed and Breakfast facilities.

The owners are very pleasant people that speak English and Russian, were very helpful: Enrique very helpful in travel tips on Camaguey and Cuba overall, he can fascinate you with history of the Island. Miriam the lady of the house is an amazing cook, her gastronomical abilities a great with carefully prepared home made breakfasts and dinners. ..So one should not worry about meals, while staying in their casa.

The room is very specious, with a high sealing, separate air-conditioning unit, private bathroom with a shower and hot water. There are two beds, so the room can accommodate 1 or 2 clients, or a couple with a child.

Also it's a walking distance from shopping, colonial monuments, museums and parks, so there is plenty to see.

If I have a chance to travel to Camaguey again, I will be staying in the same property, since the treatment I got there will not compare with many hotels.

For information their address: Republica 505, e/ Francisquito y San Jose, CP 70100, Camaguey, Cuba

Price per night is: 25 CUC ( Cuban Convertible Pesos), meals are a bit extra.

Happy travels.
