Apartments in Santa Marta

"Mara is a wonderful host! It was such a pleasure staying at this location A few things to keep in mind: - There's no wifi at the residence but you can purchase a cheap wifi card from a store close to the park in Santa Marta. You'll have to ask around to find out where to purchase it and where your devices will get reception - Mara doesn't cook breakfast for visitors but there are stalls and restaurants close to the residence that you can purchase food from - The electricity does go out somewhat frequently. Mara has a generator but it only powers a fan, it doesn't power the A/C - things like black tea are very difficult to find in Santa Marta. Please bring your own black tea if it's an essential for you Even though I've mentioned all of the above, we had a phenomenal time and we are very grateful to Mara for being such a great host. She was very helpful and kind!"

"Wow! What a great spot to explore Varadero. Incredibly clean! Modern air conditioning and wifi! We absolutely loved our stay and will come back for sure. Be sure to have the delicious breakfast! 10/10!"

"Cleanest place I have stayed in in Cuba. Good staff with very limited English and me with no Spanish. I arrived in terrific rain storm and the staff let me have my room early at no extra charge. Two cute, well behaved, friendly quiet house dogs. When I was waiting for a taxi the next morning, the landlady brought me coffee. Much appreciated. Nice clean place smelling slightly of new paint, always a good sign. "

"We had a lovely time staying with Isis. Her and her husband are truly lovely people. Their home was immaculately clean, they were friendly and welcoming without being overbearing, and the location was excellent. We were able to enjoy the beach which is only a block away and felt safe in the area even at night. The location is close to town and great restaurants. We had everything we needed in the home and Isis was always ready to give you whatever you needed. They were so sweet. It felt like you were staying with family. We loved lounging in their garden."

"Nice hosts! Recommended."

"Absolutely lovely space, we stayed here in Feb 2024 and can't wait to return! The room was spacious with a king size bed and had a large bathroom with twin sinks, soaker tub and a gorgeous tiled shower. Swimming is close by maybe 200m, in a sheltered bay. It's a public beach, but quiet. There is no lifeguard. Restaurants are close by, within 800m so an easy walk, but our host Jiscily makes such a wonderful breakfast that we gladly paid the extra. There is no scheduled garbage pickup in Boca, apparently, so don't be surprised if you see garbage on the streets, watch your step. There are foot washing areas near the entrance so you don't need to track sand upstairs. Thank you Olga and Jiscily for a terrific stay!"

"On the first day all my money and my coat got stolen, it was to hard to find proper food close by, hard to communicate, no wifi, hard to find a bank and no banks take Canadian cards, can only exchange at airport, the host was painting the building and I got paint on my clothes that didn’t come out, there was a cockroach in my room, bed was very uncomfortable "

"The hosts were the best help out with everything ❤️ I will recomend the place "
