Casa Particular Price Guide – How Much Do Casas Cost?
This Casa Particular Price Guide is to help you determine how much the stay in a casa will cost you. The quotes are always per room, per day. One room can typically accommodate two people, so if you’re a couple, this price guide will still apply the same to you – aka you will be paying per room, not per person. However it is always important to clarify pricing up front with owners to make sure the price you are quoted is per room, not per person.
Casa Particular Price Guide
Cities are listed in alphabetical order and prices are in Cuban Convertible Pesos (CUC) – official Cuban currency for tourists and a currency you will need to use in order to pay for your stay in a Casa Particular:
Baracoa: CUC$ 15 – 20
Cardenas: CUC$ 25
Cienfuegos: CUC$ 20 – 30
Havana: CUC$ 25 – 35
Holguin: CUC$ 15 – 25
Santiago: CUC$ 20 – 30
Santa Clara: CUC$ 20
Trinidad: CUC$ 20 – 25
Vinales: CUC$ 15 – 20
Several factors influence the price of a Casa Particular. Location of a casa, views it offers as well as what type of casa it is determine the price. All casas I know of have air conditioned rooms. I don’t know of any that doesn’t. I would think there isn’t any such… Also every casa particular I have stayed in had warm water in the shower, even if by just having that small boiler mounted on the sprinkler.
Price Guide for Meals in a Casa Particular
Also note – meals are not included in price, unless specifically stated. It’s not expensive to pay casa owner for meals – breakfast is on average CUC$ 3 and supper CUC$ 7. Again, price will vary depending on which city you’re in. Breakfast I had in one Casa Particular Havana was not really worth it and cost $5 CUC. The worst thing however was that the same very breakfast was served each morning (I stayed there for 3 nights). This is something I didn’t know (paid for accommodation and breakfast up front) and since then I’d always asked what was for breakfast and if it was the same thing every morning.
