Anyone know of a private house in front of the sea inthe center of Havana?

We are 3 couples who love the sea, want to be in a house on the Malecon of Havana, where we can be together. It would have a balcony or terrace overlooking the street and comfortable rooms. anyone can help me?,

thanks

Hotel El Terral. It's new and it's on the Malecon. You'll not find a private house for 6.

You can find two bedrooms and another place close by but 3 room places are harder. The hotel mentioned above is nice but $150+ a night. The Deauville is also on the Malecon for about $70 per night.

If it was me, I would get off Malecon into Miramar. Hotel Villa Costa, one room on the ocean, two interior rooms. Converted small Miramar hotel/motel - think Miami boutique oceanfront.

Yes private houses at the Malecon with rooms for three couples exist. I said hard to find but doable. The sooner the booking the easier to get them reserved.

Chef # 3:
BTW Chef, Terral before July 15th no more than $98.00 USD for a couple with breakfasts included.

Ah! A suite at Terral..

Just in case for those interested in private houses Chef:

If you want a suite in a private house and another three bedrooms all overlooking a pool and the ocean like the one at Copacabana hotel, you can get that as well.

But this type of accommodation and services are not for the cheap folks in this Fiurm…lol.. The so-called regulars here spend much of their time looking hoe to reduce in 5 cuc everything they do in Cuba and I know of some that prefer to take their Cuban “frens” and gf to Pollo Ditu only to save; but then come back here and say they experienced the best restaurants in Havana…lol..

Ditu.... horrible stuff, imo.

Ya, there are a couple of large houses near that hotel in Miramar. Sat dish. pool etc. One right next to it, if I recall. I remember about 10 years I checked it out. Rooms then were between 35-50, depending on the room. It was booked solid, though, for the next few months.

Jorge, I will buy the drinks for sure!
OP, I know the area pretty well and maybe even the apartment but I've never been in it.

Gres # 10:
On the private house arena things have changed a lot. 99% of the houses with nice pools and offering other services do not charge per bedroom anymore but by the entire facility. I do not know one that charges less than 300.00 cuc daily (having three bedrooms).

In fact the one I was referring to in my previous post charges independently by its three bedroom area and the suite. The suite only, see only, no less than 350.00 cuc/night. So total for the house 750.00 cuc. GO figure!

I just got back from my first trip to Cuba and stayed at a casa that might fit your needs. It is called habanavista which has a rooftop pool on the 16th floor. They have several suites and my suite cost 100 euro per night but the place was empty so you might do better.

Everything about the place was wonderful from the food to the hospitality. It has trip advisor reviews and a website.

We already have our tickets, we will be up going on July 16th and we are very excited about this trip, We saw the hotel Terral and we love it, but expensive for us. I also want to know the Cubans in their daily life and talk to them.
