The finest beaches in the world, a true dream holiday, but private accommodations directly on the beach are few, expensive and almost always booked out.

Hostal Azul in Matanzas is probably the best alternative

FAQ No. 1: Where are the beaches in Matanzas?
A small beach El Tenis is situated about 4 Km from Hostal Azul, along the Malecon sea shore boulevard.
Another beach, Playa Coral, about 15 Km. Playa Coral is suitable for diving. Both are small and indeed not as impressive as the beaches of Varadero.

Our guests write:

Aus Kuba zurückgekehrt, möchte ich Ihnen meine durchwegs positiven Eindrücke der beiden Casas (Hostal Azul und Hostal Alma) in Matanzas mitteilen. Zum Unterschied von vielen anderen Unterkünften hatte ich hier nie den Eindruck, als Tourist abgezockt zu werden und auch bei meinem Versuch, das Abhandenkommen meiner (mir) wertvollen Goldkette nachzuvollziehen, war mir die Hausfrau äußerst behilflich. Dank ihrer Beobachtung weiß ich, daß diese Kette, die ich sehr sorgsam verwahrt hatte, aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach in einer anderen Casa gestohlen wurde.

Auch ihr Schwiegersohn im Hostal Azul war mir bei meiner Abreise sehr behilflich, man sieht, wie sehr beiden das Wohlbefinden der Gäste am Herzen liegt. Dies äußert sich nicht zuletzt im köstlichen Essen, in einer zuvorkommenden Bedienung und in einem sauberen, einladenden Zimmer - zwei Häuser, die unbedingt weiterzuempfehlen sind und die es verdienen, als "heißer Tip" gehandelt zu werden.
