We drove into Vinales with the help of yet another 'bicycle guide'. They are fit, knowledgeable and charming. There are many bed and breakfasts in Vinales but we felt ours was the best. We did our research and were not disappointed. Our hosts Mignelys and Juanito were lovely. Migneleys spoke excellent English and was one hell of a cook. Simple... More

We were a group of seven and staying with Mignelys and Juanito was the best stay during our journey through Cuba! They were wonderful hosts, and we really felt we were welcome. Mignelys cooking was the best we had in Cuba! One of us was vegetarian, and Mignelys was always available to cook something especially for our friend, which were... More

A spacious clean casa with recently renovated ensuites (hands down the best shower in Cuba) and a lovely roof top area for relaxing. Very convenient location right behind the bus station. Mignelys and Juanito are very friendly and helpful. Their cooking was truly exceptional, and fresh bread in the morning is very rare in Cuba!

I can't recommend this casa highly enough and it's all thanks to the experienced, thoughtful and friendly owners Mignelys and Juanito. Conveniently located, the casa is clean, comfortable, well-run and the showers are amazing - far better than any of the top Cuban hotels we stayed in during our trip. We ate at the casa both nights of our stay... More

I don't know how anyone good give this anything but full marks. The place is immaculate, the food fantastic and the roof-top views gorgeous. Mignelys speaks excellent English and is extremely caring of her visitors. I think the reviewer who suggested she is too interested in the money was most unfair. She made us feel most at home - and... More

The first thing I'd like to say, is that I cannot believe this place does not have a much higher ranking in Vinales. Also, I can only believe the previous reviewer is one of those people who enjoys moaning about stuff and just generally being miserable. We stayed in many casas during our three weeks in Cuba and this place... More

Average accomodation, pushy owner trying to earn as much as she can, we'd look for something else to be ohnest if we'd stay longer (we had one day only). The owner speaks fluent english, the food is fine, the drinks praised in the 'guest book' where delicious but also more expensive than we had anywhere else. Overall- not bad but... More

We stayed at Casa El Balcon for 4 nights and luckily booked in advance as it is one of the most popular casas in Vinales and understandably so. We were warmly welcomed by Mygnellis and Juanito and they went to every effort to make sure we enjoyed our stay. They organised taxis to take us around the local area and... More

We stayed in EL Balcon for one night as we were passing through VInales. The casa is beautifully decorated and was really well lit and welcoming when we arrived in the evening. The place is spotlessly clean, and the shower is superb - which, if you have travelled through Cuba, you will know is something of a luxury!! The beds... More
