Our stay in Vinales was incredible and we owe it all to Elier (Eli) and his family. They were welcoming, gracious, attentive, and beyond helpful. His restaurant and activity recommendations were spot on. Eli exchanged USD for CUP at a reasonable rate, helped us to rent a motorcycle for a day, provided transportation a few times, and helped us to arrange tours/transportation.
The property was clean, safe, and conveniently located. Breakfast was good and the portions were generous. Wifi was strong and there was a generator, which helped with the inevitable blackouts experienced while traveling through Cuba.
Vinales is beautiful, but I don't think we would have enjoyed it nearly as much as we did if it hadn't been for Eli taking care of/arranging so many things for us. We were so grateful for his hospitality. We spent 2 weeks in Cuba - the 3 nights we spent in Vinales were the highlight of our trip thanks to Eli.
