La_Tigre Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I’m gonna go ahead and say Hotel Nacional isn’t quite what I’d say an Airbnb/Expedia Support for the Cuban People exchange should be...Prepare to pay up...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LegLance Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I booked my last 3 or 4 trips in casa particulars through AirBnB.... so much easier on my end vs the older bedsincuba and such site. However I heard from a few locals that getting the money for them was harder. So I guess I am ok with going back to the old system and handing over money directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The ones I've booked always provided their direct contact info in the event I wanted to stay there again. Saves us both a CUC or two.... And once the site is prohibited from booking in Cuba I'll have a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
