How was the food the offer?: Each night the food was well cooked and plentiful, as was the breakfast

Casa Esther
Esther and Joaquim provided us with a friendly, family atmosphere and very comfortable accommodation - a large room, good bathroom, and front porch to sit on. More (great) food than we could eat. And a great location, one street back from the main road in Vinales. Thanks too to Francisco and Ani at Casa Villa Crystal opposite for all their help in excellent English. We would recommend it to anybody.

Casa Esther
Casa Esther is a great place to stay. Two big beds in a very well-air conditioned room with private bath and your own closet. Esther cooks copious amounts of good Cuban food, including wonderful, fresh-squeezed juices and a variety of entrees. Lovely porch to watch the horse-drawn carts and neighbors go by. Esther and Joaquin Sr. are very nice and attentive, and their son Joaquin Jr. can help with English. I definitely recommend this casa particular. S. Rodriguez of Key West, Florida, USA

Casa Esther
Casa Esther is a lovely Casa Particulares.
Esther and Joaquin Snr are very amiable hosts who do what they can to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. Language was not a hurdle and we tended to just have to say 'bueno' and muchas gracias' as everything was wonderful. Their son Joaquin Jnr is available to translate to English, as well as their neighbour. The room itself is big with a private bathroom and by Cuban standards a good shower. Esther is a master cook and by the end of your stay, you will be converted to Cuban food! There was nothing nicer than sitting on the veranda reading, every now and again greeting passersby and watching the world go by. Esther can recommend local attractions, one of the highlights being a horse ride through the Mojootes and farmlands. We most definitely can recommend Casa Esther and hope you enjoy your stay in Cuba!
