“Buena opción”

He estado recientemente en Cuba, país maravilloso y con una gente insuperable. Viajé con una amiga y estuvimos alojadas en el Hostal Buen Viaje, aunque fue solo para una noche puedo asegurar que estuvimos de maravilla, la atención de Naty y Lester una gozada, las instalaciones muy limpias y un patio que invita a disfrutarlo. Total, que quien viaje a Cuba y pueda pasar por Remedios le recomiendo este alojamiento. Muchas gracias por hacernos sentir como en casa.

“Casa colonial con inmejorable ambiente”

Estuve en Remedios en casa de Lester y Naty. Aunque corta mi instancia el lugar me encantó. La casa colonial, con patio interior, techos altos y un ambiente relajado invita a quedarse por mucho tiempo. Los dueños del alojamiento muy agradables, cultos y te ayudan en todo lo que sea necesario. También quedarse a comer resulta una muy buena opción. Lo recomiendo 100%.

“Non per niente si sono aggiudicati il primo posto nella nostra personale classifica”

Siamo tornate da Cuba lunedì scorso. L'intenzione era quella di soggiornare a Remedios solo un paio di giorni e invece ne abbiamo aggiunti altri due per diversi motivi. Confermo tutto quello che è scritto in tutti gli altri commenti ma vorrei soffermarmi parlando dei padroni di casa. Naty e Lester sono due persone meravigliose e una coppia stupenda basata su solidi valori. Sono molto colti e anche se la loro condizione sembra essere più agiata rispetto ad altri abbiamo avuto modo di capire che tutto ciò che hanno è stato possibile grazie al fatto che sono grandissimi lavoratori attenti ad ogni esigenza e sempre pronti a progredire senza esserne mai stanchi. Disponibili,umili,semplici,simpatici,grandi cuochi e molto molto puliti!Naty adora Tiziano Ferro e se volete farle un grande regalo portatele un suo cd ... ne sarà felicissima!Mi piacerebbe incontrarli una seconda volta.

“fabuloso primera experiencia en una casa”

Nos alojamos en esta casa por una noche como parte de un tour en bicicleta en Cuba central. Era nuestra primera vez en casa y fue una experiencia memorable. Nos costó un poco de tiempo para encontrar la casa, pero una vez que estábamos en la calle correcta está muy bien señalizado y es fácil de encontrar. La casa está situada en una herencia preciosa casa y Lester y Naty son unos anfitriones maravillosos. ambos hablan inglés muy bien y disfrutamos mucho nuestras conversaciones con ellos. tienen un muy bonito jardín donde pudimos sentarse y relajarse. La habitación era sencilla pero muy limpia. Lester explicó sus planes para añadir una fuente para el jardín y están construyendo otro apartamento pequeño como un alquiler futura. Cenamos y desayunamos en la casa y las comidas eran excelentes - mucha comida y muy bien preparado y presentado (nuestra primera muestra de "pescado Lisa). Por la mañana nos fuimos, fue pouring rain, pero Lester tomó el tiempo de viaje con nosotros a través de la ciudad para asegurarse de que estábamos en la ruta a Sancti Spiritus - ¡qué servicio!

“A must...”

What a great time we had at Lester & Naty charming Casa... As usual we lost ourselves at the arrival, but Lester had the instinct to come by and find us (we were driven backwards in the wrong street!). He help us out with the warmest smile we've seen in Cuba! He also is, without any doubt, the best cook ever (his Caldo de Langosta was simply divine) and both Naty and Lester are truly passionated people about their region history and culture. And no wonder why... since Remedios - “cuna” of the vibrant and majestic “Parranda” - is such a lovely place! Visiting the church and his gorgeous altar, we had the chance to meet the most beloved “ciudadano ilustre”(92 yo) of Remedios, who generously shared with us the five Pillars for a successful marriage in front of a pregnant version of the Virgin Mary Statue!

As usual, we forgot our wallet when leaving... but, as if there were family, Lester & Naty managed to reach the Hotel where we were heading and kept our little fortune perfectly safe !!

“Hostal Buen Viaje, Remedios Cuba”

Siamo stati a Remedios ben 5 notti, l'ideale per andare al mare a Cayo Santa Maria senza dover stare in un resort....ottima base anche per una visita a Santa Clara....Ma quello che è più importante è che il Buen Viaje è rimasto nei nostri cuori come la migliore residenza a Cuba. La casa coloniale è molto bella con un bel patio, le camere sono pulitissime e molto ampie....e, sopratuttto, Lester e Naty, i padroni di casa, sono due persone eccezionali, amabilissime, gentilissime, molto attente e soprattutto due gran cuochi...dall'aragosta, fino alle chele di granchio.....!

“Une excellente adresse”

Remedios est une base idéale pour visiter les cayos. La maison de Lester et Naty est située en plein centre de cette jolie petite ville coloniale. Ce couple très sympathique possède une maison coloniale à la façade bleue et au beau jardin, parfaitement restaurée. Il vous accueille chaleureusement avec tact et amabilité sans pour autant se montrer envahissant. La chambre est spatieuse en parfait état et d'une propreté impeccable, la cuisine est délicieuse... et bien trop copieuse!Lester et Naty sauront également vous prodiguer leurs conseils pour visiter les environs et profiter des meilleures plages. Une excellente adresse.

“La migliore casa particular di Cuba”

L'Hostal Buen Viaje è stata senza dubbio la migliore casa particular nella quale abbiamo soggiornato durante il nostro viaggio a Cuba. Lester e Naty sono due padroni di casa gentilissimi e disponibili e, cosa che non guasta, grandi cuochi. La loro casa, pulitissima, dispone di due belle camere e di un patio interno, e si trova a due passi dalla piazza centrale di Remedios.

In 30/40 minuti di macchina si raggiungono facilmente i Cayos del Norte e, nella direzione opposta, Santa Clara con il Mausoleo del Che.

Da consigliare ad occhi chiusi.

“Demasiado poco para tan maravilloso”

Sin duda es una de las casas más bonitas que debe de haber en Cuba. Al menos, de las que yo he podido conocer. Está decorada con muy buen gusto, el trato de Lester y Naty es magnífico, las comidas, todas sus recomendaciones........ En fin, sólo pudimos estar allí un día y nos quedamos con muchas ganas de que fueran más. Nos sentimos como en casa y nos encantaría repetir. Ojalá pueda ser pronto para poder compartir más momentos con esta familia tan encantadora. Muchas gracias por todo. Mucha suerte con vuestro proyecto.

Os queremos!!!

“La mejor casa de Cuba”

Pasamos unos días increíbles en la casa de Lester y Naty. Descansamos y nos sentimos muy cómodos. Se las recomiendo a todos. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, los baños limpios y la casa tiene un patio excelente. El pueblo es muy lindo y está cerca de los cayos. Si van a remedios quédense en el hostal Buen Viaje.

“Ottimo in tutti i sensi da provare”

Abbiamo soggiornato a Remedios all'Hostal Buen Viaje per 4 notti per poi, da qui, andare al mare ed evitare la classica vita da villaggio. A saperlo prima ci restavamo più tempo. La loro ospitalità è eccellente sono 2 persone davvero squisite che fanno di tutto per metterci a nostro agio. La casa è molto bella con un cortile interno dove poter gustare l'ottimo mojito di Lester. Le camere sono spaziose e molto pulite (fanno le pulizie giornalmente) per non parlare dell' ottima ed abbondante cucina. Remedios inoltre se pur piccola è molto carina ed accogliente, in poco tempo abbiamo fatto amicizia con diverse persone dal barista, al fotografo, al taxista che ci hanno offerto la loro ospitalità e che ci hanno fatto vivere come a casa nostra.

Raccomandiamo vivamente l'Hotal Buen Viaje e siamo a disposizione per informazioni.

“Accogliente Hostal, Ottima attenzione per una vacanza perfetta.”

Ci siamo arrivati per caso, su indicazione della gente del posto. Un caso veramente fellice. Abbiamo incontrato un'ottima quanto gentile accoglienza, cortesia e massima disponibilità dei gestori. E' un Hostal tratto da una casa coloniale, ampia e confortevole, ben sistemata ed arredata. Ha due particilarità che ci hanno veramente impressionato, la pulizia e la qualità (oltre alla quantità) della cucina. Lo raccomandiamo vivamente.

“Ottima casa particular, pulitissima, accogliente, gentilissimi e cibo ottimo”

Ottima sotto ogni punto di vista: puilizia eccezionale: nel wc non c'era la tavoletta ma era talmente pulito che non ci facevi caso; ci hanno omaggiato di un sigaro all'arrivo; gentilezza e cordialità ai massimi livelli; colazione in giardino e cena in casa abbondanti (la cena non si riesce a finire!!!) e di ottima qualità; centralissima ma molto silenziosa; proprietari gentili e ospitalissimi.

Parcheggio a pagamento li vicino tramite il proprietario.

Abbiamo fatto solo una notte ma saremmo rimasti anche un mese a costo di ingrassare a dismisura!

“Nunca olvidaré el Hostal Buenviaje”

Un amigo español me pasó una tarjeta recomendándome este sitio. Nos escribimos y después de una muy rápida respuesta, reservé dos días en el Hostal Buen Viaje. Una fortuna nuestra elección. Increíble, pero llegamos y nuestra habitación estaba allí esperándonos, lo cual no es muy común en Cuba. O sea hay lugares donde llegas y aunque este reservado, te encuentras con q tu habitación está ocupada y no sucede nada, te transportan a otra casa y ya está.

Lester y Naty, geniales. Una casa preciosa, la atención excelente, las cenas sin palabras para definirlas, siempre diferentes y muy bien puestas y sobre todo muy buena presentación.

Una familia muy acogedora y muy agradable. Las habitaciones con todo lo necesario. Sin dudas volveremos. Gracias Lester y Naty por todas las atenciones, las explicaciones y por toda su ayuda. La verdad nos hicieron sentir en familia.

Reservé a través de Internet dos días en el Hostal Buen Viaje, y a pesar de no llamar nuevamente como estuvo sugerido por Lester, nuestra habitación estaba separada y en óptimas condiciones. Lester y Naty son excelentes personas, desde el inicio hasta el final fueron geniales.

Es una casa amplia, cómoda, donde reina la higiene y una atención esmerada. Se dispone de espacios para refrescar, leer, prender sol y admirar la naturaleza. Las comidas muy bien elaboradas y con gran diversidad. Se respira un ambiente de paz y gran gentileza. Todo funciona a la perfección.

Estamos seguros que volvemos en breve tiempo.

“The Best Place to Stay in Remedios”

We had read a few reviews about the place, that is why we decided to book our stay in Buen Viaje Hostel. Our stay was fantastic. Since our arrival we had a good feeling about this wonderful place. The perfect chemistry!

Lester and Naty are the perfect hosts. They both speak English, which is not the norm in Cuba when you stay with a family.

This place went beyond our expectations. It has spacious rooms, excellent cleanliness, beautiful interior patio with lots of vegetation and the food is delicious and very presentable.

This was greatest place in our trip around Cuba. I recommend it without hesitation.

“Refresh Memories – Remedios Cuba – Fabulous place , central location, easy accessible. Organic food/fabulous taste. Ext”

The simple but elegant decoration style of this home in Remedios makes the perfect touches at this Central located Hostel in the Colonial city of San Juan de los Remedios, Cuba.

Offers fine dining choices that represent the diverse cuisine of its city, while the atmosphere of Lester and Naty evokes a true Cuban family Cuisine.

Main attraction is the colonial Grand Church "Iglesia Mayor" San Juan Bautista containing 13 beautifully decorated gold altars, very close to the hostel.

Conveniently located within walking distance to shops and restaurants, but you don’t need to go outside to fill at home, they offer a great warm atmosphere, inviting to stay over.

We highly recommended this placed

“24 horas en la mejor casa que estuvimos en cuba”

Cuando se nos echaban encima los últimos días en cuba decidimos alojarnos en Remedios para visitar Cayo Santa María y nos recomendaron esta casa. Nos bastaron dos minutos para darnos cuenta que era la mejor estancia que íbamos a tener en Cuba y eso que las demás casas habían estado bien.

Es una casa colonial muy amplia y bien decorada, con un patio bastante grande donde pasábamos buenos ratos. Pero si hay algo que destacar es el recibimiento y atendimiento de Lester y Naty que nos trataron genial en la breve estancia que estuvimos en remedios lástima que nos quedaban pocos días.

Parque Central
Visited Cuba many times, but this the first time in Remedios and I need to come back to this sweet family. Naty&Lester make you feel like home. They serve very good food, room is perfect, very spacy. They make sure you feel happy in their home and are willing to give you tips where to go and how to get there. Remedios is a quiet but beatifull village. Close to nice beaches and absolutely a place to relax. Loved this place, but even more these people!

“Cuban Vacation”

My two friends and I stayed at Naty & Lester's beautifull old house in central Remedios.
The warm, friendly and professional hospitality is amazing.
The food, dinner and breakfast and the house itself is exeptional.
I would not hesitate for a moment to recomend Naty and Lester's Casa Particular to anybody traveling to Remedios.

“Make you feel like family”

Playa en Cayo Las Brujas
This is our second trip to Remedios and our second stay with Naty and Lester. We just had to come back after our first visit last year. They made us feel so at home that it made us feel as though we were coming home again. The food is unbelievable and the home is so peaceful and relaxing. Remedios is a beautiful, historical and humble town with wonderful kind people. Naty and Lester represent the best of Remedios. A new treasure in this home was unveiled when I received an UNBELIEVABLE massage from a masseuse who came to the hostel - his name is Osmany. He is truly incredible. Another treat in our visits has been our son's scuba diving experiences at Cayo de las Brujas - a mere one hour car drive to a beautiful secluded beach for those who do not dive and great diving for divers - ask for "Poncho" the dive master and he will even do a beautifully done dive video of you with cuban music dubbed. It is a truly relaxing Cuban experience here!

“Great Hosts Lester and Naty”

Lester & Naty did not only provide us with fantastic accommodation and great food, but also with the help and advice to make our trip to Remedois and this part of Cuba a very pleasurable one that will last long in the memory.
From the first mijito to, arranging a ride with friends in an old Chevy to the beach on the nearby islands, to cigars sheared after dinner and another arranged ride back to Havana for the same price as the bus.
All this and I haven't even touched on the actually accommodation,which is by the way very comfortable, but not what I remember about this place, but more the friendship you feel from Lester and his wife Naty.
Great place to stay

“Lester and Naty are just the best hosts”

Our room
Lester and Naty were wonderful and friendly hosts. Our room was extremely large and two double beds and a private bathroom. We just adored Remedios and were so sad we only had one night there. Our hosts organised a friend to take us by car to the nearby sugar factory and museum which was fascinating and to on to Caibarien. We were the only guests that night, although there are two rooms, but the advantage of this was that we had more time to talk with Naty and Lester on their comfortable terrace and gained an interesting insight into Cuban life. We had our meals at the Casa and they were fantastic with huge portions and really well prepared and cooked. (Choose Lester’s Fish if you stay!)

A highly recommended and comfortable Casa

“A jewel in cuba”

Remedios is the true charming Cuba we were looking for, at last.
And meeting Lester & Naty, owners of the Hostal Buen Viaje was a surprise in the surprise.
Their Hostal (two rooms) has been renewed with great taste.
Lester & Naty are very charming and at your disposal (even the sun ombrella, if requested), although not intrusive at all.
The food is exquisite and one step beyond everything else we ate.
Highly advisable for a holiday focused on relax

Lester and Naty are wonderful hosts who delight you with their genuinely warm welcome.Their casa is a place of quiet peace and relaxation.The food,which they serve with such attention to detail, is simply delicious.
Lester goes out of his way to make sure that all your needs are met and then some.
We stayed in five different casas particulares and this one was the best.

“Lester and Naty made my trip to Cuba a fantastic experience”

The front entrance
I can't overstress how happy I am that I lucked into reserving at Buen Viaje for my first night in Cuba. Not only was it a nice Casa, Lester and Naty made me feel truly welcome in their family home. They are working hard to grow their business, and have big plans in the works for the gardens and another room.

When Lester found out I had no specific plans for where to stay, he gave me excellent suggestions and then booked me into a fantastic series of casas for the rest of the trip. All of his suggestions were excellent, and the people I met through Lester's introductions were all uniformly inspiring and hospitable.

The back courtyard
In retrospect, I wish I'd spent more time in Remedios. It's a beautiful little town, with many interesting landscapes nearby. If you're thinking of visiting Planet Cuba, Hostal Buen Viaje is an excellent place to get oriented, and Lester and Naty (and family) are the most gracious of hosts.

“A truly charming place to stay--fantastic hosts & atmosphere!”

If you want a mellow place to chill, and to stay with some truly gracious and wonderful hosts, then Remedios is the place and Buen Viaje is the Casa. Naty and Lester are truly lovely people who go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Both of them are excellent chefs and eating their breakfasts and dinners were some of the finest meals we had during our three weeks in Cuba. Lester and Naty are both from the area and have a great perspective on local history and culture, not to mention a fabulous sense of humour! We'll forever remember our stay at Buen Viaje and feel that we have some life-long friends in Lester and Naty.

“Un lugar estupendo con unos dueños extraordinarios”

Me alojé en este hotel con mi mujer y mi madre en diciembre de 2010, por un breve periodo de tiempo, que nos hubiera encantado prolongar. Nada más llegar, Lester y Naty nos acogieron calurosamente y nos hicieron sentir muy a gusto de inmediato. El hotel, estupendamente ubicado y muy céntrico, es una antigua casona rehabilitada, con unos altísimos techos de madera y un aire colonial, muy relajante y agradable. Las habitaciones, sencillas pero confortables, con baño y nevera independientes, estaban limpísimas. La comida era excelente, muy fresca y abundante. La ciudad de Remedios, por su parte, tiene mucho encanto y está llena de atractivos rincones. Pero sin duda lo que conservaremos, por encima de todo, es el recuerdo de la calidad humana de Lester y Naty, excepcionales personas, conocedoras de la zona y su historia y siempre atentos a los intereses y necesidades de sus huéspedes.

“fantastic Casa with great customer service and fabulous food”

My fiancee and I chose to visit Remedios for the Las Parrandas festival. Normally for 51 weeks of the year Remedios is a sleep little town but for 1 week it comes alive with fireworks, music and thousands of people form all over cuba. However there are other attractions to make Remedios a worthwhile stop on your trip in Cuba. It is a short cab ride away from Santa Clara where you can visit the Che memorial and a cigar factory, you can also visit Cayo Santa Maria with its beautiful beaches and great diving but best of all you can stay with Lester and Naty in their wonderful Casa. Lester and Naty are wonderful hosts looking after your every need, making sure you are comfortable and relaxed, fed at every meal to bursting point with wonderfully cooked food and nothing is ever too much for them. There is nice secluded garden to relax in and Lester is always thinking about ways to improve your stay and the casa. He really knows what customer service is all about which is very refreshing in a country which is severly lacking it. We met some fantastic people during our time in Remedios and would highly recommend that you stay at Hostal Buen Viaje.

“simply the bast casa in Cuba”

My husband and I went to Remedious on 23rd December There is an amazing festival at that time which has to be seen and experienced to be believed .Because of the festival it was peak time in Remedious with thousands partying for 3 days. I was recovering from a bout of food poisoning and very anxious about the food. I need not have worried Lester and Nathy are are brilliant The first evening we arrived we had the nicest soup I have ever tasted It included some cabbage which normally I hate but the flavour was soo good it still make me hungry to think of it and that was the beginning of 4 days of great food well cooked and presented and hospitality second to none. We were made feel so welcome .Lester and Nathy could not do enough to help us When we said what we wanted to see in the area he organized day trips at very good rates saving us a lot of money (he looked for other people to share taxi's etc to our destination ) He organized a roof terrace overlooking the square to enable us view the absolutely amazing fireworks.He give us advice again and again on being careful of pickpockets etc who were attracted to Remedious because of the crowds the rest of the year Remedious is just a pretty town with a lovely square and friendly atmosphere Nothing was too much trouble I gained a great insight to Cuba from our long chats I am also very interested in food and cookery and found Lester to have a similar passion One of the other guests was ill with a fever when we were there Both Lester and Nathy were so concerned giving any medicine they had available, making hot drinks special meals soup etc I was very impressed to the passion they have for food and the attention which they give their guests The room was basic but comfortable and spotless The house stands out from it's neighbours in how well it is maintained It has a lovely secluded garden where some of the fruit and vegetable which were presented to us are grown

“Team Cuba Loves you Lester & Naty!”

My friend, her little girl (4.5yrs old) We travelled to Remedios for the Las Parrandas festival during christmas. Lester & Naty were so incredibly kind to us. Their knowledge of the town and surrounding areas was great, they organised tours for us and even made sure we got to Havana safe and sound to make our early flight.

The festival was a truly amazing experience and we were looked after so well. The food was spectacular, the best in cuba especially for this vegetarian! I wish we had longer to stay in Remedios, Lester, Naty and their friends will stay in our hearts forever.

“Excellent - Highly recommended”

Stayed 3 nights - should have been more. Lester and Natty are the perfect hosts. Speak excellent English and are fascinating people to talk to. The house is charming, the garden is peaceful and the rocking chairs on the terrace are a wonderful place to relax after a days sightseeing. Remedios is well worth a visit and with a hire car access to the magnificent beaches at Cayo Santa Maria is very easy.The enormous dinners were always excellent and Lester makes a wicked Mojito. Our room had a small well stocked fridge which as a real positive feature when its hot. Highly recommended.

“super friendly hosts, very concerned about their guests' comfort, really recommendable”

Our stay at the Hostal Buen Viaje was really pleasant - they received us super friendly, even with a welcome Mojito cocktail (which was one of the best I've tried in Cuba)! The food they offer in the evening was good aswell and so much that hardly anyone could finish it! The rooms were nice and also the location is really well, considering that it is really close to the central square but far away so that you can sleep even if there's a party going on there...
