Hotels

Moderate -- The two hotels in this category do a brisk business with tour groups. It is basically essential that you have a reservation in advance.

Inexpensive -- There is a host of casas particulares in Viñales, which for some reason call themselves villas here. Most are on either the main street through town or on the street 1 block southeast and parallel to it. All charge between CUC$8 and CUC$15 per person and usually offer reasonably priced meal options. I recommend Casa Oscar Jaime Rodríguez, Adela Azcuy 43 (tel. 8/79-3381); El Pelotero, Calle Adela Azcuy 29 (tel. 8/79-3366); or El Relojera, on the road to the Hotel La Ermita (tel. 8/79-3375; eliosuares1960@yahoo.es).
