Habana del Este
Los Pinos is a collection of little two- to four-bedroom houses with kitchens and TVs that were holiday homes before the revolution. Some of them have their own private pool. However, while nicely located, they're not what you'd call luxurious, and maintenance and cleanliness issues are common.
There's a small supermarket nearby and an on-site restaurant. El Mégano beach is less than 100m away.
