Puerto de Vita - Provisions & Laundry
Laundry
The marina offers a same day laundry service.
Provisions
Provisioning is complicated (normal in Cuba) but some essentials are available at the marina or in the local village, a short walk away.
Obtaining food in the next town (Sta. Lucia) is possible on a limited scale. Bread was difficult (you need to line up for a single loaf per person).
East along the main road towards the hotel section of Guardalavaca you will find banks with ATMs, internet cards for sale and hire car companies.
Holquin, the nearest big city for supplies, is 15km to the south.

We arrived on Sunday afternoon and checked in Monday morning at Puerto de Vita. Our 44-foot catamaran will cost 33 cups per day including water and electricity.
We are glad to have the electricity so we can close up the cabin and run air conditioning at dawn and dusk. The no see ems are ferocious! The staff is friendly and helpful.
We have met many wonderful people in the village. Check in was easy, docking was smooth, the dock itself is in very good condition. They use a med-moor system. Depth is 10+ feet.
