El Retiro Varadero: Josone Park, Menu and Transport Checks

Verified July 18, 2026.

Published location and telephone

Palmares lists El Retiro on Avenida Primera between streets 56 and 58 and publishes the telephone +53 45 667316. These details help with the taxi or a call from your hotel, but they do not guarantee daily operation.

Questions to ask

• Is El Retiro open today and for which meal service?
• Which entrance to Josone Park should be used?
• Which dishes and beverages are available?
• What currency is used and is cash required?
• Is a reservation necessary?
• Is the route suitable for limited mobility?
• How will you return to the hotel?

Best way to include El Retiro

Combine it with a short walk in Josone Park and keep a second restaurant nearby as a backup. The restaurant is more useful for travellers already visiting downtown than for guests planning a costly taxi solely for the meal.

Menu, cash and family planning

Old photographs may help identify the place but do not confirm current prices. Ask for the menu available that day, included sides, allergens and the final total. Carry small cash denominations and reserve separate money for the taxi. Families should bring water, a snack, sun protection and mosquito repellent.

Transportation

Save the restaurant, park entrance and hotel address offline. Confirm the taxi fare and currency before leaving. Read the Cuba transportation guide.
