Don't expect to find large supermarkets!
Most hotels have a small shop where you can find basic items like biscuits, crisps etc. The selection is often limited and the prices are usually higher, but it can be handy if you need it.
For those staying in casas, it is possible to take advantage of the public markets (on Saturdays in Varadero and on Sundays in Santa Marta – check out our specific articles on this on our website). They can also stock up at convenience stores or grocery stores. However, it is important to note that the offer can be limited in Varadero (especially in September 2019), so it is best to be flexible with recipes and cook with what you can find!
Here is a list of convenience stores and grocery stores (from the bridge entrance in Varadero to Calle 64):
There is also a grocery store at the tip of the peninsula, near the Melia Marina Varadero hotel which also offers rooms without the all-inclusive formula.
