Some of the best food I had in Cuba. Nice house in a quiet street 5 mins walk from the busy psrt of town. Horse riding can be arranged. We paid 50cuc but I would advise paying 20 cuc (10 each) as that is the price we paid for our second horse ride which was an hour longer. A horse... More

They offer a nice and cosy twin room with clean bathroom, great meals and great company. The only casa in Cuba where I got that homey feeling and felt more like a friend than a tourist.

We stayed here for 4 nights in November 2012. Our room was very nice, comfortable and had a good clean en suite bathroom. Marilyn was there to meet us at the bus station even though we weren't expecting her as we'd said we'd find our own way but she was worried we'd not find her house. Needlessly as it's not... More
