Libby, the host could not have been more helpful. She was an absolute star helping us organise trips and transport. Her warm welcome and that of her staff made our trip to Cuba, and in all she simply could not do enough for us. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful. The room perfectly acceptable for the price and the beach at Playa Larga gorgeous. The hostal was perfectly positioned for the beach being only a few meters away ( at a guess, less than 100). Do not expect 5* homogenised luxury. Do expect to meet real people whose warmth and kindness made my stay perfect.

goed verblijf. perfecte douche

2 schone kamers aan een gang, geen direct buitenraam. woonkamer. en een oprit, maar je kan niet buiten zitten. het personeel heeft toegang tot de gang. goed ontbijt met lekker honingbrood ( nergens anders gegeten) en crepes. ze kunnen de was doen en dat doen ze goed. neem repellent mee, veel muggen, ondanks de horren. en check je kamer op binnengeslopen krabben, je zit vlakbij (1 straatje) t strand. goede airco en de beste douche die we tijdens ons verblijf hebben gehad.

Sorprende encontrarte una casa tan bonita y bien decorada en Cuba, con todo lo que uno necesita. Frente a la playa, con una gran terraza y con atenciones personales inmejorables. No se puede decir nada en contra, excepto que es difícil de encontrar porque Expedia no especifica localización exacta. Muchas gracias por todo

Une boite dans la boite. Logement sans vie, aucune plante, même à l'extérieur. Rien à l'intérieur. Le moins bon logement de notre séjour à Cuba. Ils ont juste construit des boites (chambres) dans le rez de la maison. Accueil froid de la propriétaire et personne lors de notre départ. Bref, il y a d'autre casa particular à Playa Larga...
