Séjour très agréable chez Iraida, très proche de la plage, chambre très propre, bon repas surtout prendre le crabe c'est excellent ! Ne pas hésiter à demander des vélos pour se déplacer plus facilement, juste petite déception de ne pas avoir plus partagé avec l'habitante pour ceux qui cherchent l’échange sachez que cet hébergement fait plus hôtel. Mais à part ça vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermé!

It was really nice to stay at Yaya's place. Nice room with AC. No problem with communication.

Yaya is a friendly host, with a nice little castle in the small village of Playa Giron. The rooms are nice and spacious with a calm inner courtyard to relax in.

Iraida has a beautiful casa that looks like the pictures. The room was clean and decently outfitted with amenities, although a bit dark. The beds were comfortable, and there was hot water! The 5CUC breakfast is very basic, but the dinner is amazing, especially the grilled fish! Iraida was easy to communicate with and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place!

I would defenitely go back to this casa! Iraida is very friendly and speaks perfect English, the rooms are clean and equiped with airco, and the food is excellent too! We ate the best Lobster and Crab of Cuba (and even better than in Belgian restaurants), for a very good price.
Many greetings from Belgium!

I loved staying at El Castillito, its an amazing place in little Playa Girón! Yaya is a lovely person and helps whenever help is needed. She organised an amazing excursion for us and a taxi to go to Cienfuegos. The room was really nice and clean and the breakfast on the lovely inner courtyard was great! Muchas gracias otra vez!

Obwohl wir in Playa Giron nur eine Nacht geblieben sind, war das einer der besten Unterkünfte unserer ganzen Reise. Der erste Eindruck war einfach wow. Die Zimmer sind sehr gepflegt und modern und die Betten sehr bequem. Wir haben dort zu Abend gegessen und wir wurden mit den leckersten und frischen Fischgerichten verwöhnt. Yaya ist eine sehr organisierte und hilfsbereite Person. Sie hat für uns Unterkünfte in Varadero und Playa del Este (Havanna) organisiert und es hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Hier würden wir auf jeden Fall wieder kommen und auch länger bleiben. Herzlichen Dank.
