Yoel is a very helpful, informative, & industrious host who speaks excellent English & seems to strive to continually improve the property & anticipate traveler's needs. Location is OK, away from the tourist area yet only a 10 min. Walk away. The breakfasts were great & the dinners huge so beware. We didn't speak Spanish & the cooks didn't speak English so it was hard for us to work that part out with them. Yoel doesn't live there; he lives own the street. The apartment is large (whole top floor) & balcony nice yet faces the street but back smaller balcony faces the back.

Rosa Maria was a good, helpful and accomodating host. We arrived after dark and she walked with us to an open restaurant so we would not get lost. We enjoyed our conversations with her and were really glad we chose to stay there instead of a hotel. Her home was beautifically kept and steeped in family history. We liked the location which made for a nice walk to the end of Punta Gorda on one side and town on the other. The room was not exceptionally large but it was adequate and it was really nice to have screened windows. We liked Cienfuegos, it was a nice town and a nice change from Havana. We recommend Rosa Maria's and please say we send greetings!
