Para sempre ... Além do horizonte.

We recently spent four nights at Zoraida Mercedes' casa in Playa Larga and felt genuinely cared for as soon as we arrived. Zoraida and her family were incredibly welcoming—genuinely kind and always happy to help. It was clear that nothing was ever too much trouble.

Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious, and we opted to enjoy evening meals at the casa as well—home-cooked with love and full of local flavour. Zoraida also helped us organise a fantastic day tour, which included a guided walk along the Enigma de la Roca trail. We explored four unique cenotes, encountered crocodiles, turtles, swallows, ancient fish, and even spotted endemic birds like the Tocororo and Cuban Tody. The day also took us to the Bay of Pigs Museum for a refreshing snorkel at Cueva de los Peces and the Bay of Pigs Reef, which is rich with marine life.

The rest of our time was spent slowing down: enjoying the peace and rhythm of village life, swimming in the clear, warm Caribbean Sea, and simply relaxing at the casa. While Playa Larga experienced daily blackouts, Zoraida's home was well-equipped with solar panels and an EcoFlow battery, providing consistent power for essentials. We also appreciated the good internet.

We wholeheartedly recommend staying here if you're looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway that supports a kind local family and lets you connect deeply with Cuba's landscapes and culture.

Zoraida Mercedes era una familia muy agradable, servicial, comprometida y complaciente. A petición, preparaban deliciosos desayunos y cenas. Las habitaciones estaban limpias y funcionales, tenían aire acondicionado y taquillas con llave. Estaba a 2 minutos a pie de la playa (con guijarros). Había muchas oportunidades para realizar interesantes excursiones por los alrededores; granja de cocodrilos, muchas playas bonitas, arrecifes de coral. Nos encantaría volver a alojarnos con ellos.
