6/10 Good

This is no longer the casa of Ivette and Ronel. They divorced but still work together. Ronel has a guest house two doors down which is what we thought we were booking based on lonely planet recommendation. The room was spacious and clean, but the overall hospitality and charges for extras were not very good compared to other places we stayed in Cuba. They helped us book a taxi to another town but told us there were no collective taxi options. But we met travelers from another local homestay who had arranged collective taxis to save money, We had lunch at the casa when we got there, but it wasn't that great, so we ate our other lunch and both dinners at other places nearby. Breakfast was good. Laundry was very expensive ($22 for a small load), and the charges were not disclosed up front. Overall, it was a decent room, but I'd recommend somewhere else because the hospitality did not live up to standards we came to expect in Cuba.

The best thing about this property was the concierge, Royd. He spoke perfect English and took care of our every need and answered all of our questions patiently.

Absolutely fantastic!!
Our stay here was amazing. The place has been recently renovated and the room we had was brand new and super clean. The dining and common areas are also very clean and quite fancy for such a small town. The meals we had were excellent and I would highly recommend their in house chef. Ivette was an absolute pleasure to deal with and all the information she gave us around day trips and things to do was excellent. They also helped arrange transport back for us to Havana. The only thing was that the bed was quite small for two people in the newly renovated room we were in but that is only specific to that room and it wasn’t a big deal for us as we were only there for two nights. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you are going to playa Girón. We spent two weeks in Cuba and this was definitely one of the best accomodations we stayed at.

People are great. Dinner is very good. Place worth visiting again. Only downside is poor internet, but thats common in Cuba. Recommend (especially for diving fans).

Clean, well-resourced property with lovey staff
The place is very well-run, with friendly, helpful staff (it's useful to have a 'bit' of Spanish to communicate- unless you chat directly with Ronel or Ivette, who speak pretty good English). Lovely breakfasts and other meals on offer. Plus lots of extras like bikes, snorkels etc to use if you want. And, as Ronel runs the dive school, you can get the dive bus from the front door at 8:30 each morning, direct to the dive school for a days' fun in the water!

Il nome è sbagliato, pare si siano separati. C’è la casa di Ronel è quella di Yvette. Prenotando qua sul sito si va in quella di Yvette. Accoglienza super, mettono in disponibilità il loro Wi-Fi (elemento veramente raro) e ti coccolano durante la giornata. Hanno sia pranzo che cena a prezzo fisso davvero concorrenziale ma soprattutto buono (esempio: granchio reale, aragoste, coccodrillo ecc). Giardino ottimo per il relax. Unica pecca che il posto, come tutti quelli della zona, sono lontani da ogni cosa, la spiaggia non ne vale la pena, e non c’è niente altro nei dintorni.

8/10 Very Good

Der Check-In war etwas stressig, da bei unserer Ankunft Ivette uns im Detail mögliche Aktivitäten für den nächsten Tag erklären wollte, währenddessen führte sie mehrere Telefonate, andere Leute kamen und gingen und Familienmitglieder waren auch zu Besuch. Eine insgesamte unruhige Atmosphäre. Danach war alles viel ruhiger. Die Angestellten waren alle freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es ist eine grosse Anlage, fast hotelmaessig. Essen mal sehr gut, mal nicht so gut. Ausstattung mit Fahrrädern war ein grosser Pluspunkt.
