We stayed for two nights at Barmarine and had a fantastic experience. The host was incredibly nice and helpful—she arranged taxis for us to visit the park, the beach, and even a taxi back to Havana, all at resonable prices. The house is conveniently located near the town center, with plenty of restaurants nearby.
While there were occasional power outages (due to a nation-wide fuel shortage), the house has a generator, which made things much easier and more comfortable.
We’d also like to give special mention to our taxi driver, César, who was introduced by the host. César, a doctor by training, accompanied us during our day trip in Trinidad. He was extremely knowledgeable, spoke almost perfect English, and acted not only as a driver but also as a guide, helping us understand the local history and culture.
We highly recommend Barmarine for anyone visiting the area!
