We were made to feel most welcome on arrival with cold fresh mango juice. The owner of this hostel speaks great English. There is a generator to cope with the power cuts. A washing line is available. The room is slightly dated but had three beds and a large en-suite. The food was excellent, we ate here in the evening.

Accommodation very spacious and confortable with pleasant terrasse and lovely internal courtyard garden. Quiet. Yaya is charming. Had two very good meals with good wine at a reasonable price, difficult to find in Cuba ! Very interesting chatting to Manolito about their life and discovering his self built tractor. All in all, a very agreeable short stay. I would recommend.

Our room opened onto the central courtyard where there were plenty of shaded seats, a well kept garden and humming birds flitting from flower to flower. Welcome drink on arrival and great breakfasts. Generally excellent but there was no water in the fridge.

Nice little paradise in the central village of Playa Giron. Beach at 10mn by walk and Casa located at the main intersection. Very convenient. All amenities included, cleaned rooms, fair price, very nice ladies around to help with anything :) Nice indoor garden/terrasse. Thanks to Jaja and family to have made our stay enjoyable :)

After being warmly welcomed by the landlady we found the entrance, the courtyard as well as the room clean and well kept. We enjoyed a tasty dinner and breakfast. The place is absolutely recommendable because of the high personal attention of the owner.

On a trip to Cuba, we went to Playa Giron and stayed at El Castilito. We had a very warm welcome and a nice drink to start. The rooms are have a lot of space, the bathroom is very nice, with hot water and soap provided. Rooms and bathrooms are super clean. You have air conditionning and minibar in the room and the price of the drinks are very cheap. But the must is the kitchen... i strongly recommend to have dinner there. It is the best kitchen I had in Cuba. The cook is amazing. I had cuban food and a fantastic crab in garlic and tomato sauce. The whole family and staff are super friendly and helpful.

The rooms at El Castillito are spacious and very clean. We stayed in one of the larger rooms with an enclosed patio. The bathroom was large, spotless and had lots of hot water.There are also rooms that look out on the beautiful enclosed inner garden. Here there are hammocks for relaxing, a freshwater shower for after the beach and many beautiful plants to admire. It is truly a delightful place to spend time relaxing after a busy day. The hostal is centrally located at the main intersection of town so walking anywhere is quite easy. Yaya and Manolito are wonderful hosts. They will help you plan your stay in Playa Giron and Playa Larga and are so helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfasts are delicious and plentiful and if you decide to have dinner at the house you will not be disappointed. This was a quiet and restful stay, one of our favourite stops during a month long visit to Cuba.…

As we arrived in Playa Giron, we were very pleased to enter the castle of Yaya and Manolito. They welcomed us very friendly, explained us everything and even booked a trip for the next day. Then we crossed the beautiful inner yard and entered our room, the next surprise. It was very big and with a lot of light. We feld like princesses indeed. Thank you, Yaya and Manolito!
