Quiet beachfront casa in the middle of nowhere. Mostly European tourists in town on various short group stays. Our hosts were extremely attentive and provided great service. The little restaurant next door provided decent Cuban cuisine… albeit at prices above Cuban average and billed in Euros rather than CUP, but it is to be expected with beach visitors. One upside is that we were able to settle our restaurant and bar bill by IBAN transfer at the end of the week, which was very convenient and rare for Cuba— a definite plus. There are plenty of places within walking distance in town if you’re looking for standard fare. Very clean room, and with great air conditioning and hot water. Pack good bug spray, as the Cienaga de Zapata invites lots of little biting things at dawn and dusk. We experienced regular power outages, so make sure you have extra batteries; this should be expected everywhere in Cuba. While there were two beds provided, both were small. North Americans travelling as a couple may find it unusual to sleep apart and uncomfortable to sleep together. Our hosts arranged outings and taxis for us in the area to see local birds. Friendly beach dogs were never far away.
