The house where we were staying in La Habana, recommended us this town and Mayito´s house. We phoned them asking for availability, and apparently they were fully booked (2 rooms) but offered us to go directly to their home and they would help us to find another place. So we did... we arrived early in the morning, and they stop... More

We had an excellent time with Mayito and Noraya - they were incredibly kind and helpful. They found a brilliant guide to take us bird-watching - Eduardo - as well as transport to take us round. They were so friendly we felt really at home. Plus the food was delicious - local fish caught by Mayo and lots of great... More

They organized great activities for us. We ended-up spending a... More

Hello there! Thank you kindly for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We appreciate this. We enjoyed having you over and hope we see you soon again in the near future. By the way, Celine I think you had a little problem in your ear or little accident when you went diving. How are you feeling now... More

We planed to stay for two nights but ended up staying for four because we didn't want to leave. Mayito and his family treated us like old friends from the minute we arrived. The room was very comfortable, and the balcony has a lovely view of the bay. It was also by far the best food we had in our... More

I and my two daughters spent 10 nights at this very great hostal. We felt like REAL guests, in every single way. Noraita and Mayito took us crab hunting, and spent hours teaching us their cooking secrets. THis place is fantastic if food is important to you: Noraita will cook langoustinas, fresh fish, anything that you may request. All fresh... More

This area of Cuba is a must see. You really get to see the real Cuba in a villa type area. If you fancy privacy, a bit of a quieter atmosphere than hotels, then Mayito's house is a must for you. First of all, it's so clean and are they ever a hospitable family. The rooms that are on the... More

In our first few days in Havanna we´ve got the recommendation of Mayito´s place and because we wanted to go diving, we said why not. It just took us 2h by bus to get to Playa Larga and my first impression of the town was a little sceptical. It a small town at the bay, nearly no cars, bycicles and... More
