We stayed at the Villa La Roca in April 2013 during a one month trip around Cuba on our bikes. Daniel and Marcia, the owners are incredible! The place is super clean and the food is very tasty as well as the most comfortable bed in Cuba. We were welcomed with open arms and made part of the family. They... More

Villa La Roca has changed names. Now it is called Villa DAYI, which is painted on the wall from the outside. Didn´t get this information from hostelbookers along with the booking, but if you take the address with you, taxi drivers will take you to the right place. Do not pay more than 3 CUC no matter how grumpy they... More

Excellent casa in Holguin. Owners Daniel and Marcia are great and very helpful with planing activities, arranging transport or recomending other casa. Some of the best food I've had in Cuba was cooked by Marcia and her mother. A little bit away from the center of town but well worth it. Like Daniel says: It's all about the charisma!!

La Roca is a very clean and homey casa with a lovely hammock and outdoor shower. Although it is not located in the city center, Holguin is not too large of a city for this to be an issue, and it's a cheap horse-taxi ride away. What really makes this casa though are Dani and Marcia. They are extremely resourceful,... More

We stayed at Villa La Roca half way through our trip, before going to Guardalavaca for a couple of nights, on the recommendation of trip advisor. The casa has been done out nicely with a new ensuite bathroom and sun loungers and a hammock on the private terrace. It's a really relaxing place to stay. Daniel and his wife Marcia... More

The people are really nice and friendly. The house is also confortable and clean but unfortunately the location is really bad. It is not only very far from the city center, but is is also a very dangerous place, there were several street fights just few meters away from the house. We commented our experiences to some friends in Holguin... More

we had great communication with Daniel before we arrived, he was really welcoming when we got there, could have arranged anything we wanted or needed and he and Marcia were fabulous company over dinner - on a beautiful courtyard, with cuban music and learning a lot about cuba and changes over the years - things we knew about from books...

Daniel and his wife Marcia, are great hosts. The casa is very clean, and a very relaxing environment. The meals they provided were very fresh and excellent in taste; and even set the tone by providing music while we dined. Daniel speaks very good english, and has a great sense of humour, and Marcia is very friendly and approachable. They... More

I have stayed at the "ROCA" several times and each time it gets better than the last. Dany and his extended family are wonderful hosts and the rooms are kept in immacaulate condition...so clean I swear you could eat off the floor. Now talking of eating....you would be hard pressed to find better tasting food anywhere in Cuba. Each morning... More
