I have never written a review of any hotel or B&B in the past but felt compelled to write about our excellent 3 day stay at Casa Colonial Mercedes during April 2012. To be honest it really was the ultimate highlight of our wonderful holiday in Cuba. Vinales is a beautiful peaceful area with stunning scenery, but what made it... More

We have been travelling in Cuba for 18 days and stayed in 9 different Casas. Casa Mercedes was one of the best casas we stayed in and Mercedes herself was definitely the loveliest and nicest host we had in Cuba.

I was referred to Casa Mercedes by a friend who had stayed there a few years ago. It was as wonderful as I heard - both cozy and clean. The house was a single story bungalow with very high ceilings and was divided into family and guests areas by the kitchen which was a perfect arrangement; we had our meals... More
