Hostal Luis

Top choice in Playa Girón


The second house on the road to Cienfuegos is Playa Girón's premier casa, and arguably one of Cuba's best. Set back from the road with two stone lions guarding the gate, Luis and his wife offer eight spotless rooms meticulously cleaned daily and adorned with fresh flowers. Breakfast is a feast and super-professional staff can help organize local activities.

Rooms are spread between the main house and a newer building nearby offering three suites. All are spacious with outdoor porches and large well-stocked fridges. One of them has a kitchen.
