Kind, Clean and affordable
Extremely kind host and very reasonable price. We were at the Hostal on a Saturday night and we were lucky to have a live show in the main square of Playa Giron, just outside the Hostal. Not sure it is on every saturday, maybe we were just lucky. They make an effort to prepare good food. Unfortunately no Wo-Fi at all in Playa Giron, and the whole area is a good place to go (compared to other places in Cuba) only if interested in Scuba Diving

Ottimo per visitare Caleta Buena e Punta Pérdiz
L'Hostal El Castillito è probabilmente la miglior opzione in assoluto, per un'eventuale soggiorno a Playa Giron. Pulito, camere ampie, in posizione centrale, con i Yaya, la padrona di casa, molto disponibile e cordiale. Se vi capita poi, fatevi portare alle varie spiagge e Cénotes da Lázaro, il papà di Yaya, sulla sua mitica camionetta auto-costruita. Non perdetevi in particolare Punta Pérdiz e Caleta Buena

Everything was great, the place is lovely, and Yaya was very helpful, welcoming and flexible. The room is spacious and clean, and the hostel is very well located in the town, close to restaurants, bars, beaches... I warmly recommend it for a few days in Playa Giron!

Un logement de qualité et une excellente cuisine
Une très belle adresse avec des chambres bien équipées donnant sur un agréable jardin dans un patio, un très bon accueil et une cuisine remarquable à prix très raisonnable. Nous avons profité en particulier d'un très bon crabe parfaitement préparé. Playa Giron et sa cote Est étant par ailleurs de bons sites de plongée ou de snorkeling directement accessibles depuis la cote sans besoin d'un transit en bateau. Une adresse à retenir.
