ETWAS LIEBLOS GEFÜHRTE CASA

Recommend to other travelers

Die casa ist auf keinen fall eine schlechte wahl, aber im vergleich zu unseren anderen casas in kuba hat es uns hier nicht soo gut gefallen. wir konnten kostenlos schnorchelausrüstung leihen und für den vorher vereinbarten preis von 5 cuc pro rad/tag fahrräder leihen. super ist der wäscheservice (7 cuc für einen beutel voller wäsche). frühstück und abendessen sind gut. nicht gut fanden wir die kommunikation mit den gastgebern, die sich keine mühe gegeben haben, uns zu verstehen, was dann auch zu einigen kleineren missverständnissen geführt hat (was wir mit anderen nicht-englischsprachigen gastgebern nicht hatten). das zimmer war ein bisschen muffig und der mülleimer im bad wurde während unseres aufenthalts nicht geleert. la boca an sich ist ein kleines dorf und prima geeignet, wenn man an die strände der näheren umgebung möchte und einen kleinen weg mit rad oder taxi in kauf nimmt.

AGRADABLE ESTANCIA

Recommend to other travelers

Muchas gracias julio por hacernos tan agradable la estancia en trinidad, por estar pendiente de todo, facilitarnos transporte para cualquier sitio que quisieramos ir, asesorarnos sobre lo que ver en trinidad, los desayunos y comida incluso llegando bien tarde a comer.

STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE! QUÉDATE MUY LEJOS DE ESTA CASA!

Don't recommend to other travelers

My boyfriend and i stayed at "hostal julio" for 3 nights, and it was all in all the worst experience of our holidays in cuba! we arrived with a taxi driver whom we were told was julio's brother. julio charged us 30cuc per night, even though it was the low season! the prize included rending of a fishing rod and two bikes for the days we spent there - or so we thought! on our last night as we wanted to pay, suddenly the fishing rod costed us 15cuc extra and the bikes were not included either. the guy who drove us there was according to julio conveniently not his brother anymore. julio is a who makes business with the local "jineteros" - please do yourself a favor and stay as far away from his place as possible! mi novio y yo nos quedamos 3 noches en el "hostal julio", y fue la peor experiencia de nuestros vacaciones en cuba! llegamos a "la boca" con un chauffeur de taxi que supuestamente era el hermano de julio. julio nos cobró 30cuc por noche, aunque era en la temporada baja! el precio incluía el alquilo de una caña de pescar y dos bicicletas para los días que nos quedamos ahí - por lo menos en eso nos quedamos (antes de pagar). en nuestra última noche cuando queríamos pagar todo, la caña de pescar nos costó 15cuc más y las bicicletas ya tampoco estaban incluido en el precios. el hombre que nos llevó al hostal ya convenientemente según julio no era su hermano. julio es un hombre quien hace negocio con los "jineteros" de trinidad - por favor no déjale engañarte! quédate muy lejos de su casa!

WONDERFUL PLACE TO STAY

Recommend to other travelers

We spent four relaxing days at hostal julio and enjoyed every moment of them. the en-suite accommodation is of a very high standard, as is the food - the mountain pork we had on our last evening was amazing! julio and his family made us feel very welcome and were happy to advise on restaurants and book taxis etc. the terrace was the perfect place to have our meals, chill out, read, have a drink or play dominos (we rediscovered what an enjoyable game that is thanks to julio!). there is a quiet beach within walking distance of the hostal, while trinidad and ancon beach are just short taxi rides away. all in all, highly recommended

NICE AND QUIET CASA NEAR THE BEACH

Recommend to other travelers

We stayed in hostal julio for three nights. it is a nice casa in la boca, which is approx. 4km from trinidad city centre. we had a rental car so it was no problem for us - but without a car i think it would be easier to stay in trinidad centre. our room was nice, clean and we had a terrace to ourselves. the breakfast and dinner was plenty and solid, including fresh fruits and juice every day. julio offered a lot (!) of advice on activities and other things.
