La Roca Beach Front Cottage, Guardalavaca!

Cottage overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Independent. Cuba’s economic situation is complex, with a scarcity of food and water to buy in all areas. However, you may cook or get your breakfast/supper prepared by our chef next door, Abel; I highly recommend it! Beach walks at sunrise/sunset, snorkeling, and diving by the coral reefs are a must! Quiet neighborhood & friendly neighbors! Hiking to the Beach of the Dead and Mirador Bahía Naranjo are spots not to miss! Cabañita La Roca Awaits!

i spent 5 nights in the casa, Ricardo's family is very welcoming, Ricardo super nice and made sure I had a lovely vacation with my lover. We ate well and slept very well. The bathroom is very large with large hot water shower and everything. Climatic air and fan in the room, a large fridge with freezer that allowed us to always have ice water for our day at the beach. Walking distance from beautiful Guardalavaca beach. Several options for restaurants around the beach and on the beach as well. Most places only take cash so plan it either in Canadian or pesos but have cash. I got a little cash and a credit card only. in short for my part, I would go back to Ricardo anytime I am charmed to have met him. he helped me with everything I wanted, even rent a last minute car.
