Schöne Unterkunft mit Aussicht aufs Meer, schöne Terrasse, leider zu viele Moskitos, da kein Moskitogitter an den Fenstern. Der Strom wird immer wieder gekappt und ohne Klimaanlage wird es sehr heiß. Mit funktionierender Klimaanlage gut aber sehr laut.
I had a fantastic stay at this home. My hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made me feel part of the family and were really helpful to enable me to book tours during my stay. They served a lovely breakfast and evening meal. The room was basic but absolutely fine for what I needed and the balcony area was a pleasant place to sit and take in the sea breeze. The beach is close by and the accommodation felt relaxed, homely but with privacy. My hosts really made this the best part of my trip by really making me feel welcome. I highly recommend this accommodation to experience Cuban life!
My girlfriend and I stayed here. Hands down the best experience we had in Cuba! The host is amazing, the food is spectacular and the beach is literally a minute walk away. Would absolutely stay here again!!

The owners were quite friendly, the breakfast was simple but good. The room was totally sufficient. The internet can be weak because of the remoteness of the place. There are better beaches in Cuba, the atmosphere in the small village is nevertheless quite tranquil.
We couldn’t recommend this casa enough, our hosts were incredibly kind, helpful and friendly, they organised whichever activities we wanted to do the night before and even allowed us to borrow their snorkel equipment. The room was in great condition and wifi and bottled water was available for our use.
Fab location, 100m from the beach. Spotlessly clean. Lovely hosts, interesting vet who set us up with everything including excursions for our stay in Playa Larga. Veranda with rocking chairs overlooking lagoon is a wonderfully tranquil setting for breakfast & evenings. Can't recommend enough. Felix who runs the dive school & snorkelling is awesome, very safe & recommended.
Stay was very nice. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Recommend their breakfast as it is very good. Parking on site, very safe. Room was large, with a fridge. Staff spoke Spanish with some English and I spoke English with some Spanish. We had NO problem communicating. I did improve my Spanish speaking.
Definitely a must for a visit. Also mingle with the Cuban people for better understanding of their culture and life. They are a very happy and friendly people.
Please have their dinner. We enjoyed a fish supper. Host caught the fish himself earlier in the day on the sea (spear fishing). The host also provided shots of Cuban rum, the best there was. We had an excellent Chile wine with the meal. You cannot get this good Chile wine in Canada. Note, the host is a veterinarian.
The property is on the water. The view was beautiful. The room had a terrace which we used during the evening for a peaceful and serene evening. We only stayed one night as it was a stop on the way from Trinidad to Vinales. You must stay a minimum of two days to really appreciate the area, still untouched by commercialization. Enjoy this while you can.
You must visit Playa Girón,the famous site of the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, 30 minutes from Playa Larga.
Also visit Museo de Playa Girón. The museum tells the story of the 1961 failed invasion, marking an important aspect of Cuba’s history and its relationship with the US. The story surprisingly accurate is told from the Cuban perspective.
Ismail and Katy are great hosts! They are really kind and we felt very welcomed here.
Ismail took us showed us around, took us snorkelling and even displayed some of his talents as a magician!
We would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Casa Pelicano.
the room was perfect, very spacious with private bath shower. was in the first floor with very nice view to the sea.. everynight we were sleeping with the sound of the waves.. what else to ask.. but what was really unforgettable is the help of the host Ismael.. he helped both of us with different issues we had and we really owe to him.. i hope to return again here and see him.
Bella struttura con vista Mare e laguna, stanze che danno su ampio terrazzo. Buona colazione. Non facilmente raggiungibile dalla fermata delle corriere (a piedi ci vogliono circa 20')
Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, unser Zimmer im Obergescoss war gross, sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Unterkunft liegt ruhig und nahe am Strand. Die Gastgeberin bietet kubanisches Frühstück und Abendessen an (zusätzlich zu bezahlen).
Für einen Aufenthalt in Playa Large absolut zu empfehlen.
Tipp: Anti-Mückenspray mitnehmen - noch besser. dünne Langarmshirts und lange Tropenhosen, es hat viele stechwütige Mücken.
Séjour agréable dans cette casa. Notre hôte a été très agréable et le logement adapté à une famille avec 2 enfants. Excellent diner préparé par nos hôtes (langouste et poisson frais)

Accueil très sympathique et repas complet le soir avec une langouste préparée par Madame pour 15€/personne. Vie familiale d’une casa particular comme on les aime. Je recommande
accueil parfait, la casa est extrêmement bien située au bord de mer avec une magnifique terrasse donnant sur la mer, environnement très calme
je recommande
Everything was perfect.The owner was very friendly and helpful. The room and the bathroom was clean and comfortable. The view was wonderful. The covered terrace was directly at the sea / the bay. It was quiet and very private. The breakfast and the dinner was absolutely delicious, varied and extensive. I would return any time! Thank you!
Notre chambre à l'étage était assez spacieuse pour une famille de 4. Vous trouverez une grande aide de vos hôtes, pour des conseils et n'hésitez pas à manger à la casa les repas et petit déjeuner sont très bon et copieux. Merci encore pour cet accueil
