The family who run Casa S were absolutely lovely, good with our children, and very helpful. The location is good - an easy 20min walk into Old Havana and very close to the Malecón and sea front, and the rooms were very comfortable. We were a family of 4 so we rented the bigger room, which actually turned out to be two rooms adjoined by a bathroom, with a double bed in one and two singles in the other. They rent this for a very similar price to one double room, and it was the best value we found in all of Cuba for a family of 4. Everywhere else we stayed we needed to rent 2 rooms separately (double the cost), or we could rent a triple room (much more common) which meant our 6 and 8 yr olds had to (begrudgingly) share a bed. To have the comfort of two separate rooms for a similar price to one room, was brilliant. I would highly recommend Casa S and it's lovely team to any travellers looking for an inexpensive and interesting visit to Havana. Thank you so much Pedro, Odalis, Margolis,and Rosa x

What a lovely couple to stay with! Eva and Juan are beautiful people who treated us like their own children. The house was clean, quiet and comfortable, but within a minute's walk to the bus stop where regular buses take you into downtown Merida. Eva took us to the beach and to a Cenote (highly reccomend!), even though she had friends visiting, and we really felt like we were involved and welcomed into their culture. Eva and Juan were always there for help and advice, and our two daughters (6 and 8) had a wonderful time - especially wild swimming at the cenote where racoons and coatis stole our sandwiches! We will miss these wonderful hosts and would highly recommend them to anyone, especially fmailies looking for a bit of emersion into local life. Thank you so much.

We had a lovely time at Federica's. We stayed here with our 2 daughters aged 6 and 8. They loved the pool within 2 mins walk from the house, inside the gated community, which felt safe and comfortable, yet within easy reach of all of downtown Cancun (taxis are 3$ to anywhere in downtown!). Federica was very friendly and picked us up from the airport for a small fee, and the room was big and comfortable with 2 double beds. It was a bit hot in the room for us (we are not used to the Mexican heat, especially not cooling down much at night!) but apart from that, our stay was great! Would highly reccomend.
