Casa El Tulipan
My review: The owners are delightful and accommodating. The apartment is lovely and clean. Breakfast was excellent which is quite an endorsement in Cuba as good food can be elusive. I would recommend a stay here but only if you do not plan on spending much time in the apartment during the day. It is located on the street that passes through Trinidad which can be very noisy. At night time it is relatively quiet and it is nicely located a few blocks away from the main tourist area, an easy walk but nice not to be right on top of the coach loads of tourists and touts.
Casa specifics: Comfortable, Patio

El Tulipan
My review: We really liked our stay at this casa.
It was very nice to speak in our own language. Maria / Marga and Bernardo are very friendly and helpfull people.
On the first day they invited us to drink something with them in Casa de la Troja to celebrate her sons birthday who was also visiting his mother. We really had a good time in casa the la Troja with international company.
El Tulipan is very clean, spacious and you have a lot of privacy. You will have your own key for the private entrance. They serve a good breakfast with delicious cheese from the Netherlands on the roof terrace. Wich is a great place to sit in the evening or morning. We came by car and we parked it on the opposit of their casa / road and the neighbour will keep an eye on it the whole night only for 2 cuc per night.
We really loved our time in Tinidad but it was way too short (3 nights) 2 full days.
We wish them luck with their casa and hope they will have a lot of customers.
Hope to visit them again in the future.

Casa El Tulipan
My review: For a wonderfull time in Cuba and Trinidad you have to stay at casa el tulipan with Marva and Bernardo! These people are very kind, helpfull and good cooks. You stay at the secondfloor appartement with a big terras. The extensive breakfast, the very clean appartement and the center in walking distance makes your stay in Trinidad comfortable. We liked it a lot and felt like home. Marva and Bernardo are the best hosts you could wish for!

Casa El Tulipan
My review: This wonderful second floor apartment and private patio overlooking a vibrant streetscape is minutes from the historic centre of Trinidad and all that it offers. It is a gem; but what makes it particularly special, besides the wonderful mountain vista and delicious breakfasts, are the two hosts Marga and Bernardo. They point you to the best and most genuinely Cuban of places for music, dancing, fine food and drink. My partner and I felt truly welcomed. It was always a pleasure to come "home" after a day of walking the cobbled streets or lying on the beach.

How was your room?: The apartment had a comfortable edroom, sitting room and kitchen and an en suite batroom with shower. It was lovely, airy and pleasantly decorated.
How was the food they offer?: Breakfast was exceptional. Eggs, fruit, juice, toast and jam, cheese, meats and wonderful coffee or tea. What more could one ask for.
Other services they offer: They found us drivers and offered to contact various services for us should we be interested - riding, sightseeing etc.

Casa el tulipan
My review: i've had such a wonderfull time in "el tulipan"! nore only a room but a stunning appartment with all that european confort of ours. double bed room, cosy living room with tv and most of all a kitchen to be free to cook brekfast at all time and enjoy a good meal. bathroom with an actual shower that works( not always the case in cuba). womens' treat: a dressing! a large terrasse is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy sunbathing or a little drink with visitors. lovely landlords Marga & Bernardo will give you a worm welcome. she's dutch and can speak english as well as a bit of french, she's the european flavor to decoration. he's cuban and will give you all the tips to discover trinidad . the location is in the heart of the city for a real introduction in cuban's life far ! from the touristic venues.
perfect place for a long journey.

Casa El Tulipan
My review: Stayed here with friends over Christmas 2011. The accommodation occupies the entire upper level and is a charming, comfortable and spacious self catered apartment with a lovely big terrace that looks over the street and up to the mountains. Marga and Bernardo are friendly and helpful hosts, who turn on an excellent breakfast if you want one.

How was your room?: The whole apartment was comfortable and tastefully decorated, the bed was firm and good for sleeping.
How was the food they offer?: We had breakfast and it was generous and delicious with both tea and coffee. Set out on the terrace, it was a delightful way to start the day.
Other comments: I managed to leave my favourite hat there and with some effort on her part, Marga has arranged to have it returned to me - service above and beyond expectations, fantastic!
