Stayed three nights in March 2025. This is a bed and breakfast. You get a GREAT breakfast every morning (we treated it as brunch) included in the price of the hotel - tropical fruit, strong coffee, fried eggs, bread, honey, fresh guava or mango juice. Everything you'd want to see in Trinidad is walkable from here, within 10-15 minutes. Yunio, who works there, served as our driver - for $40 we got a half day tour of Valle de los Ingenios and for $25, we were taken back and forth to the beach. Both were well worth it! Facility is clean and well kept. Room was very comfortable with an enormous, comfortable bed. Great deal - highly recommended!
I'd recommend two full days in Trinidad:
There's a 4 PM walking tour that starts in front of Lucha Contra Bandidos. $10 per person, great for orienting. Do this day #0 if you get in town soon enough.
Day #1 - The beach (Playa Ancon). Yunio will take you and pick you up. Lunch at a restaurant there. Evening in Trinidad. Go to Rin Tin Tin for a drink and to watch the sunset, but then go eat at La Botija a block away - better food and music.
Day #2 - Tour Valle de los Ingenios, have lunch at the Mirador on this tour - cheap, good sandwiches with a great view. Afternoon with museums/shopping in Trinidad. We ate at La Botija again - music was too good to not go back.
Casa de La Musica is highly touted. Cool setting, but much of the same band from La Botija, only tourists there, and starts at 10 PM.
