On the edge of Santa Clara, you will find the hidden gem that is Hostel La Hiedra. This hostel gives you a peak into how the local Cubans live. You will feel like you have moved in and are planning on living there for the next 50 years with the amenities they offer.

The house has two floors and is painted in different shades of green and teal. The backyard patio is large with white patio furniture. The ground has been paved with beautiful Cuban tiles and the canopy above is covered in pink flowers and creeping vines. An above-ground play pool has been constructed in one corner. Take a dip when the heat gets to be too much or allow the kids to be entertained for hours. A hammock hangs lazily on one side. It begs for a guest to take a nap to curl up with a good book inside it. The outdoor café and bar offer a great complimentary breakfast and other delicious Creole snacks and dishes.
