What do you know about Holguin, Cuba?

Question

We are thinking of making a "last minute" booking to take a trip there in a week. Holguin was the cheapest location we can find while still staying tropical and all inclusive. Anyone been to a resort in Holguin? What is it like there? p.s. I'm Canadian, no need to warn me about U.S. travel ;)

Answer 1

I've not been to any, but the resorts are all on the north coast, I believe. Nice beaches.

The weather should be good.

Holguin itself is a fair sized city, some historical sites.

Answer 2

Beardo and Richard K know their Cuban information...and you have some excellent links.

Playa Esmeralda (beautiful beach) is where Richard recommended the resort Sol Rio de Luna and Sol Rio de Mares...these are 4* resorts.

There is also Melia Rio de Oro....5* resort.

Here are a couple more...I'm not sure if I'm repeating any already given.

Enjoy your vacation. You will LOVE Cuba, guaranteed!

Buen viaje :-)

Answer 3

Most of the Holguin resorts are at Guardalavaca, it's a beautiful area,  about 60 kilometres from the airport. I've been to Sol Rio Luna y Mares four times and recommend it highly.  Check the links below.
