Affordable resorts and vibrant culture - an alternative vacation package

Feel Santiago's beat.

Santiago is Cuba's second city and the largest at the eastern end of the island. For most visitors Santiago is the jumping off point for the resorts along the nearby southern coast. However, the city is also full of colonial and revolutionary history and is the epicentre of Cuban musical and Afro-Caribbean culture.

Explore history.

Wander along the narrow streets of Old Santiago and shop for handicrafts along Calle Heredia. Check out the views from El Morro, the castle at the mouth of the harbour, then watch a baseball game featuring Santiago's top-ranked team. Take a day trip out to Le Gran Piedra or the El Cobre shrine.

Get value.

The three-star resorts along the coast offer unpretentious fun in the sun. Because they are such good value, they are popular with families as well as with sunbirds looking for an affordable long stay option.

Include your meals.

The beach resort packages, unlike city hotel packages, include meals and drinks along with the standard flight, airport transfers and hotel. Opt for the optional meal plan at city hotels as local dining choices are limited.
