The Melia Santiago is a modern town hotel, offering all the usual services (or almost) of an international hotel. A business world lightened with a family seaside resort atmosphere.

It can't be missed. This blue, white and red tower can be seen from far away in the town. It is at the entrance of Santiago, not far from the Moncada barracks, on the right when you arrive from the airport. Allow about 20 minutes for transfers.
The rooms are comfortable and well furnished. They all have air conditioning, telephone, satellite TV, a safe, a fridge. The suites have a Jacuzzi. 24-hour room service.
This gigantic 15-floor tower was built in 1991. It has 302 rooms, of which 30 are junior suites and 3 senior suites, several bars and restaurants, a hair dresser, a nursery, a night club and a fitness room. Outside, there is a swimming pool and tennis courts. You have to like this architecture, rather avant-garde for a country like Cuba. One thing is certain: it is probably the most cosmopolitan hotel in Santiago.
The buffet restaurant was renovated by Sol Melia. The restaurant is large and quite pleasant. A section of the kitchen is open so you can see some dishes being prepared. There is also a gourmet restaurant (Creole cuisine), an Italian restaurant and a grill restaurant near the swimming pool.
Built in 1991, the Melia Santiago stands out for both its amazing architecture and its size. Its facilities make it a favorite place for local businessmen: business centre, congress lounge, panoramic bar... The Spanish chain Sol Melia took over it in August 1999.

The Balcon del Caribe is typically a tourism hotel for Latinos. You should not expect great comfort, but rather a lively atmosphere and an opportunity to meet people.

An old colonial palace, the Casa Granda is known for its splendid view, from its restaurant, over Santiago Bay. This hotel de charme has forgotten its past splendour.

Le Carisol is one of the main club-hotels in the Oriente. Plenty of space and good atmosphere and service will compensate for the distance from Santiago de Cuba town.

Perched on a rocky peak, los Galeones is like Robinson Crusoe's refuge, a two hour drive from Santiago.

The Sierra Mar is a giant holiday club. The site is splendid (especially the beach) and the buidings are rather old fashioned.

Nestled in a quiet part of Santiago, the San Juan is an unpretentious hotel, with bungalows in the heart of a beautiful garden.
