財産 — bloque 1
Bloke 1 is a compact, no-fuss three-star in central Holguín, all concrete and pastel, with a small pool and a rooftop terrace that gives you the city's low skyline. It feels like a working hotel — clean, functional, staff brisk but helpful — and suits budget travellers or those using Holguín as a base for the eastern beaches. There's a bar, a basic restaurant, and the lobby has that institutional tile-floored air of a 1980s resort, but it's well-kept and close to the main square.
Holguinの歴史
Founded in 1523 as San Isidoro de Holguín, the city grew slowly as a cattle and tobacco hub inland from the north coast. Its colonial core was reshaped in the 19th century with neoclassical and eclectic buildings, notably around Parque Calixto García. Little damaged by revolution or modern development, Holguín remains a lived-in provincial capital of around 350,000 people. Today it's known for its music scene, cigar factories, and as the gateway to Guardalavaca and other beaches — a quieter alternative to Havana or Santiago de Cuba.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Holguin完全ガイド →最高の月
December to March: dry, warm days (26–28°C), low humidity, and minimal rain. Crowds are moderate — mostly European package tourists at the coast. Ideal for city walks and day trips.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
July–August: school holidays in Europe and Cuba, plus the Fiesta de la Cultura Iberoamericana in Holguín (October also busy). Hotel prices in Holguín rise 20–40% over summer base rates. Book months ahead.
予算肩の季節
April–May and November: after the rains start/stop. Still pleasant (28–30°C), with fewer tourists, hotel discounts of 15–30%, and greener countryside. May can have short showers but good deals.
天気&パッケージ
Holguín has a tropical savanna climate — rain is bursty, not all-day, even in wet season. Pack a light rain jacket that fits in a day bag, plus strong insect repellent for evenings; dry-season nights can be cool enough for a thin sweater.
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Holguin
- The Holguín airport terminal 2 reopened in late 2025 after renovations, expanding capacity for international flights; check your airline's gate.
- A new pedestrian plaza opened in front of the Teatro Eddy Suñol on Calle Libertad, with cafes and street performance space — good for evening strolling.
- July's daily downpours often cause street flooding in low parts of the city centre; wear sandals or shoes you don't mind getting wet.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to bloque 1, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Ask for a room on floors 2-4 facing the inner courtyard. These rooms are far enough from the street to avoid traffic noise, and the mid-height means you avoid any ground-floor bustle. The courtyard side is generally quieter and gets a bit of breeze.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (ground level). They’re closest to the reception, any lobby noise, and the street. Also skip rooms at the end of corridors near the stairwell or lift – you’ll hear door slams and people coming and going.
Best views
With the address just as 'Holguin' and no specific street name, the best bet is a room on an upper floor facing the main road – you’ll see the city and maybe some hills. But the trade-off is street noise. A compromise is a high room on the side or back, giving a partial urban view without the racket.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-4 tend to be quietest because they’re above street level but not high enough to pick up roof sounds. The fourth floor is probably the top, so no footsteps above you.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is right in the city, so expect traffic from cars and the occasional bus. Holguin is not a 24-hour party town, but morning deliveries and street sweeping happen early. The lift and stairwell can be audible if you’re next to them.
Insider tips
1) Check in early to request a courtyard-facing room – these are often the first to go. 2) The 3-star rating means basic amenities; bring earplugs and a sleep mask as curtains may not block light fully. 3) No lift is mentioned, so if you have heavy luggage, ask for a ground-floor room but accept the noise trade-off.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

お金 & 通貨
Get a travel card →Cuban Peso, CUP
Exchange foreign cash at CADECAs (official exchange offices) in town for better rates; avoid airport kiosks and tourist bureaux — they levy steep commissions and give poor rates.
Cards from non-US banks work at some state-run shops and hotels, but most places (markets, street stalls, local eateries) accept only cash — carry enough pesos in small denominations.
Tip 10% at sit-down restaurants if service charge isn't included; leave small change (10–20 CUP) for hotel maids and porters; taxi drivers don’t expect tips but rounding up is appreciated.
食事、ショッピング、旅行 予算
Cheap car hire →A small espresso (café cubano) at any local draft house or street stall costs about 10–15 CUP.
A menu of the day (sopa, rice, beans, meat, and a juice) at a state-run cafeteria or paladar is around 100–150 CUP.
A simple main (grilled chicken or fish with rice and salad) at a casual paladar runs about 150–250 CUP.
Look for pizzerias and churros stalls along Avenida de los Libertadores and near the central Parque Calixto García, plus sandwich vendors in the market area.
State-run ‘Tiendas de Productos Alimenticios’ (often labelled ‘Mercado’) and small ‘bodegas’ are dotted across Holguín’s neighbourhoods; for basics, try the agro-market on Calle Martí.
The covered market on Calle Maceo and the stalls around Parque San José sell affordable basics and local attire; expect limited sizes and mostly utilitarian designs.
Ride the local ‘camiones’ (shared trucks/taxis) for 10 CUP per journey around town; from the airport, a taxi into the city centre costs about 600–800 CUP – no budget bus option exists.
Always pay in CUP rather than CUC (if offered) to avoid conversion fees; eat at paladares (family-run restaurants) rather than state-run tourist spots; negotiate room prices directly with casa particular hosts, especially mid-week.

Holguín city centre (Parque Calixto García) → Villa Don Lino, Guardalavaca
💡 Shared taxis (colectivos) run along the main road to Guardalavaca. You’ll need a bus or taxi from Holguín airport to the city first. Flag one down near the bus station. They only leave when full, so expect waits.
Frank País Airport (HOG) → Villa Don Lino, Guardalavaca
💡 Arrange a fixed-price taxi through your hotel in advance to avoid haggling at arrivals. The standard rate to Guardalavaca is around 30-35 CUC. Drivers often wait outside, but official taxis are safer.
Holguín bus station (Terminal de Ómnibus) → Guardalavaca (main stop near beach)
💡 Viazul is the reliable inter-city coach. Book a day ahead at the station or via your hotel. The stop is a 10-minute walk from Villa Don Lino, but you can catch a bici-taxi for 1 CUC. Bring small change.
Villa Don Lino, Guardalavaca → Guardalavaca village (shops and restaurants)
💡 These pedal-powered taxis are the cheapest way to explore the local strip. Negotiate in CUP before you climb on. They can squeeze two people in, but don't expect comfort. Great for short hops to buy snacks or rum.
