Fodor's Expert Review Villa Santiago

Av. Manduley 502, Santiago de Cuba, Santiago de Cuba, 90100, Cuba

At the edge of the Vista Alegre neighborhood are these accommodations in 12 one-storey houses, all former residences built in the 1940s and 1950s. A stay here is similar to a stay in a casa particular, except the houses are run by the state-owned Gaviota tour operator. Three to six rooms are available in each house; all are comfortable, bright, and well maintained. Rooms vary widely in size, so ask to see one before pouncing. The service is reliable.

PROS

  • house accommodations are a nice change from standard hotel fare
  • neighborhood is a quiet respite from the bustle of Santiago

CONS

  • a few of the houses have a lot of front steps
  • you're quite a distance from most sights here
