Cubaism Client Reviews of Hotel Rancho Club

Great value for money. Its small -- 30 or so rooms -- but I never missed a hot shower, even if I had to wait a few minutes for the hot water to arrive -- normal stuff. Friendly staff, and decent meals, although predictable. This place would make a great budget stop-over for cyclo-tourists....the final approach to the hotel from Santiago City is a long and gentle grade -- i did it daily on my heavy steel bicycle for two straight weeks without any trouble. Not a flat either. Because it is a small place, it is always possible that if you arrive cold without a reservation you might find Rancho Club full.

Best value for money for the experienced Cuba traveler.

Guide to Santiago de Cuba City

Cuba's second city is hot, hilly and exhausting but at the same time seductively languid. Built on a sequence of hills overlooking a large bay with the Sierra Maestra in the background, it is certainly one of Cuba's most picturesque cities. Its colourful streets sweep up and down steep hills, making walking through the city, although pleasant, a little tiring if done in long stretches.

Santiago City has a singular vibrancy, its predominantly mulatto people, a mix of Spanish, French from Haiti and huge numbers of Africans, are persistently friendly. And their reason for being is music and dance.

Santiago de Cuba has plenty to offer for sightseers, blessed as it is with a host of interesting museums, buildings and places.. including the Moncada Barracks, Emilio Bacardi Museum, The Cathedral, Morro Castle, La Maison and Calle Heredia
