Roy's Terrace Inn

Top choice in Santiago de Cuba


From the hanging rooftop garden to wall murals and impeccable rooms, every fiber gleams. Run by an enthusiastic team of well-traveled Cubans and local mamas who woo you with their warmth and cooking, this spot is tops. Rooms are filled with modern amenities, including TV, hairdryers and information packets. Service – in English, Spanish, French and some German – is a highlight.

Guests are given preference for dinner reservations at the tiny rooftop restaurant. Consider it a must.
