Club Amigo Carisol – Los Corales

Santiago de Cuba Province


There's the swim-up bar, umbrellas in the piña coladas, and the government-sponsored band knocking out 'Guantanamera' as you tuck into your lukewarm buffet dinner: you must be back in all-inclusive land. This two-piece Cubanacán resort is situated 44km east of Santiago on the coast's best section of beach (although it's been damaged by successive hurricanes).

Bonuses are a tennis court, a disco, multiple day trips on offer and bright spacious clean rooms. Nonguests can purchase a day pass for CUC$25 including lunch.
