Sol

This brand is extremely family-friendly and value priced!  If you know you love Meliã hotels, it is definitely worth checking out.  You’ll find the same excellence and quality synonymous with Meliã hotels, with a ton of activities for adults and children alike.  I chose a Sol property for my wedding (Sol Cayo Guillermo) since I wanted something to suit everyone, and it was the best decision – everyone had a great time!
My favourites are: Sol Cayo Guillermo, Sol Rio de Luna y Mares (Holguin) and Sol Palmeras Resort and Bungalows (Varadero).

TRYP

TRYP has a little something for everyone, but my experience was that this brand was primarily for those looking for a party!  They are also great for families since they are full of activity and have excellent kids’ clubs and programs.  It’s a great place to meet people and the Havana location is ideally situated to allow you to explore all aspects of the city with ease – not to mention the spectacular view!

My favourites are: TRYP Cayo Coco, TRYP Havana Libre and TRYP Panama Playa Coronado.
