I've been to Holguin two times and stayed at four star hotels both times. i loved the resorts but i must admit i love the city of Holguin much more. i am planning to go again and i am looking for a place to stay the closest possible to the city. what is the clsest resort to the city and how long does it take to get there? because last time i've spent nearly200 to travel back and forth. Also has anyone here stayed at the Pernik hotel, or other small ones in the city? please describe if it is worth to try it out. i'm not too picky about food or conditions as long as its clean safe and i can sleep at night and not die of food poisoning. what would you suggest for the purpose of staying in the city but with a planned trip so that rules out casa particulares.
