Holguin has a number of great times to visit throughout the year, but perhaps the best time is when it is at its most lively with other tourists during the winter months. This is the time of year when temperatures are in the late-20s on a fairly consistent basis which is a far cry from the UK’s temperatures at this time of year. The summertime is also a great time to visit this resort, with temperatures at a very similar level.
One of the best things to do in Holguin is to relax on its white sandy beach area.
