Little Havana Cigar and Food Adventure
About This Experience
Your home base is a stylish hotel set just steps from Miami's waterfront, where mornings begin with sun glinting off the bay and evenings unfold beneath the soft glow of the skyline. Ride the elevator to the 19th floor and you'll find an open-air pool deck with poolside dining suspended above the city — equal parts rooftop oasis and skyline observation post, and a perfect place to toast another day of discovery before heading back out into the night.
By day, you'll wander the painted storefronts, hand-rolled cigar windows, and sidewalk fruit stands of Calle Ocho. At a working torcería, you'll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with a Master Torcedor as he walks you through the patient art of rolling — selecting the wrapper leaf, shaping the bunch, finishing each cigar with the quiet pride that has defined Cuban craftsmanship for generations.
Then you'll follow a local guide on an authentic walking food tour, tasting your way through warm croquetas, slow-braised ropa vieja, hand-pressed Cuban sandwiches, guava-filled pastelitos, and that famously potent shot of café cubano. Between bites, you'll duck into independent galleries and mural-lined alleys that pulse with the color and conviction of Miami's Cuban-American artists.
As the sun drops, the music takes over. Live trios spill out of corner cafés, salsa dancers fill the sidewalks, and the whole neighborhood seems to move in time. Whether you sway along or simply sit, sip, and listen, this is Little Havana at its most alive — a sensory memory you'll carry home long after the cigar smoke has cleared.
An unforgettable escape to Miami's waterfront and vibrant Little Havana. Stay just steps from Miami's waterfront, roll cigars with Master Torcedores, savor an authentic walking food tour, explore the local art scene, and soak in the rhythm of traditional Cuban music — all while enjoying five nights at a hotel complete with 19th-floor outdoor poolside dining. Designed for two guests, up to five nights in the heart of Miami, just steps from the waterfront and minutes from Little Havana.
Zero-Risk Consignment
You don't pay us until you sell it at your event. If it doesn't sell, no problem — there's no cost to you.
Your travel window is generous — three full years* from the date of your auction, event, or travel store purchase. Because this timeline is so broad, the specific featured resorts highlighted in your package may be swapped for a comparable property of equal caliber at any point, without prior notice.
This package is yours to enjoy — or to gift. After registration, you're welcome to pass it along to a friend or family member at no extra cost, provided no booking has been made. However, resale and re-auctioning are strictly off the table. Registration can happen anytime within your 3-year window.
Your stay is meant to be savored in one stretch. Accommodations must be used for consecutive nights and cannot be split across separate visits.
Choice is built in. Travelers can pick from a selection of resorts within their chosen destination — the featured property included, but not your only option.
Featured properties are subject to availability and may be swapped for a comparable property of equal caliber at any point, without prior notice.
Summer is in high demand. Resort availability during June, July, August, and September is extremely limited, and where rooms do exist, expect meaningful surcharges.
Browsing starts after you register. Once your package registration is complete, the Meridian Rewards Group Travel Selection System opens up, letting you view and choose from available resorts and arrival dates. Options typically appear 90 to 300 days before each arrival date, and all reservation requests must be placed no fewer than 90 days ahead of your chosen check-in.
Travel any season you like. This package is valid year-round, though peak-season dates hinge on what's available and may carry additional surcharges.
Nothing is guaranteed until it's confirmed. Every resort and date — featured properties included — is subject to availability.
Once a reservation is locked in, it's locked in. No alterations will be made for any reason — not to the traveler's name, travel dates, resort, or unit size. We strongly urge travelers to safeguard their full investment with travel insurance. A quick online search for "Travel Insurance" will surface plenty of reputable providers.
A few things aren't part of the package: airfare, meals, taxes, personal expenses, and any on-site fees (such as resort or amenity charges) that are payable directly at the property.
The 3-year window is a hard deadline. No extensions will be granted under any circumstances.
Additional conditions may come into play.
*A note on Year 3 travel: Because accommodation costs over such a long horizon are unpredictable, trips taken during the third year may incur a supplemental charge of up to $500.00.
