RESTFUL PLACE

This hotel is a 2.5 star hotel. Food is Cuban and basic. The property is kept very clean. Constant attention is given to the grounds and they are always adding little extras too improve the property.. All amenities are central here so you can not get lost and don't need too go far for anything. All of the employees are very helpful and kind. The pool is large and there is a kiddie pool as well. You can get alcoholic drinks until 2:00 AM. 24 hour snacks are not great and there is not a great  [... read more]variety but there is always something too eat. There are local public discos/clubs next door so if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs as the music plays until 3 or 4:00 AM every day. I have been close to 40 times and will keep returning because of the low key atmosphere. If you are a foodie and like large elegant rooms, don't go here. You pay for what you get. If you want 5 star, pay the price and go 5 star. This is home away from home. Very quaint hotel.

Nice resort. Not for the young.

The resort is older but slowly being upgraded. Everything worked in my room. The water was hot enough each day for a good shower. The pool is clean with plenty of space for everyone. The food is plentiful and decent. The fruits are fresh, the deserts are tasty and fresh as well. The staff is very good and very friendly. However this is typical in Cuba. The people are very humble and happy to be there. The entertainers work hard and do a great job getting people involved and putting on the sho [... read more]ws. When you go to Cuba don't have high expectations and you won't be disappointed. It's not been ruined by North American culture. There is always lots to do. Spend time at the beach or go snorkeling or try your luck at Sail surfing. Leave the resort and go back in time. All in all I had a good time and experience again.

Great for a three star resort

Great place to put hole into our winter. Great value for price. Beach needs clean up more often, lots of plastic debri and weeds. Friendly staff with special shout out for Santiago for exceptional service and personality.

Club Amigo Mayanabo

The room was clean, everything was working properly, but there was no mosquito net on the window. Nutrition is normal, good milk, fish, burgers, but the tea was just mint and linden, there was no black. The sea is shallow, the beach was not always cleaned from sea grass, but perhaps it was useful for natural inhalation, it contains iodine. In the evening there were good concerts, sang and danced professionally, but during the day I would like to rest from music, listen to the silence of the sea [... read more]side nature. All garden vegetation is well-groomed !!!Thanks administration for the warm welcome! We were pleased with our husband for our 44th anniversary of married life - Angelina & Boris , Canada.

B+ resort

The overall vacation was good, if you do the extra activities. The resort runs well but cut corners here and there. Room - dated and requires fresh paint, newer bathrooms and new mattresses. initial room given was way too small and we've asked to have it replaced. we got a better one but still issues came with the AC and shower. also mattress has been replaced with one in better condition. all issues were taken care of. Food - we have compared it with other hotels on that strip. the food lack [... read more] some of the basics. I was hoping to see more salads and overall variety which was not there. staff and entertainment - I would give it a solid A. staff was very helpful and dancers and singer were great, people at the bar, Caffe and restaurant.. all good Beach - I would give it a B. Its not for snorkeling. didn't like the massive seaweed which was accumulated over time. it was clean up after a day or so but it needs to be clean up more often. over all, I enjoyed my stay, enjoyed my conversations with the locals and loved the activities (kite surfing, horse back riding and trips) that were much cheaper than other resorts in the caribbeans.

Comfortable small resort

The staff are personable and pleasant. This is the third time we’ve gone to Club Amigo Mayanabo, many of the staff recognized us and were glad to see us. The rooms are clean, the housekeeper we had did a great job each day she was cleaning our room. Her days off - her replacement di the bare minimum. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best but it was certainly better than what we left behind.

Mayanabo

No surprises. Food could be better and an update would really help. Good enough to recommend. Be aware of luggage handlers in Cuba they look for an excuse to steal like a crack in the suit case that miraculously opened up the zipper and poured out the deodorant and the cologne .

Nice family resort

The resort works hard to keep up a 40 year old hotel. Great staff and ok food . They need to establish a non smoking policy in the hotel lobby. The smoking was disgusting and especially bad since we had rain and bad weather forcing all the smokers to the lobby.

Employé(e) très consciencieux!

J’en suis à mon sixième voyage à Cuba. Plongée en apnée sensas. Nourriture la moins variée que j’ai connu à Cuba. Chambre désuète. Superbe plage. Nous avons eu seulement une journée et demi de beau temps et le reste de la semaine à 22 degrés et des vents froids. Mais cela, on n’y peut rien et les cubains non plus!!!

Delightful Hotel, Pool, and Beach

Our family really enjoyed staying at Club Amigo Mayanabo The arrangement of the buildings (main hotel lobby, restaurant, billiard room, the pool, the courtyard, gardens, stage and activity areas, adjoining guest rooms, walkway to beach) are well distributed. The gardens are beautifully maintained. The pool is central and well designed. For an accurate look at the pool and the buildings, refer to the hotel website. There is a short video that gives a better presentation than a photo. Th [... read more]e staff is incredibly professional and personable. The activity and entertainment staff also speak English, French, Italian, and German (maybe other languages as well). There are a wide array of activities for children and adults alike. The entertainers and dancers who perform everyday are very talented. We stayed in the basic room- this was perfectly fine- the cleaning staff were very courteous and maintained the room. When we return we will upgrade to a suite- a little more expensive-but well worth the difference in price. We looked at one and found it to be very spacious and well equipped. The staff at the restaurant were kind and very attentive. The food was very good. The beach is very quiet....It's a perfect place to relax and read under the shade of a palm leaf umbrella. The location is very secure and our son (12) enjoyed having the freedom to walk around the complex and participate in activities on his own.

Very good resort wouls go back for sure

I think this hotel. Is good for our money good price.room very clean the only thing you need more activities for people instead of seeing them seat and be on their phone a good part of the day .but overall good resort keep the good work

Where else can you get all this for the price?

I liked this resort because the price was amazing, the weather unbeatable and the staff was helpful and genuinely friendly. I would bring get some mosquito spray if I had to change anything but the bites don't last whereas the good memories will.

Beautiful Resort

Rooms were bright and clean,pool was large and the people were amazing. Beach was great the food was good,coffee was awesome and the beer was ice cold!!! Nice place at a great price.We went of site for lobster dinner and had the best meal ever,people were very friendly and we had no problems.The bus ride from the Cuban airport was a little long but the views were great and we were able to take cold cheap beer on the bus!!!! If you like kite boarding this is a great spot,6 to 8 people every day o [... read more]n the water as there is allways a breeze . By noon its a good wind so if you wanna play in the Ocean its best to go after breakfast,then after lunch hit the pool. The entertainment at night was great,singing and dacing and as we went at an off time they still put on full shows every night even for less than 30 people some nights.During the day they would great everyone at 10 am with a goodmorning over the P.A. then start the music.As the day moved along you could get snacks{pizza,burgers} buy the pool,the pizza was great !!The gift shop has a great selection so if you want to take a gift home or if you forgot something they had a little of everything.

LOVE IT!!!

Best hotel ever, food is good, staff are super friendly, a lot of fun, beautiful views , nice beach, nice everything, the shows at night are soo good. I recommend this hotel to everyone, I will go back one day thats for sure. LOVE IT SOO MUCH!!

Another fun time!

This was our fourth time at Club Amigo Mayanabo. Things haven't changed much, still excellent service, excellent coffee and pretty good food! Lots of fresh fruit and omelettes in the morning. Lunch and dinner were a bit more repetitive this time around but that may have been that it is toward off-season. Kite surfers are a bit of a nuisance near (and in) the swimming area and rules should be enforced. The rooms are getting nicer as work seems to be being done bit by bit to upgrade. New underwat [... read more]er scene at the beach bar is gorgeous, hats off to the resort for having this artwork done! More local musicians are also being used as well which is what we want to hear. Never was a fan of the nightly entertainment however, which seems not to have changed much. No more cheesy shows please! Its nice they have something to engage the children but it goes on too long. And men dressing up like women as comedy is out of fashion. All in all, a great place to go and relax. We enjoyed the Playa Bonita catamaran/snorkeling/lunch trip very much.

Amazing resort!

Love this resort! 5th time here, always treated great. Small resort but treated like family by all! Food is good, beach is nice, drinks are flowing, what more could you ask for! I had a suite and it was big, most room are a little small but you don't spend much time there anyway. Spent 2 weeks there's and will definitely go back!

Great experience

This was the third visit to this resort. The personnel are great and the resort has continually improved. From the cafe con leche in the coffee shop in the morning to a late night snack the menu is both filling and savoury, the variety over a two week period was ample. The ice cream is amazing and the service welcoming. If you're looking for a laid back location to read a book on the beach and just relax Club Amigo Mayanabo is an excellent value. The rooms are clean and bright. The resort is ag [... read more]ed but well maintained and clean. If possible, I will be returning again in the future.

Always fun to be there!

The Mayanabo is not a 4 or 5 star hotel. It's a place where everyone welcomes you and make it so that your vacation is a true one. The employees are key to the fact there are so many repeaters. it's in no way a perfect place, but everyone bends over to make you happy.

Club Amigo Mayanabo Review

The main building of the hotel has the front desk, bar, store and sitting area with TV's and 2 phone booths. There is a pool table on an upper level, and the buffet is located on the lower level. There is a couple of buildings where the rooms are located. My room was older and had a queen size bed, LED TV, Air conditioning, closet and table with a chair, however, the bathroom shower head was rusted out and broke, they replaced it with another shower head that was not in good condition. The 2 ele [... read more]ctrical outlets did not work. The pool and snack bar and show stage were steps from the lobby. The grounds are very well kept. There were several activities being offered by the pool every day. A bonus was that you have wireless internet in the lobby and snack bar for a fee. The buffet was repetitive, but the food was good. The A La Carte's required you to book them in advance. They offered a Cuban and a Sea Food dinner; also, they provided you with access to 2 other nearby hotel buffet's. The evening shows were alright. Phone card cost $10 CUC,(10 Minutes), Internet card cost $1.5 CUC(1 Hour), Beach towel required a $15 CUC deposit, the in room safe required a $15 CUC deposit and a cost of $2 CUC a day. A massage service was available for $10 CUC for 30 minutes. The beach and ocean were a short walk away and there was also a beach bar available. The beach was not maintained well and had lot of seaweed all over the sand. The majority of the staff are very friendly and may my stay enjoyable.

Rooms desperately need updating

This was my 5th time in Cuba but my husbands first. The hotel is a 1 hour and 35 minute drive from the airport, but the ride was comfortable and the Sunwing guide was nice and informative. The service at the hotel was fantastic and the grounds were well kept. The lobby including its bathrooms, pool, beach and eating facilities were all well kept and clean. The rooms however were awful. I've stayed at a 2 star where they served rationed hot dogs all day and the rooms were nicer and more spacious. [... read more] The rooms are very small and their "ocean view" is windows you can barely see out of and don't open. There is no balcony. The rooms also have chipped and cracked tiles, rusted faucets and we were lucky enough to have the newly installed AC leak into my shoes and all over the floor... twice and a ceiling drip when it rained the one night. Again, the staff and service along with the beach is what makes this place. If your ok with the room, go for it. The beach, staff, live churro station and coconut guy made up for it all.
