Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great Resort, Price is right

This hotel is huge. 3 receptions(one not in use), 7 pools(some quiet, some busy, and a kids pool). There are 2 buffets, we found the best one in the Guardalavaca hotel had the best best food. 5 a-la-cart restaurants, excellent. 5 snack bars/restaurants which 1 is a 24 hr snack bar/bar. They even had poutine and pizza. If you go, upgrade from "The barracks" to a Villa or for a little more a Bungalow. The 2 Hotels had good rooms also. They are remodeling 1 of the barracks buildings now, but there [... read more] is 4 of them. (very small dingy, musty rooms). There are 3 beach area's, 1 is very small and quiet, with no services. Another has a pirate ship for a bar, and is small also. The large beach area runs into the public beach and the locals are around you a-lot. There is no bar here either, unless you run up to the pool bar, for a drink. The beaches do not have washrooms. They are gorgeous though. Next to the main beach, there are bars, local pizzeria, and foods. These are not included in your package. At the end of the main beach, 10 minute walk, you can walk up to 4 different lobster/food restaurants. "Lynda Luna" is the new one and the food is great. Great variety of fish, chicken, beef, and pork everywhere. Cooked to your liking. Fly with Cubana Airways, they still serve food on there flights, and provide extra excursions for free. (local native village) Fun Fun. Had a great 2 weeks at this resort.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Comfortable Resort

It was difficult to book the A-La-Cart restaurants for a convenient time. Although I lined up to make reservations to The Italian restaurant upon my arrival to the hotel. The earliest time I could obtain from the reservation desk was 8:00 pm. This is way too late for me, as I take medication with my meals.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Amazing Resort

The hotel, staff at Club Amigo were all fantastic, Had an amazing 7 day vacation with the family will defiantly be going back again.There was a screw up by the travel agency and the staff at the resort could not do enough to help us fix the issue. Cant wait till next winter and go again.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!

Grounds spectacular, Food was plentiful, and good. Family of 7 vacationed together and it was just so much fun. Beaches were spectacular also. Swam with the Dolphins and cruised on a large Catamaran in 8 foot swells. The best was meeting the beautiful and kind Cuban people on and off the Resort.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Amazing beaches

The beaches were amazing....we have been to the resort twice now the second time was way better than the first. The customer service was great the rooms were clean. The 2nd stay we stayed in the villas. We highly recommend this room type. The food was ok. There was a good variety of buffet and a la carte however the a la cartes filled up quickly. The beaches were fabulous the pools were dirty not enough chlorine and foggy. The staff always smiling, pacho jessicas patio what a great guy! , the la [... read more]dy in the beauty salon does a great pedicure, the panni press lady at the main buffet never missed a beat what a nice group of people in the dinning room. The young door man smiling eveey second , and norberto our horse and buggy driver welcomed us with open arms to him home! Our kids loved everything and cant wait to go back.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: You go here for the beach, sun and the people!

The hotel is very dated and has its faults but if you don't like the room you are staying in you upgrade and a bigger and nicer room like the Villas! Buffet has a good variety of food if you are picky but it won't taste exactly like at home. The entertainment staff make this place! They are fun and energetic and friendly. I had a great time and got the rest and relaxation I went to on vacation for :)

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: needs attension

I found the staff to be pleasantad for the most part helpful . The front desk at check in needs signage and an attitude adjustment. For disabled people as myself in villa 6105 more ground transportation needs to be addressed if. when i needed transport for the Mediterranean resturaunt and was told the one drver couldn;t be found. I made arrangements the day before for a 6 AM pick up for luggage. There we no keys for the carts.. The bars are lacking in supplies. ie. no mint, no limes  [... read more]for Mohitos. No tomato juice, running out of tonic at 4 PM. The stink from the septic system at the main lobby, bar coffe bar and pool area maid it intolerable at times. Living in the country I am well aware of septic systems and this is easily rectified. A disappointing vacation, not professionally run at all, even if it is an older resort there is no excuse for fundamentals. My recommendation to friends AVOID AT ALL COST. Bill Weloski.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Amigo Guradalavaca - A very pleasant stay

A beautiful location on a sandy bay. Excellent beach. Coral reef 200 m from the shore, still reachable by swimming from the beach. Or by a paddle boat. Scuba diving center nearby. Hobby cat catamaran sailing available (as a passenger). A few windsurfers in the inventory too, but not very good ones. Bring your own harness and boots. Beginning of March 2017 the water temperature 25-27 C, air 28 - 31 C, steady, fairly strong breeze from the east on shore. Good for kites and winsurfers,  [... read more]and not really impeding swimmers or paddle boaters. The beach gets more crowded during weekends with Cubans beach goers. That's good. That is their country as well. You can rent functional touring bicycles for free, and scooters for 25 CUC per day. A little township Guradalavaca is about 1 km away, and on the scooter you can go farther, for example towards Banes on a hilly winding asphalt road between banana plantations and tall coconut palm trees. The main hotel provides a decent accommodation. So called bungalows,slightly farther from the beach are newer and more modern. The best are so called villas: two story's units with total of 16 rooms in each. These are close to the beach and the newest buildings out of all. A beautiful promenade along the shore leading to the next resort, Brisas. A nice walk, but you might be stopped if you wanted to enter the hotel area (this is not YOUR all-inclusive) The food is absolutely adequate. If you limit yourself to few different dishes per meal instead of trying everything at once, then you will still have some unexplored variety by the end of your stay. And yes, there are a few of a la carte restaurants, for those for whom the standard meals and the 24-hour food serving bars are not sufficient.

Club Amigo Mayanabo: 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.

Carisol los Corales: Poor resort

The hotel wasnt great, bugs, smelly bathroom nowhere to swim shallow beach, food was very poor. I would not recommend to go there for anyone. It was a bad experience never had this bad experience ever.

Carisol los Corales: One of the worst

Room was well kept and clean but was missing phone and fridge and was noisy being beside pool and entertainment area. The grounds were nothing to write home about neither was the beach no fish to see when snorkeling nor could one swim as it was mostly covered by sea weeds. Good shaded and sunny areas to sit around and look out with a good enough beach bar. Food was very basic and boring, no taste, no variety basically the same thing over and over. Entertainment was okay and staff were mostly [... read more] friendly. The bar seemed to only have beer and cheap rum, no vodka , or whisky. I had trouble getting a bottle of water running around to different bars to a point that it seemed there was a water shortage. Two days there was no red wine with meals. Hamburgers were under cooked so was concerned about food poisoning. Often, there were no bowls for soup or ice cream and the soup was the same every day. I will not return to this resort as I found it one of the worst in the context of Cuban resorts.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great beach

The beach is beautiful here with a bonus of 2 little other beaches. 1 of the little beaches has a pirate bar and trees for good shade. Enjoyed seeing local Cuban families on the main beach, especially on Sundays. The food at this resort was better than last year. Would like it if Mohitos and Margueritas and diet Sprite were available. Towels in our rooms were not big enough and would appreciate having a shower mat(small towel) every day. We were in gardenview(barracks), ground floor, near the en [... read more]tertainment stage and rectangular pool, which also puts you close to checking desk and one of the buffets so pretty convenient.However, the music is loud in that area until 11pm. Don't put anything outside your patio door to dry...we lost t -shirts, 4 bathing suits and our neighbours lost sandals and shirts. Saw some nice evening entertainment-1 was outstanding-a group of young men from Holguin City-doing break dancing-we were in awe! Everything worked in our room-hot water, toilet, sink, shower. A place for suitcases would be good. Our flight with Sunwing-pleasant staff but not easy to get to washroom-kept asking people to keep aisles clear- for selling duty free products and then for staff change in Fredericton, where there was an hour delay. We left Holguin around 2pm and got to Halifax around 10pm. We were only offered a drink once-somhow we got missed in our area when water was passed out. We should have asked but kept thinking they would eventually come to us. After going through customs on arrival and departure, no organized lineup so not a good situation with so many people.Very few staff scanning and checking carry on luggage. They scanned almost everyone on departure. Seemed to be malfunctioning equipment. Nice bus ride to and from resort...always interesting. Took a very enjoyable "train" ride from resort to a little community one morning for 10 pesos-2nd time I did it. Good chance to see the local communities and to take photos, distribute gifts if you like to...along the way. A few safety concerns at the resort-walking along towards Brisas...some of the wooden structure.. fencing...is broken down and so now is open to high drop off areas.We love this area but it needs a lot of work done. Also need some pool ladders replaced. Enjoyed the pool near the beach with swimup bar and later in the day...the big rectangular pool. We had a lovely 2 weeks overall...the weather was beautiful with that lovely breeze and gorgeous water... Our room was kept clean and tidy. This resort is good value for the cost.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Such a nice resort!

As a repeat customer I can say I was very pleased with this resort! It is the people who are more important to me rather than the building or things in it.However, we did have to move once as the main building can be a bit noisy. (we moved further down the hall away from the bar) Once we were unpacked and settled we were both happy and content! There could always be room for improvment but this is Cuba! I would suggest to bring a coffee cup and a cocktail mug.. Our room was clean and the service [... read more] was excellent! Thank you Maria! As far as the beaches I would say, Amazing! We did bring our own towels just in case ours went missing. The a la cart dinning was supurb!, and the buffets had plenty to choose from...we never went hungry..(I'm up five pounds.) Truly you have everything you need here, this is my Happy Place!

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Too big!

While I did enjoy my stay here, I found it too big and our bungalows were too far away from the ocean! The food and our room were typical. The staff were friendly and helpful. On the plus side, there were 4 pools and lots of variety for dining, including at least 3 al la carte. The weather was great! If you like big resorts, then you will like it here!

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Beautiful People - Amazing Beaches

Breath taking beaches - beautiful people, rooms need a little work. At Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca in Guardalavaca Beach the water is so crystal blue you can see the bottom, the sand is white and soft on the bottoms of your feet. Spent 2weeks and had a great time.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: good value for the price

we were in a bungalow the room was clean and maid service was excellent however the bath room tub had been painted with white pain an was peeling off the tub..both main door and bathroom door were hard to close they scraped the floor and the night bolt did not lock the door. I needed a bar or miny fridge to keep my insulin cold so that it would not spoil in the heat it took 3 days and a constant promise to get a miny fridge which I had to pay for.the bathrooms in the hotel were 50/50 some we [... read more]re smelly and no way to dry your hands as the dryers did not work the other half were better condition.there was a constant smell of sewer in the main loby the food in the alacart restaurants was quite good.the buffet was well supplied most of the time.breakfast and lunch restaurants were very good.the drinks at the bars were below standard, no mohitos watery pina colada. the pool area at the bungalows was excellent and clean as well as the other pools except the pool at the villa section it was green and slimy on several ocasions

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: club amigo met our families needs

our family of 11 enjoyed this resort, Benny's for breakfast and the buffets at night worked out for us, always found something we liked to eat. will return to Club Amigo beaches amazing, childrens pool also very good. Cuba has the most friendly people ever.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Wonderful Resort!!!

My husband and I spent 11 days at Club Amigo in Guardalavaca, and we loved every minute of it!! All staff members were very friendly, and willing to help us if needed. The food was great, and the evening entertainment didn't disappoint. The entire resort was always clean. I would definitely stay there again! If anyone ever asks me if I know of any good resorts to stay at, I will recommend Club Amigo!! The cost for that trip was really reasonable too. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation [... read more]!!!!!
