Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Dated resort

With what the staff have to work with {food, maintenance, old equipment} they do a remarkable job in keeping this resort functioning. There is talk of splitting Club Amigo into two, the other being Blue Diamond. We shall see. As a comparison concerning food, a group of 8 people went next door to Grand Muthu Almirante {5 star} for dinner. We walked in with no problem. We now know where all the medium to high end food is going, and no shortage of selection. The beaches and staff to date have saved [... read more] Club Amigo. Long gone are the days of lustre. Changes are coming!

I have been to this resort 21 times and swore I will not go back,but as time goes on you say to your self the beach is fantastic,the staff have become your friends and I mean your honest friends the beds are clean and the grounds are well kept.And they will do there best if you are not happy. Yes there is a lack of food,there is always something missing from day to day if it is not butter than it is coffee even rum coke soft drinks etc; you will never understand this country. The weather w [... read more]as perfect and I had a good time, One thing I did not like at all,even with the so called option flex the plane coming home it was so so small in between the seats I cannot remember being on a plane with so little space,but we were told there was enough space for your care on suitcase there is something wrong with there suitcase policies. Enough the staff cannot help that.one more thing food wise it was 99% better than in April 2023. I would recommend this hotel but will first tell them what they can expect,not more than fair.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Good Resort, hard times in Cuba

The resort was good and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately because of the poor economic situation in Cuba provisions were low and unpredictable. They held a great New Years Party with champagne and lots of music but for me it was very loud. The villa was great and very clean and of course the service was very good. Please tip the staff well as they need your support.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Almost 3 star resort Club Amigo Guardalaveca

There are a lot of ways Club Amigo G. fulfills your expectations: they don't serve beer in plastic cups, the draft beer isn't watered down Cristale (Bucanero?), almost never ran out of toilet paper in the rooms or public washrooms, served patrons efficiently at the lobby service desk, never ran out of eggs nor bread at the buffet, beach chairs are available. But there are telltale signs of decay as well; as the grass is not cut, limited spaces at limited specialty restaurants, the daily schedule [... read more] of activities is not followed, returning guests don't receive any percs, repetitive food choices at the only buffet. You have to put these complaints in the context of a challenging Cuban economy with a shiny new competitor on the block (but $500 PP a week more expensive)--Grand Muthu Almirante Guardalaveca. Club Amigo will now always be the cheaper alternative, Brisas Guardalaveca too (although I'm told that Grand Muthu is a sprawling resort with everything far away from each other.)

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Very nice resort for the price

Our stay there for two weeks was excellent! The landscaping (a lots of trees and green gras), beach, and restaurants are very close to the beach, also pull bar. Food had variety and very good for the 3 star I ate ice-cream 2 times a day and did not lose any weight instead gain some People are very friendly, . Alcohol beside Cuban Rum and bear, whisky, gin, votka, Napoleon brandy etc. Cuba is a country with sanction for more than 50 years, now is fuel problem! Pepi & Persa

Carisol los Corales: Ghost hotel

I was in that resort 2 times about 6 years ago, right now is so much worse in everything looks like they try to fix some parts of hotel with no luck of materials,it is dirty rooms with no working lights ,problem to close every door ,problem with towels .Room was clean partialy about 4 times during 2 weeks,little dirty refrigerator . No beach intertiment ,water in ocean was cover with algas so no body use beach including my self. Food was limited and horrible (first time I came from vacation  [... read more]with lost few pounds) Bars provides only few kind of alcohol ,always problem with soft drinks, no bottle water During my time they closed 24 hours bar . Intertment only weekend .over all ghost hotel . Few years before was 300% better

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Better than 3 star

Hotel was very well for the price we paid. Grounds, room, beach area, restaurant were kept clean but some of the guests were not uneducated for that metar. Restaurant had everyday srip, labster, lasagna and other food. Best of all the, the juices in the restaurant and some bars was pure natural & organic, (no sugar & additives added)

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: My favourite resort

Why? You won’t find more helpful staff. Professional and friendly. Awesome drinks, Barristas. Can’t beat the awesome Viennese Ice Coffee at Ashley’s Coffee Bar by Roberto. The Villa, overlooking the ocean hard to compare! The house band plays at most meals and is truly delightful. Amazing, smooth, sand beaches! I was treated with so much respect, everywhere at this resort. My dental and medical attention here, was indeed exceptional. Thanks to ALL!

Carisol los Corales: Carisol Los Coralis has changed!

The room was very good. There was always hot water available for showers. But the buffet was small. There was a snack bar previously where I could get a pizza in the afternoon. This did not exist anymore. For lunch, spaghetti and pizza had always been available in a separate lunch area. This was no more. My security box took 5 days to fix. The internet was non-existent for the first 8 days. The pool was not cleaned every day. Some days the pool was very dirty. But the weather was excellent! An [... read more]d most of the hotel workers are really excellent. The taxi ride from the airport was long...3 hours and more, especially because of the terrible road conditions. There used to be bicycles available for visitors but no more. But with all the negative issues, I will still return to this hotel even though similar hotels in the Holguin area are better and more reasonable.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Club Amigo makes me happy …

I am a returning guest of club amigo for many years. This was Victor’s first time. I believe we both had a very good time. There were very few Canadians during our time there, and I’m not sure if the Cuban guests leave tips. Therefore the wait staff didn’t really go over and above. We stayed in a Villa and our maid was extremely happy and kind to have served us. Our room was clean and comfortable. There are definitely a lot of changes and things that are lacking. Something that I missed [... read more] personally was the potable water filter that was located in the garden in the lobby. As there was no water given daily in the rooms. You could buy bottled water in the store but they were small bottles and they were I think US$120 each. Other than that I don’t believe the water at the bar was bottled water as they were pouring it out of the tap or out of the soda gun. Not thrilled with the currency change to Cuban pesos but that is beyond our control. Along with the American dollar charge for everything you buy and have to pay by credit card and not buy Cuban pesos. This is very hard to comprehend. The buffet could use some work. Also, I’m not sure if there were any à la carts. They do host a returning guest luncheon however, it used to be a dinner, and that is more enjoyable definitely. The main pool was fun as always. Guardalavaca Beach is absolutely beautiful. There was always beer but I heard there was no wine. There were no soft drinks other than Fanta. It would’ve been nice to have a Sprite or Gingerale. The 24 hour bar didn’t offer much food. There were no buns for the hamburgers, and all that was offered were hamburger patties and plantain chips. Without toppings at all i.e. mustard or ketchup, tomato or onion. The entertainment crew really worked hard to make sure the guests were enjoying themselves. The Cuba day was fun and the food was good at lunch. We walked around the grounds as I wanted to show Victor how big the resort was. Very sad to see the gardens and grass unkept. We never made it over to the bungalow section. There’s many changes and I really hope they get their mojo back. The staff who were there remembered me and were kind and helpful at the front desk. I never go to Cuba with high expectations of the food at the resorts. However, being at Club Amigo gives you the opportunity to go off resort to the many quaint little restaurants in the area for a change. Can’t wait to see what changes are made the next time we return.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Love this Resort!

I love this resort, the gardens are beautiful and are taken care of. Food is wonderful as well as the entertainment and the people who work there. It was my second time being there within 3 months. They are so welcoming towards you and they do remember you as a friend.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great resort

The hotel staff were great the only thing I would like to see is more of a selection in the buffet restaurant. The villa room we stayed in was always clean and fully supplied. The 24 hour bar/ restaurant had a good selection of food. It was hard for my froend who doesn't drink to get a lemon in his water other then that a great week at the resort.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great Resort

I would like to say the overall experience with the hotel was great most staff are very friendly very informative. Our check in and check out however were NOT good experiences for 2 people we received 1 key card, we had an issue getting the 10 hours of internet with out getting a not so nice response, the ladies behind the desk seemed more interested in their private conversations or their personal phones. When travelling to Cuba it does need to be told that they only accept certain credit cards [... read more] as my sister in law and myself were left scrambling to add money to another (Canadian) based credit card. The food is okay same stuff almost daily. I did enjoy my time there and would return for sure, however again your first experience with staff is the door man and he was great but after that it is check in and again they were not very welcoming.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Amazing Resort

Amazing beaches Service was top notch Employees were the best of the best Always something to drink or eat Lots of entertainment Sunset with wine by the beach the best Swim up pool amazing Over all everyone there so friendly and helpful definitely going back… .🏝️☀️🎉🍻

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Nice resort on a beautiful beach

We returned to Club Amigo Atlantico for the second time after spending an amazing week in January. This time we travelled between March 26-April 2, 2023. We enjoyed the nice weather and went to the beach every day. Smooth white sand and crystal clear emerald water. The resort is very well kept and welcoming. Friendly personnel starting with the reception workers to the servers at the buffet and restaurants and bars. We enjoyed our room in the villa that had a balcony overlooking the ground [... read more]s and had a glimpse of the ocean and was shadowed by two palm trees. The room was comfortably furnished with the necessities including a mini fridge. The lady who did our housekeeping was friendly, kept our room clean and surprised us everyday with a different towel creation . We had WIFI in the room but the signal was week . It was much better on the balcony. We ate at the buffet 3 meals a day. Not too much variety but we found every time something to eat. At the end of our seven day stay there was not much bread nor fruit. We enjoyed the cold beer after dinner served at the table by the very friendly and attentive servers. Considering the poverty in Cuba it is amazingly well supplied with all the necessities. We definitely enjoyed our stay at this resort.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Beautiful resort

The beaches were exquisite; the staff was always helpful, friendly and efficient. The food was only OK - not great! However, there appeared to be no covid precautions. I wasn't too worried because almost everything was outdoors. The only exception was the dining room that was often crowded and no one was wearing a mask. Three of our group of 5 came back with covid, even though we had multiple vaccinations and wore masks on the plane. I would recommend this resort except for the lack of covid [... read more] protocols, especially when dining. Much more use needs to be made of open well ventilated spaces for dining.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great resort for all ages

This was my second time at this place and I would go again in a heartbeat. The dry spell had made things less green than usual but all the grounds are well kept. Food is tasty but plain and with limited choices, that said I gained six pounds in two weeks so not really a problem.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Beautiful Resort

The hotel was very good. Staff were very helpful. Our room was quite large. There was a small patio with a couple of chairs and a table. We sat outside and either read or watched the beautiful ocean view. It was very quiet . The grounds and beaches were immaculate. There were 2 large swimming pools, 2 children's pools and a swim up bar. There were 3 a la Carte restaurants, a 24 hour snack bar, as well as a buffet restaurant. There was a mini golf course, pool table and a ping pong tabl [... read more]e. There was a well equipped gym. They had kayaks and small sailboats which were included in the cost of our all inclusive stay. There were tours to take, some cheaper than others. We went to Holquin City, an hour bus ride for $15 Canadian. There was entertainment every night. They had precision aquatics, black light, bands and karaoke. We enjoyed it all. The market was a 10 minute walk away. The locals were very friendly. Most spoke some English, many spoke excellent English. At the market they accepted Canadian and American dollars, or you could pay in Cuban pesos. Club Amigo resort caters to families. We met a lot of people who have been going there for 15+ years. There was a children's play area. At no time did we feel threatened on or off of the resort. There was plenty of food at the resort. Sometimes they ran out of butter or some other minor things. Overall the food was not bad. There was lots of variety, pork, beef, lamb, fish, and lots of vegetables. The service was very good. If you like ketchup I would suggest bring it with you from Canada. Mustard was hit and miss. We were there for 2 weeks and plan to go again. Next time we will be going for at least a month, possibly 2. You must remember Cuba is a very poor third world country. Poverty abounds. We took a lot of items, bought at Dollar stores to give to people (finger nail polish, pencils, toys, feminine products, small tools, and other useful things such as tooth brushes and toothpaste), All of these things were gratefully accepted. Gum was a hot commodity as well. All in all we were very pleased and as stated above we will be going there again for a much longer time.
