Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Excellent value

Beach and staff wonderful. Would go again without hesitation.. Food not great but never starved..ala cartes really good.. Beautiful sunshine everyday 34 degrees. Cuban people very nice and thankful for any small gifts they were given

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Huge resort!

Resort is very big and different in quality: standard room, we booked , was very old and bad - leaking plumbing, no door at wardrobe, cripple dresser, no balcony. After we complained to reception and paid more $8.00/day, we moved to bungalow second floor unit with good condition and balcony. Restaurant near central lobby always overcrowded, but there are another 2 restaurants and café. All of them are with poor choice of food and slow services and bad coffee, but a lot of good coffee and drinks [... read more] at bars. Sea and beach are very good, but it is public area and a lot of local peaple with drink and food around you. Our flight was late at evening and we got at room near midnight, so one day is gone and last day we have to hang around without room and towels after 12:00 check out time - it spoiled last day too.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Excellent place to go if you just want to get away

I loved the people, as I always do, this was my 9th trip to Holguin, Cuba but first time to Club Amigo. The food, even for Cuba wasn't the best I have had but it's just a three star so you don't expect the Ritz. The beaches were amazing, pools were great and sunshine was spectacular

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: poor maintenance of the hotel - SLIP AND FELL

I slipped and fell on the last night at the hallway of the one of the villa complexes on my way back from the 10pm show from the bungalow side back to my own gardenview room, it was quiet as it was almost 11pm and it was so dark there. The water pipes from the ceiling at the complex were leaking had made the floor flooded and the tiled floors became very slippery plus the lights were very minimal there. I was just few steps before my husband before I fell and luckily his precautiousness helped h [... read more]im not from falling too. I was in pain and was unable to walk and my husband settled me sitting on the couch nearby and waiting for the villa personnel to come. I discovered my right ankle got swollen right away. My husband had noticed that there was a wet floor sign which was situated at the right hand side about six feet from the water spots. There was an old gentleman carrying his walker coming and my husband had warned him not to come forward and my husband took the wet floor sign and put it right on the watery spot immediately in order to prevent the other people from falling down. There was a villa personnel came and he had reported mt accident to the duty manager immediately and I was then sent by ambulance to the clinic and doctor there gave me a needle for inflammation. They said it was probably a ligament problem. I had reported the incident to the representative of Nolitours next morning before my departure back home. The duty manager there had asked me to send in a formal written complaint to Nolitours and to the hotel upon return. It is an ankle fracture case and I had the plaster done at the Rouge Valley Hospital and I need to be out of work and social life for at least six weeks. WHAT A NIGHTMARE JOURNEY!!!

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Good for the price

The resort is really big,4 pools, lots of bars. But no consistency with the drinks at all. Food is eatable but always the same. Staff was just OK. Rooms were just ok but in need of TLC. People on the excursions were more appreciative. Weather was great.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: 6x at the same resort!

I've been travelling to Cuba 2x every year and always book with Tripcentral. I have visited almost every beach. However I am drawn back to Club Amigo! I can't wait to go back! The service is great, beautiful beach and friendly staff!

Club Amigo Mayanabo: AMAZING PEOPLE

HOTEL: standard hotel nothing fancy but definitely acceptable for the price most pay to go there. Pool is beautiful. Ocean is okay - beach is very windy and ocean floor is rocky.ENtertainment staff are fantastic they make a real effort to get to know everyone and include everyone. Food is cuba food. not much in terms of selection. The drinks are good. the staff all around the resort are super nice and friendly. The resort is fairly close to four other resorts that you are able to go to to eat at [... read more] drink at and hang out at with no charge.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Nice resort, beautiful beach

This resort is set in a beautiful location, the scenery is beautiful. We stayed in the bungalows which are spacious and clean, the food is average but we don't go away for the food. The Cuban people are wonderful and very friendly, this is our second time to the resort and would go again.

Starfish Varadero: excelent

Super location,close to nice beach, clean green area,friendly staff, tasty good food. Swiming pools wery clin , safety boxes schould be free of chargé, nice ambicius entertiment , gym needs aircondition

Starfish Varadero: Relaxing Resort

We were very happy with our bungalow it was well situated between the pool & beach. The room was well maintained, our maid Laura was surperb. The buffet was a little sparse for the first few days, there were a few times we had to wait for clean plates & food to be replenished, and it seemed like they were understaffed. By mid-week there was a definite improvement. It was a good value.

Starfish Varadero: good for the money

Food was good, hotel clean, friendly employees, beautiful beach, was pleased with everything. Being a 3 star it meet what I expected. The pools where good, the Italian a la carte was amazing. Cuban was good. I like to eat outside and I thought the buffet could have an outdoor area to eat would have been nice.

Starfish Varadero: Much Better Resort Than Expected

The staff were very friendly and eager to please; the grounds were well kept and really nicely laid out; the beach was absolutely stunning; the food was quite adequate with many options and breakfast very nice; service overall was very good especially if you provide tips on a regular basis. Our room was more than adequate as everything worked from the TV to the shower and cleaned every day with fresh towels and fresh bottled water. We provided our maids with small gifts each day and each day the [... read more] fresh towels were arranged on the bed in very artistic ways. Finally the Cuban people we deal with when in this country are friendly and mostly speak whatever language is required; and above all we always feel safe.

Starfish Varadero: Awesome Trip

We stayed 14 days at Club Amigo Aguas Azules from March 31st - April 14! We had a wonderful time. We stayed in a bungalow that was clean and spacious. The grounds were beautiful, the beach was amazing and the food was very good. The staff was absolutely awesome, Rocky, Ismaray, Yunier, the bar staff the grounds keepers, the front desk crew, every staff person we encountered were friendly and happy all the time! We had a wonderful time at Aguas Azules!!!

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Fun resort

My husband and I booked Club Amigo last minute and got an AMAZING deal! We were a little concerned about staying at a three star resort as we had only stayed at four star resorts previously. We went with no expectations and we're very pleasantly surprised! Upon arrival check in was very fast and efficient and friendly. The room was a little old and shabby, but was clean and functional. There were no towels when we arrived but the cleaner arrived within minutes with fresh towels for us. On day tw [... read more]o we asked to move to an upper level room just out of personal preference and we were happily accommodated. The things that make the resort less than 4star are the wonky air conditioner that turned on and off in the night and beeped intermittently, even when it was turned off, the three days that the hot water ran out and we had to have cold showers, the mismatched slightly stained towels (they we're clean enough), and the buffets which had very little selection and no outdoor tables (breakfast at Benny's, lunch at the snack bar, and dinner at the a la cart restaurants were all good). The beach is fabulous and had lots of beach chairs. (A towel on the sand is great too)! The snorkelling out on the reef is good. We took out a paddle boat and took turns snorkelling off the paddle boat. Or swim out from the pirate beach and go toward the Brisas resort. The bars are plentiful, so bring your babba keg and enjoy the party!

Club Amigo Mayanabo: Fair

There is good improvement at this hotel, they offer another bar at Pool area, personal was very us-full, rooms are standard, pillows are like flat, need more upgrades, but over all was nice, too much wind at the beach.

Starfish Varadero: Great resort - poor management

Not my first Cuba trip but maybe my last. The experience was so off-putting that I must stay away for a while. The resort itself is quite nice though it is dilaptated to an extent. I didn't really mind that things were worn or old or somewhat broken. What got me was that the staff seem unphased by the years of dirt that clings to everything - walls, floors, tables, chairs, banisters - (you get my drift). The majority of the staff came off as the laziest, dirtiest staff I've encountered at any re [... read more]sort in the caribeans. There is no reason for the resort to be that dirty. NO EXCUSE. It does not take a lot of money to clean - just a good work ethic. I'm beside myself with frustration at what could be a really great resort if only the staff cared more for it. FOR EXAMPLE: we asked the waiter if he could clean our table, so he grabbed a dirty napkin from a dirty table to wipe down ours!! GROSS. At the beach we watched a security guard pick up garbage and cigarette butts only to throw them in the bushes while the garbage was only a foot away?? A glass table was broken on my first night there and a fellow patron swept the glass into a small pile to help the cleaning staff. 6 nights later, the pile of glass was still at the same spot. NOT ACCEPTABLE. I'm a northerner, so fancy is not important, and I can sleep in a tent in the middle of the bush and portage my canoe to a lake so I can fish to eat, but to be immersed in human dirt was tough.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Club Amigo April 2015

I was extremely pleased with my vacation. First time to Cuba and I was a bit skeptical. Had perfect weather which was a bonus. Everything went well. Good flight. Bus trip and the guide to the resort were very interesting. Resort itself was impressive, nicely spread out and not all packed into a high rise. I had concerns about how the food would be but was very pleased. I've been to a fair number of islands and Mexico. The food was a good or better than the places I've been. Staff at the resort w [... read more]ere excellent. Lot of fun.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Very nice resort

This resort was very busy when we went for the two weeks, however, we enjoyed the hotel, the grounds and the food, our excursions were very nice and the beach was exceptional. I went scuba diving and it was a wonderfull experience diving in tropical waters. the drinks were cold and amazing, the cappuccinos were hot and the beach was clean and very nice. The main beach is a public beach and we were bothered by locals to some extent but not to excess. plenty of security and police to watch over th [... read more]e guests. the grounds were very clean as was the buildings. We would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a nice place to spend a week or two.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great place for 3 stars

We had an awesome trip.. For a 3 star resort is was great!! I would definitely recommend going here. Reasonably priced and lots to do. The food is plentiful but not overly creative but this seems to be the normal in Cuba. Staff was friendly and helpful. Always something to do. Nightly entertainment was terrific! No trouble with water or plumbing. Beds are not the most comfortable but were clean and lump free. If you want fairly quiet are choose the Villa section. If you want close to the nightly [... read more] activities choose bungalows.. and for the daytime party area stay in the main hotel area. We had a Villa with an ocean view and enjoyed it thoroughly.. Definitely would recommend going here.. Upgrades are being done to the grounds.. Beaches were soft and clean :)

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: nice beach, but horrible resort

Horrible resort, four people in one room, no water, no toilet paper, mould on the walls. The food was bar far the worst i have ever had. I've been to cuba many times and was expecting sub par food but this was the worst. The bars had no ice, cola, vodka and i witnessed them watering down their alcohol.
