Carisol los Corales: Ok resort

Food was terrible. Poor sanitation, but better than off the resort. Grounds were clean. Staff very friendly and most able to communicate in English. Pool and pool area super. Swim up bar great. Bars were awesome.

Starfish Varadero: Cuba on a budget , not the Hilton !

Third time there stayed in bungalows. Same food , no hot water , beach is still the best feature. This hotel would be great if they would update and do some routine maintenance . Next time will pay a little more for newer hotel as this one was built in 1977.One toaster in the whole resort @ the buffet doesn't work . Tried to rent mopeds 5 days in row but never open so had to take dd bus or cabs.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Best winter getaway

This is a great resort for a winter getaway. During our stay (Jan 2015) temperature was between 28 - 30 C with lots of sunshine, just enough wind and an occasional midnight rainstorm. The grounds are in excellent shape with a lot of variations and hidden corners. The beach is large, sandy, and great for all kind of activities, including swimming in the ocean. Our room was spacious, clean, tidy, and well-maintained, including a hair dryer that actually worked! Being one of the oldest resorts, it  [... read more]is well-established and well-maintained. Many pools, restaurants and bars to chose from. 24-Hour bar and restaurant was a nice touch and well-separated from the rooms to avoid disturbing the sleeping folk. Nightly entertainment was great and we heard that it is the best among all the resorts in Cuba. The food is regular Cuba fair plus. The two main buffets we have dined in had fresh fish grill and a reasonably good choice of foods every meal. I can't talk enough about the fresh, ripe, and delicious papaya that we got addicted to. It is a large and popular resort with visitors from Canada, France, Italy, Germany, UK, and many South-American and Central-American countries. The only insignificant issue I would bring-up would be the popular and noisy bar in the main building and the occasional bartender that I thought was a bit more 'jaded' that other resorts we have seen in Cuba. A very portion of the bartenders, servers, and attendants, however, are respectful, nice, sweet, and hard-working. Club Amigo Guardalavaca comes highly recommended from us.We stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every moment of it.

Carisol los Corales: You get what you pay for

I just got back from Club Amigo; this would be my second time going to this resort. I had a wonderful time the first time, the staff was wonderful, the room was great and the food was mediocre (don't go to Cuba for the food lol) This time I went there was a mix up on which side we were booked at, we had to go back and forth to Carisol and Los Coroals. We got moved to three different rooms before we finally got in, which cost us a whole day. The reception staff were not helpful for the most part; [... read more] several managers were rude and did nothing for us for the inconvenience. Very unprofessional experience to say the least!!! On a positive note, the bartenders, maids and entertainment staff were wonderful! They definitely go above and beyond to make sure you have a good time at the resort. The food was better this time around but I am guessing its the time of year because it was busier. All and all the resort is a good place to have a good time with friends, not a fancy place and don't expect much from this place, you get what you pay for.

Club Amigo Mayanabo: sunshine!

We found the staff and services to be consistently good, the grounds and property well-maintained generally. The ocean was fantastically warm and the sun shone warmly throughout our stay - what's not to like?

Starfish Varadero: A great Holiday

The 2 Week Trip was fantastic. The Bungalow we stayed in exceeded our expectations. The service was great. A suggestion would be a little more information on the amenities ie A La Cartes, Towel exchange etc. The staff was friendly at this resort. The food service could improve some we had to wait sometimes for cutlery and other essentials. Suggested maybe different meal times or 2 servers working during lunch and dinner, The location was perfect. The beaches were outstanding and close to the hot [... read more]el. The resort was clean and the maid service was great. If you are looking for and inexpensive vacay definitely recommend this resort. See you next year. :))

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Awesome time!

For a 3 Star Hotel, it was a fantastic deal! Though we did bonus out on an awesome room... I'm not sure our stay would have been as great if we had gotten a different room. I know friends from my group (there were 9 of us), had issues with a few things... but like I said, we got lucky!! THANK YOU!!!

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Friendships rekindled

It amazes me how friendly the visitors and workers of the resort have been. Club amigo surpasses others resorts in making you feel welcome each year and wants to make you come back. My friends met for the second time and loved the entertainment, a la carts, bright new colours , sports, and surrounding life of Cuba.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: excelent resort on it`s class

Great friendly staff , kept very clean , great location , very safe ,the public relation takes care of any issues you may have , excellent place for low budget people and for relaxation , I am going back and recommend it .

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great resort

Everything in walking distance. Great location. Clean rooms. The snorkeling was great, just 200 ft from the beach. Beautiful corral reef and lots of fish. The staff was great. The entertainment was different every night and went on for about 2 hrs. We had bands and a verity of shows. Enjoyed them all.

Starfish Varadero: Great Resort!

I enjoyed a fantastic 7 nights at Aguas Azules in Varedero, Cuba. My room was clean and well air-conditioned, as were the majority of the indoor locations at the resort (dining room, lobby, etc.). The service was very friendly at the bar, in the dining room, as well as room service. The swimming pools were awesome, and so was the beach! Night entertainment was very professional and enjoyable. The only real negative was mosquitoes in the evening. Had I been forewarned, I would have brought insec [... read more]t repellent.

Carisol los Corales: Very nice resort

Clean and nicely kept .That was our fifth times in these hotels.See was varm and clean Wee use to goo in water 8.30-9.oo am .You can stay in a hour with no problem. For food you find something you like .

Starfish Varadero: Nice resort

My 6 year old daughter and I travelled to this resort for 2 weeks in jan , we had a great time ! The pools were always nice and clean (a little on the chilly side though) The beach was amazing !! Beautiful turquise water. Billy (the beach security) did an amazing job to make sure you could relax and not be bugged by locals trying to sell you things! The staff were all amazing, the room was alwaus clean and the food was decent. Make sure you check out the double decker bus into town, 5 pesos and  [... read more]you can get on and off as may times as you would like.

Carisol los Corales: Amazing resort!

Good resort for the price! The beach is nice with bar,mfood and coco water on place. However, there are algues along most beach area. Beautiful landscape around. Weather and water temperature are simply amazing. The fish restaurant at Carisol is delicious,food overall is average (home style, nothing too fancy) however it is all fresh and tasty. The only thing is the amount of flies at Carisol... I hope they will do something with them because it is a serious problem. At Corales however, there ar [... read more]e none... The staff is usually nice and friendly, especially if you speak a little español! The rooms are very nice with functionning conditioner, clean bathroom and huge windows. The water ballet was simply spectacular (from all the shows at night)

Starfish Varadero: Amazing beach.. everything else meh

The first night we were there our room was a total disaster, thank god for the Sunwing rep that was such a help the next day and changed rooms. The resort itself is old and not many things on the resort were open. Nightly entertainment was very good but not much after dinner time which sucked. The rooms were clean and the maid was so helpful! First time in Cuba and didnt like the food, first couple days nothing was labelled. Next time Id definitely try another resort.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: OK-average resort.

This resort was a decent enough resort for the money we paid. It wasn't terrible but definitely could be better in some aspects. Check-in was definitely not quick and easy and the front desk staff always seemed to be overwhelmed. The bar staff were pretty good. The housekeeping staff were awesome, our room was spotless. We booked a Tropical room which was pretty average. Very clean but no balcony. The buffet dining room staff were very attentive. The buffet food was ok. We didn't go hungry but t [... read more]here is definitely no variety in the food. Lunch and dinner selections are exactly the same and it is the same all week. The omelettes are good in the morning and the personal pizzas for lunch and dinner are good too. The Ashley Cafe is a definite must. Good coffees and the two 'baristas' are wonderful people. We only went to the one a-la-carte restaurant (La Vega) and it was great. I would consider bringing extra beach towels with you as they seem to run out very quickly. The first two days we didn't have any beach towels and we met some people who weren't able to exchange their towels for 4 days. We were told that something happened to the laundry machines. The pools are very nice and the beach is excellent. Tip: there is a little restaurant on the public part of the beach that make excellent pizzas for about 6 pesos. There is a bank on the resort property so exchanging money is very easy. The flea market just outside the resort is quite handy for buying your typical souvenirs. The vendors change daily. All in all we had a decent time. It's all in what you make of it right? I would consider going back if it was a very good price.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Amazing resort, horrible room!

The resort was amazing, great and friendly people. The resort was clean, food was delicious, drinks were good but the downfall was the room. It was small, very old looking and feeling and the bed sucked! All in all though I had an amazing time with my husband!

Starfish Varadero: Everything was closed!

The hotel itself was outdated. Room was nothing special but made it work. staff were very very nice yet very slow to deal with anything. Beach was beautiful though and very clean. No night life besides the 40 min shows at night. I would come back to cuba but not to this resort.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Amazing resort

Has a fantastic time when i was there! been there 3times! Love the pool and swim up bar! Also the food was good the entertainment and service was also good. I also liked the fact that you can walk around the small cityThe locals were great! And got to see a lot of history as well. The beach was also nice

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Stayed for 6 hrs then changed resorts!

We got to the hotel at 2am and were quickly checked in. We were brought to our rooms and we were absolutely shocked. Very dingy looking. The beds were concave, one worse than the other to the point you couldn't put them together! The ceiling was so low and dirty and you felt like you didn't want to touch anything! We asked to change rooms right away but apparently there were none available and were told to wait until the morning. We tried to stay optimistic and went to the snack bar to get somet [... read more]hing to eat. We were in line to get burgers and the chef was grilling them in the same pile of oil, the burger meat looked a little grey. And all around us were a group of kids completely wasted and the snack bar was just a mess. The next morning, no rooms were available and we had seen enough. At 9am we asked our tour rep to switch hotels and by 1130 am we felt we were in the lap of luxury at the Blau and finally i felt at peace and could relax. There we had met 2 other couples who had also switched from Club Amigo! I went for price amd i realized than paying an extra $300 makes all the difference in the world! If you're going on vacation you have to make it worth it!
