Starfish Varadero: ok resort

Dont get a room near the disco. Its very loud till three am. Food was not the best, but that seems to be all over Cuba. Beach is the best in Cuba. You can walk in both directions for kms.Staff were very friendly. Rocky at the front door is wonderful.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great Value, recommended.

Cool,comfortable and quiet bungalow with access to everything. Great snorkelling, better than expected food available. Good housekeeping and friendly staff. Glad to go back another time. Our kids, young adults, enjoyed everything with the exception of a sewer smell outside of their bungalow door.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Amazin NATURE & people

if you are looking for luxury - this is not the place to find it, but EVERYTHING ELSE is just fantastic! rooms are bellow modest - so you don't spend time there :-) but well kept and clean... food is somewhat average and a bit boring, not enough FISH and other SEA food... high point = YOGURT :-) pow point = bread... swim up bar was my HEAD OFFICE (10:00 to 4:00) :-) it in the middle of everything and close to the BEAUTIFUL SANDY BEACH where you go for salt tasting and walks! NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT  [... read more]is GR8 - you should not miss it, unless you meet the EUROPEAN girl of your life :-) plenty of French Canadians and Europeans... they are LAUGHING at our 1 week 'vacations' :-( they mostly stay 3-4 weeks, some even LONGER... ALL STUFF and domestic people are EXCELLENT, always with a smile and ready to HELP! DON'T be 'shy' in tipping, 1 PEZO will not hurt you and it is BIG for them

Carisol los Corales: Great Resort

Diving was great with everyone very helpful, lots to see. Rooms are clean, cleaning staff very helpful and friendly Great staff. I have returned four times and I always enjoy myself. If you don't want fancy this is the place for you.

Hotel Caracol: Awesome Second Stay

This was my second time to Club Amigo Caracol! The weather was beautiful and the staff were fantastic! They have made some really great changes such as relocating the snack bar to make it closer to the beach entrance. Our room was perfect and very clean everything functioned well and we always had hot water. Overall a great resort with lots of bang for your buck! I hope to return again soon.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: worst vacation ever

I was not treated well at the club Amigo I had no hot water in my shower told them everyday .food was awful staff was not friendly. Waste of good hard earned money and I love cuba would not go back there

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: A good deal on economy pricing

Overall, for a 3 star Cuban hotel, I find it great, large and accommodating. Since it is only a 3 star, of course it's not top rate, but for those who only want to vacation economy class, it has pretty much all to offer for a reasonable price. I have gone back there four times in 5 years now.

Starfish Varadero: Bungalows are the best, food is the worst.

As we all know, the food is horrible in Cuba and this is the third resort I've been too and it was the worst. But the bungalows closest to the beach are amazing. Best rooms ever! The staff is great. The beach is fantastic, of course. I would reccommend this hotel if you're looking for a cheap getaway but you have to get the bungalows.

Carisol los Corales: Good value

Hotel was ok Staff was very friendly and always helpful Beach bar was handy Views were awesome Beach was not our favourite...very weedy...and rocky...but good for snorkelling Pool needs some work Overall good value for the money you will pay

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: friendly warm resort

the resort is great , food is good , people are awesome, and the beach is fantastic. the room needs a little updating , but overall the trip was amazing . the weather was hot and sunny , service at all the amenities was really good.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Good trip

Good location, good beach, good service. easy going, good price. I, 91 years old, have been there several times. I will be there again in November. I took part in excursions. The internet is too slow.

Carisol los Corales: great time excellent staff

nothing to complain about, remember this is Cuba and it was great! Weather, people, food....you wont go hunger. I am going back and will continue to travel here! It is a great place for just couples and for kids.

Hotel Caracol: Great Value for money

This is not a 5 star resort, but then we didn't pay for a 5 star resort. We stayed at Club Amigo Caracol the end of November 2013 and were pleasantly surprised by our room, the food, the pool and the staff. Our room was bright and clean with excellent A/C, and updated bathroom, the food was excellent, truly delicious and reasonable variety,(make sure you try the grill on the beach) and the staff were friendly and anxious to make sure we had a good week. The beach is not my favourite beach in Cub [... read more]a but if you are a wind surfer, you will love it, but the pool was clean and spacious with lots of lounges and shaded areas, so we didn't mind. The evening shows were fun and for those that like the night life, there are two local clubs right at the end of the driveway so you can just walk to it. We travelled with Hola Sun tours and flew on Cubana Air. Our tour company agents were very helpful and the complimentary excursion was well worth taking the day from the resort giving a chance to see the nearby countryside and understand how the average Cuban lives. The only problem with the flight was the stop in Varadero ended up being twice as long as it should've been making it very late getting to the resort. Fortunately the resort kept the buffet open late for us and were very quick to get us registered and to our rooms in a timely fashion. If you are looking for an inexpensive vacation where you can have a lot of fun and make some great new friends, then give Club Caracol a try. It is very important to remember, that any trip is what you make of it.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Great value!

Be sure to book either a villa or a bungalow close to the beach and you won't be disappointed. Resort is great value for money and although it is older it won't disappoint if you aren't expecting 5 stars. The food was surprisingly quite good and above our expectations.

Club Amigo Mayanabo: Great hotel in this area

Enjoyed my two weeks stay. Neat and clean hotel, good service and caring personal. Food is nicely cooked and presented. Have nothing to say about drinks as don't drink alcohol:) Animation team is lot of fun.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Friendly and safe

It is always a pleasure to return to Club Amigo. This time we booked in the Villas as it was best suited for our family. People were friendly and the food had improved from the last stay two years ago. I disliked the fact that there was a considerable amount of black mold growing on the walls of our rooms keeping a musty smell at all times. The beach was awesome and numerous umbrella had been added for our comfort throughtout the resort. I am not if I will return as it was our 7th trip to this e [... read more]xact location.

Carisol los Corales: Perfect location, very nice personal.

Room service good, publics places good, entertainment very good beautiful dancer's. Food not bad for the price. Weather all way good. I recommend trip to the city Santiago da Cuba for every friend and I have a plan to go for the third time.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Didn't expect much, had a nice trip.

Arrived late at night at the hotel, but several employees were there for the two buses that arrived, check-in was efficient. We booked a villa and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We happened to have a room with two bathrooms and a separate living room with sofas, tables and chairs. Perfect for our little family. Food was ok, we tried several "À la carte" restaurants, they offered almost the same menu, don't expect too much. The buffet in the bungalow section had the best food in our  [... read more]opinion. The restaurant in the villa section serve the best breakfast and the waitresses were very nice. We would go back, it's only a 3 stars, if you don't expect too much, you won't be disapointed.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Old and Tired

This resort is past it's prime. It's old and falling into disrepair. The hotel rooms all have problems. We traded rooms 3 times, and then accepted a room that was the least terrible. Many smokers made it stinky to walk around in the foyer.

Starfish Varadero: Good Value - Great Beach - Friendly staff

Came back for a second time - Was not disappointed, Really good value. Had a medical situation that was quickly handled very professionally. My wife and I loved to walk the beach. Would recommend to others.
