Home away from home

We stayed at the Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca recently and had a fantastic experience! This resort offers incredible value, especially for those who appreciate a warm, community feel over a standard luxury hotel. The Staff: The absolute highlight of this resort. The staff are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make guests feel like family. It is no wonder so many people return year after year. Beautiful Beach: The location on Guardalavaca’s stunning beach is perfect. The white [... read more] sand and warm waters are ideal for swimming and snorkelling right off the shore. Great Atmosphere: The grounds are beautifully landscaped. There is always something to do, from non-motorized water sports like kayaking and catamarans to bingo, darts, mini golf and entertaining evening shows. Room Tip: The rooms are cleaned daily with comfy beds and fluffy pillows. Value for Money: There was always a variety to choose from each night. The a la carte restaurants, La Espada and El Fuete, are a must-try. Overall, if you are looking for an affordable paradise with a genuine Cuban soul, this is the place to be!

Home sweet Home

This resort is our second home. We have being going to this resort since 2013. The staff are amazing. Didn't see one mosquito. The food is the food. Did ala carte dinners, went to 24 hour for breakfast. The beach is beautiful, the sun is hot and the beer is cold. Rooms are clean. Can't wait to return next year.

This is an amazing resort for a 2 1/2 star rating.

This is an amazing resort even though it's not a 5 star resort, but because the staff are amazing. Also the repeat tourist are happy and friendly and make your stay more relaxing and enjoyable. The food selection is basic but good, you will not starve. The beach is great and the pool is clean both are good to cool off in after being in the hot sun. Sometimes there are shortages in some food and booze but that is only because of the lack of tourist. The more tourist the resort gets the more suppl [... read more]ies they can purchase. We have been going to this resort for 17 years and will go back again because I really enjoy it there. I also want to thank Rick Lockhart from Tripcentral for all his help booking my trips over the years, I really enjoy dealing with Rick because of his helpfulness and friendly personality.

This is an amazing resort for a 2 1/2 star rating

This is an amazing resort for a 2 1/2 star rating. The staff are great they will try and do whatever it takes to make your stay pleasant, the rooms are old but nice. The food is ok, you will not starve again remember it's a 2 1/2 star resort. The beaches are fantastic, nice white soft sand and the ocean is beautiful and warm. We booked the trip with the help of Rick Lockhart, who did an excellent job.

Our romantic getaway.

The beach was amazing. The food was okay, there were options of chicken, lamb and beef. I would have liked a little more of a fruit selection but I did not go hungry. The resort gave us a complimentary lobster dinner which was very much appreciated. They are guys just off the resort with horse and carriage. We went on a ride for an hour and it only cost $20. Make sure you bring your bug spray, I was covered in bites. I would pack toilet paper too. Seems like they are short of something on it [... read more]. And we picked up a couple bottles at duty free Our vacation was short and sweet and we would definitely return.

Third trip already this year to Club Amigo!

I’ve been to Club Amigo 4 times. Once with family, once with a friend, and twice alone. The resort is clean, beach is breathtaking, staff are amazing, and the guests are lovely. Everyone complains about the food but I’ve never gone hungry. Probably not the best spot if you are picky or have dietary restrictions. The drinks are always flowing. I can’t wait to go back again.

Best beaches

Club Amigo is definitely our home away from home. It has the most beautiful beach. The staff are very friendly and truly make you feel at home. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. Lots of amenities. And has many off resort restaurants within walking distance. We went on a Jeep Safari adventure and it was definitely the best excursion we have been on in 15 years of going to Club Amigo. The excursion allowed me to drive a Jeep in Cuba, we drove speed boats in the bay, stopped for coffee, rod [... read more]e horses to a beautiful vista before we enjoyed a delicious lunch.

A Pleasant Surprise

Hotel has many public seating areas, great coffee bar, rooms were clean with comfy bed for Cuba, staff were great, nice pool, snack bar and beautiful beach area. More than what we thought we would get for the price.

Our home away from home

Hubby and I just returned from two weeks at Club Amigo. We have been there many times and know what the issues are in Cuba at this time but we definitely did not have any problems at all. As always, the staff are super friendly and helpful, the resort is very clean, we did not find any shortages (except for rum, which we do not drink anyway), Plenty of wine, beer, spirits. Food was plentiful, you will not go hungry here. Nightly entertainment was wonderful. Weather was perfect and the beache [... read more]s are beautiful. We love this place and will definitely be going back again next year!

Perfect family resort!

Hotel is on the good location close to the beach, grounds are well kept rooms are clean plenty food friendly staff serve you whit the smile , safe place best entertainment there is a something to do all day:)

Great resort!

Nice hotel, small, easy to walk around. Beach was small but not busy (easy to get a chair) we had a blast renting out the paddleboard. Food was o.k. but a bit repetitive but we don't go to Cuba for the food. Rico's pizza beside resort on beach (not included, gotta pay yourself) was good to switch things up. The coffee drinks from Ashley cafe were amazing, went several times a day. The staff were all great, very professional, friendly and helpful.

Disappointed

We were looking forward to being in a bungalow for our two week stay but had to move to a room in the hotel. Workers shut the water off at night when they left for the day and turned it on when they remembered the next day. We were unable to use the facilities after seven in the evening. No toilet and no showers between 7pm and 8am. They advertised a fridge and Tv in the bungalow. There was no fridge. We did have the TV but it was not connected. There was no Ariel. We did ask and the front desk [... read more] said they would look into it. The 3rd day we were there, the hydro was shut off as it happens throughout Cuba. The resort turned their Generator on during dinner time then again when it got dark outside. The bungalows are not connected to the Generator. I asked to be moved inside the hotel for the night as I require a c-pap machine and cannot sleep without it. We ended up staying in what they call a seaview room, no fridge even though they promised to get one but the TV did work. Overall we enjoyed our vacation because of the company we had, but we are disappointed because we did not get a room we paid extra for. We were in three different rooms which created extra stress, and all the unpacking and packing involved. Club Garcia should not be renting out the bungalows because they are not ready for guests. A credit towards a future trip would be appreciated.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca

Do not book bungalows not ready. I did had no TV, fridge and power went out twice had to down grade to main hotel. Main hotel no hot water just like warm. Only had chicken legs ate that for 4 days for lunch and dinner. Did get pork once. Only rum no wine. Food was always cold in buffet. The staff were amazing and very helpful. I was there for a week and had 3 different rooms.

Hoping for a better experience next time!

We all know Cuba faces its own challenges. Club Amigo definately has its own issues. Lazy staff. Toilet paper shortages. Below average food. Being rated a 2.5 star to a 3 star online? Id give it a 1 star.

My home away from home !!

Club Amigo didn't dissapoint , the staff are all so friendly and willing to help with anything you might need . The food is ok but it's Cuba so you have to understand that and go with an open mind and make the best of what they have to offer . We didn't go hungry by no means !!! Rooms were always clean and very well kept grounds . The beaches are so beautiful and clean . I can't wait to return to my favorite place where they all make you feel so welcomed .

Amazing beach

The best part of our two-week vacation was the fantastic weather and the beach. PROS: Love the location. Beach is perfect (the main reason we go to Cuba). Nice path to walk along the ocean. Quiet AC, always hot water, no power failures. Personnel at the restaurants/bars were super friendly and efficient. Plenty of wine, beer, & coffee. Public areas were clean and well-kept. CONS: Broken safe. TV in 2nd room never functioned. Rooms had lovely views, but were not cleaned properly. Filthy floor  [... read more]- cleaned only after complaint. Plenty of food, but SAME dishes every day. If only the chef would be more innovative with his meals? No specialty drinks, i.e. pina colada, mojito. What I don’t understand is that, at the privately-owned beach bar next to our resort, you could BUY all these specialty drinks? How come they had the ingredients? Irritating smoke in common areas. Guests pay no attention to the “No smoking” signs and smoke anywhere they please. The WORST part and the ONLY reason why I would not return to this resort is: Too much annoying LOUD MUSIC & talking over the PA, which starts around 10:00 AM, and continues throughout the day, sometimes well into the night, keeping us awake and making a relaxing vacation impossible!

The Staff Are The BEST

This was our 3rd time to Club Amigo it is definitely our home in Cuba! Although you could only get omlettes for the week our favorite waitress was able to get us eggs so we could have them over easy. They didn't have butter on some days but there was always something to eat. I don't eat pork or beef but was able to have chicken and fish and salad daily. We had a beautiful renovated room on the 4th floor with a great view of the ocean. The resort is split and the villas now belong to the Starfish [... read more] Resort which is adult only. Club Amigo is so family friendly and the staff just love children. Special shout out to Inalvis, Jamilay, Dorisella, Rudolpho, Danilo, Anna, Mirta, Glexi, Peachy & Jorlan the Entertainer is fabulous! for their EXCELLENT service. The night shows are across the street by the bungalow pool, with it's own bar. Bingo everyday is so much fun. We also like that you can walk off resort and explore the village and nearby town. We will definitely be back :)

Amazing beach

We recently spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Hotel Amigo in Guardalavaca, Cuba. The hotel's friendly staff, beautiful beach, and lush surroundings made for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with stunning ocean views. The hotel's location on Guardalavaca's stunning beach was perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and simply soaking up the sun. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Amigo for its excellent value, beautiful setting, and warm hospitality.

Amazing Weather

Overall, my experience at the hotel was excellent, with outstanding customer service, a beautiful beach, great weather, and enjoyable entertainment options. The only downside was the significant noise disturbance from loud people and music, particularly between midnight and 4 in the morning.
