Resonance Musique Marea: Strongly recommended

Resonance Musique hotel is a highly recommended destination. Rooms are renovated meeting standards of 5 stars hotel. Food is partially served on à la carte basis that provides good quality of meal. Access to beach with chairs always avilable is 50 m from your room. Service staff is every kind always ready to help. Here is an example. When I left my cell phone in taxi, one of entrainment crew, Henry, upon seeing my distress iniciated number of phone calls and recoved my phone. Definitely I will r [... read more]eturn.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Amazing scenery

If you are looking for the best scenery in Cuba, this your spot overlooking the Sierra mountains on one side and the Caribbean ocean on the other. If you are looking for food, go on a Cruse. The dark sand takes a while to get used to as it always looks like your feet are dirty.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Major Facelift on an Old Favourite

There have been a great number of changes since our last visit - pre covid. All of the improvements were great as well as the staff. The only downside was the food. While they did the best they could with what they had the supply chain was basically very bad, next to non-existant. They did have on site new consultants from Italy which I hope will iron out the problems. Would recommend this resort if I was sure the food problem has been sorted

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Breathtaking views from the Farrallon Hotel

Well kept property with an amazing friendly staff. You must remember though Cuba is experiencing shortages. The odd day there might be no eggs or milk for your coffee ( pack some coffee whitener if you like) no Coke or pop at times but always juice. There is plenty of rum, tequila etc. The red wine has been very nice , only a few days no wine. The scenery is so beautiful , photos can not capture the mountains and sea like when you see it in person. Artists would love to paint or sketch fro [... read more]m the Farrallon views. You get to use both resorts which is so nice too ! They both have bars, pools, restaurants and just a short walk between them. There are horse and buggies or a golf cart for those who would rather not walk it. It might be a little boring for teens

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: nice resort but lousy food

no coffee, no eggs, no coffee for 3 days no fresh fruit,only guayabes etc.no bananas in Cuba? no hot water in shower. 1 star Service was ok when available also terrible long two hour bus ride to hotel after a later flight

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Amazing resort and people

We stayed in the building on the hill. Rooms and the grounds were clean, staff was friendly and not pushy. It was some misunderstanding with entertainment in the evening. It would be nice to have more info on the bulletin board. But Public relations person was at his desk most of the time. I guess we had to ask him more questions

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Marea was cancelled, we went to Cayo largo, Starfish

HOTEL STARFISH AT CAYO LARGO WAS GREAT THANKS TO SUNWING WHO TOOK OVER RESORTS. FOOD, BEACH, ROOM EXCELLENT. BEST VACATION EVER. WEATHER ALSO NICE. INTERNET WAS FREE BUT WITH PROBLEMS. HOPE TO GO THERE AGAIN.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Good value for money but there are problems!!

I have visited this resort every February for the past 9 or 10 years. Many Canadians love this resort and return every year. It is a great off the beaten track kind of place with lots of nature surrounding it. And they keep it clean.It is a peaceful environment and has lots to recommend it. The beach is good and easily accessed from the Marea part of the property. However,I had several issues with the place. First of all the journey to and back is tough. It took us almost 11 to 12 hours to  [... read more]get there and back each time, which is about the time it takes to get to Europe from Canada.The main problem is the long bus ride from the airport to the hotel factored in after the three hour wait at the airport and the four hour flight.Some people may not mind this but as I get older, I find this increasingly difficult.I was exhausted getting there and after coming back. The other factor is the lack of variety with regard to food. On some days we had only one type of fruit available, whereas three years ago we had a choice of three or four fruits. There was no chicken so I ate pork and beef for a week. Sometimes there wasn't much bread. Soft drinks were scarce. The last day there were problems getting milk with coffee at the bar.There was no jam and few cookis or pastries at breakfast. I have food allergies and my partner is vegetarian so I felt we were always scavenging for a decent meal. I don't expect them to supply gluten-free or vegetarian options but there just wasn't a lot of variety. The entertainment was very mediocre. The house band is good but they need to up their game with new songs. Comedy routines were dated,sexist and horrible. Only the mariachi band was good and they were great but they played once a week. I know Cuba is having serious issues right now but still I feel compelled to decribe what I saw. There are excursions but the place is far from any major city and the excursions are expensive and limited. I would recommend this place but with reservations. If you love nature and don't care much about culture or food variety etc. this place is good value for your money. If not, I would think twice about going there. And bring food such as chips,peanut butter or jam with you.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Relaxing at its best

We keep coming back for the overall experience. First is to again look at the amazing Maestra mountains ,the ocean and the mango trees.A walk along the beach for a mid morning Spanish coffee then back to the Farllon for lunch then relax around the pool.It is up to you to do as much as you want or as little such as going into town on a horse and buggy or a horse back ride into the mountains.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Loved it for years!

The staff here are extremely helpful and friendly. We stayed at the Farrilon this past February and our room was beautiful. The grounds are also well kept and colourful. The food is very basic but tasted great and we never went hungry! We didn't go on any excursions but loved scuba diving with Osvaldo.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Resort

We travel to Cuba frequently throughout the winter and this was our first time at this resort. The resort itself was charming but the problem was with some of the staff. We are used to staff that takes your order and delivers it to you while at the Coffee/Snack Bar at other resorts and this one you needed to stand in line to order. When on the beach you the guest are also required to drag your beach chair to the spot that you would like to use as where we normally travel to either the lif [... read more]eguard or someone else will carry your lounge for you. It is these simple things the staff do to make your experience a greater vacation and a more personalized experience.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Unique Location and Resort Complex on a very human scale

I divide my my comments between Marea Del Portilllo by the sea and companion guest section Farallon superbly placed on the Sierra Maestra slope nearby. Marea, long established, gets better for food with time.I enjoyed the seafood choices. And room updates likewise. Ease of finding swimming pool, curved beach and beverage bars and dining facilities rates high. Availability of paddle craft advertised in promo material continues an irritant. Individual staff are themselves helpful. Organization of [... read more] expected services not so much. The dimension and benefits provided freely at Farallon is a bonus, another appreciated dimension.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Not for everyone

This was our 7th time at this resort and 4 years since we've been back. The staff is still amazing and the cabanas are the same. The beach and sun make up for the shortage of food selection but you need to go with an open mind and appreciate what we have.These lovely people are kind and making the best of every day. They are unsure of their future but still smile and give hugs. If you are looking for a quiet low key vacation and something totally different from your last Mexico vacation then [... read more] open your heart and mind and go. Most people are 50 plus and have enjoyed this place year after year.Many stay for 4 weeks.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Great for olders

Great hotel for older people. No activities for kids. The entertainment is an evening show and that is pretty much it. Food was ok, limited fruit and salad veriety. Other than that I enjoyed the hotel. Rooms were clean, hot water was always available, mountain view is amazing, nice beach. Only drawback is very bad sand leases. Really bad itching bites. I wish hotel could use smoke to get rid of them. Overall good experience.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: slow pace and clean

yes its old,but great helpful staff,clean resort to relax and do nothing if you want to. I go to relax enjoy the pool& surrounding mountains.if your looking for 5star pick another resort. this one is small but your close to the beach restaurant and pool. all is good I have been there 12 times.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Loved Our Stay at Club Amego Marea Del Potillo

Fabulous Sandy ocean beach always kept clean with lots of lounge chairs and loads of shade areas Always clean central pool with a and Pool Bar and restaurant open 24 hours A large airconditioned and open air main restaurant with a chef and grille to order A food selection to satisfy any diet plan or selective connoisseur An ever cleaned resort will bring us back in a few months for another 2 week stay

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: mo

every things good only thing food must be little bit spice rooms are good people really friendly entertainments must improve fruits has to be more frees other interments also good hotel is clean good

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Great holiday at Marea

The price is right however do not expect champagne on a beer budget. The sun and warmth is the same as all other luxury resorts. The people are kind and the food is good (I certainly did not go hungry). You can walk the beach everyday and there are a few excursions that turned out to be a lot of fun. I will return because I like the simplicity and low key. I'm done with the loud and fast pace resorts. I truly relaxed and practiced my Spanish with the locals. It's a long drive into the resort  [... read more]in the dark on a bad road which some would find tedious but the drive out is enjoyable because of the incredible scenery. I will return and maybe rent a car to explore this scenery on my own. Only one hang up re: this trip. I paid 25 dollars for vip lounge on the way home. It was not very well organized at the airport and other travellers thought we were butting in and became somewhat hostile. I did not pay for that! Get a line set up for vip lounge before the buses arrive so there is no chaos. Otherwise all is good!

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Run down

I visited with my husband from May 27th to April 3rd. Over all the resort is kept clean, but we found a huge coach roach in our room on the first day. There are many repairs needed the resort is very rundown. The food was ok and the selection was limited. I found the staff not as friendly and helpful as other resorts we went to. Due to Sunwings flight schedule your seven day vacation is really only 5 days. I would not return to this resort.

Club Amigo Marea Del Portillo: Quaint resort

If you're looking to just relax without being bothered, this is a great place. Hotel is dated but the staff are very friendly and work hard to maintain it and take care of the guests. Close access to the beach from the lower resort. Beautiful view of the mountains and ocean from the upper resort
