Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca

LOVED LOVED Club Amigo! Awesome value for your dollar. absolutely STUNNING beaches, very clean, friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely make this my annual vacation spot!!

staff is excellent --my personal thanks to Pablo (westjet rep) for helping find my luggage & suggestion for excursions, also Inglvis (reception) very knowledgeable, always smiling and helpful & to Elias (reception) for helping me find my luggage --all staff goes out of their way to help and beach is superb--water pressure in main bldg is low at times but many reno's going on so am sure this will be fixed--i will be back

It does not matter the location Everything you need is there

Great value, unbeatable beach with the added bonus of the public beach right beside it, also other smaller, private beach areas gave beaches a 5** truly deserved way more , several pools with no lack of poolside chairs to choose from, there were enough choices of places to eat we found our favourites and stuck with them, weeded out the places we didn't care for as there was definitely different levels of service and quality of food , hotel staff friendly and most more than happy to accommodate our requests we wanted rooms side by side with friends who arrived a day later than us - the staff made it happen , rooms basic but clean we stayed in the bungalows which were very quiet away from main resort area however steps away from the beach AND the PIRATE BAR. This bar, and it's charming bartender Riggo, was without a doubt the main highlight deserving their own 5**** plus....., many activities at the resort and close by there were two separate places to go for a horseback ride - lovely well kept, well mannered horses With a guide who took the time to explain safety and the basics to my two inexperienced friends, this was exceptional value. This resort, although older, and it's staff deserve better reviews than some I have seen, the number of guests that return year after year cause they love the place, are the real proof - some having stayed 20+ years or more. It was hard to leave, I will return and stay longer next time.

I visited Club Amigo Atlantico with 3 other people for our March Break. We weren’t expecting anything fancy, as we knew it was a 3-star when booking. However, when looking through the photos on Sunquest and anywhere else, we were extremely disappointed with the first room we were given Standard upon our arrival. The room can be compared to a military bunker or worse . It wasn’t clean, it smelled of mould and it was extremely old. I believe these are the first buildings. Some standards look great on the outside new paint job . It simply wasn’t sanitary and I don’t know how this hotel can place anyone in these rooms. We then asked for another room and were put in their tropical section, which was better and cleaner. Still not like the photos online. Unfortunately, the resort charges per day for any room changes as it is considered an upgrade. We then upgraded again and ended up in the villas #9, to be exact . Now this room was what they showed in the photos. Beautiful room compared to what else they give travelers . The food was pretty good, all things considered. Yes, it’s bland, but they please every palate this way. Add some salt & pepper, bring your own spice and make it enjoyable for you. They offer à la carte options Mediterranean, Italian, Cuban, Seafood , which all have great options. However, those who chose Italian weren’t very impressed. I do recommend the Cuban; it was really good. We also did Mediterranean and if it wasn’t for my overcooked and dried out chicken, it was delicious. If we had to choose a destination in Holguin, Club Amigo Atlantico would not be on our list. Although we had a lovely vacation after changing rooms, we were extremely disappointed with the amount we had initially paid for this hotel only to get a dirty room . We ended up having to pay an extra $300 approximately, to get the room we expected to get the one shown in photos . We would have booked elsewhere had the photos properly reflected what we would receive as a room.

We had always avoided this resort as there were so many bad reviews but this year the price was so good for a 2 week vacation we decided to take it. Well it was great value, yes its certainly not a 5 star but I would certainly book it again. Food was good and the staff friendly,if you expect the food to be as it is in your home then stay home. Its a third world country with hard working friendly people that are happy to see you visit their country.
