Two stars at best. Hotel is about a block away from the actual beach, which is really one of the worst beaches in Cuba. Maybe the diving is OK (I did not try it) but it is very inferior to the beautiful beaches of Varadero, the Cuban cayos, even Guardalvaca. A lot of the hotel's clients seemed interested in drinking as much as possible and being loud ... in contrast were the other clients who were clearly disappointed with their choice. The rooms were very basic. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful (the norm for Cuba) but others seemed tired and weary of the trailer-park Canadians who were plentiful. Cuban food is not the greatest but gets better when 4 or 5 stars. Another 2 star indicator for this hotel although a fresh omelette (tortilla in Cuba) or fried egg is pretty much the same wherever you go. The nightly entertainment was a joke ... often it is very good in 3 star or more Cuban hotels featuring groups who tour to various hotels. But at this place the "house group" must have run out of ideas .. little more than a bingo game for a bottle of rum. The pool was a simple rectangle model with no ambience or style. So... unless you have a girlfriend or boyfriend iln Cienfuegos that you want to entertain on the cheap, Club Amigo is a good place to avoid. There is free parking with a more or less mandatory $1 per nght fee to ensure the security guys actually protect your high priced car rental.
