“Lots of great places in Cuba ... this is NOT one of them”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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.

Room Tip: There are nice hotels in the city of Cienfuegos.

“Redirected here - so pleased!”

Our group stayed here for 2 nights instead of Jagua, Cienfuegos. We had a lovely spacious room with a large sunny furnished balcony overlooking the Caribbean - all we needed was a fridge & a hairdryer to make it perfect! Staff were friendly & helpful, though we thought we'd started an international diplomatic incident when we took our welcome cocktails up to our room - our tour manager told us that the bar staff were panicking as they have to count all the glasses out & count them all back, & if any are missing their wages are deducted! There was even an inventary in one of the drawers itemising every item in our room, even down to the last coathanger!
The food was good by Cuban standards, and although the hotel is approx 15 mins drive from Cienfuegos we appreciated its quiet peaceful situation (with NO amplified music!)after our long days touring.

“Quiet Hotel - good staff - no dedicated beach”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel seems to accomodate a lot of coach tours fro one night and on those nights the restaurant does a full buffet with a good choice of salads etc. On other nights there is a choice of chicken or pork which can get monotonous but you don't go to Cuba for the food.
The hotel is great is you want to lie by the pool and indulge in the all inclusinve bar but some areas are now derelict as it's sister hotel Rancho De Luna has opened about 1km down the road. Rancho is a much busier and lively venue with entertainment etc and it appears that Faro Luna is now only open 4-6 months of the year. We went for the diving and the dive centre is at Rancho de Luna but it is only a 15-20 min walk down the beach and we would not have wanted to stay at Rancho!
The staff were helpful and courteous.

“Staff let the place down”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel occupies the beach more or less exclusively and so it is very peaceful and private. There is a very good pool bar which serves hot freshly prepared snacks. Free pedallos, catamaran no charge for sunloungers and plenty of them. Generally food better than other hotels. Staff in main hotel and bars not very helpful. At breakfast they hid the glasses so you had to ask them for juice so you would give them a tip, same with desert spoons and coffee cups. I know they want to earn money but it does get a bit wearing

“This is a quit resort, about 1/2 hour from town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2009
4
people found this review helpful

We arrived at night at about 10 pm. The first impression was great, the lobby was nice,
We arrived with an other couple. We checked in , a busboy took our suitcases and walked us up to the room.
The room was great, we settled down with a few drinks from the bar and sat down on the balcony ,then went to bed for a good night rest.
The next morning we look out and we where right on the ocean.
The advertisement in the catalog from sunwing said "" BEACH FRONT '' well there was no beach ,""I post a foto from the beach front""
We stayed there for seven days, the service was great, the people where great, the place is clean, the water in the pool is cold.
The food at the resort for a tree star hotel was good.
I you look for a quit vacation and a rest full place,'' THIS IS IT''.
we had our 55 year aniversary there, the manager found this out and serve us a scrimp and lobster dinner on a table, special set up in the lobby. Is was great.
