Agree with the positive comments posted. Mostly an older crowd that return year after year. Do NOT go if you are looking for nightlife and shopping and fine dining... My one comment is to share my experience regarding bikes. We took bikes for the second time this year. In April there was no paperwork and no problem. In November, we... more

Flight : Sunwing is great. Everything went very smoothly. We got free champagne when we left and free wine when we came back. Complimentary soft drinks, snacks, hot food, hot towels and also complimentary headphones. The only thing maybe : we landed in Santiago before going on to Manzanillo (maybe an hour extra, had to get off the plane…) and... more

for the price that one pays to travel to the Marea del Portillo, it was definitely a great holiday, a beautiful location, very clean and safe (being a solo travellor I felt very comfortable), and I can see why people travel there again and again. standing in the Carribean Sea and looking at your surroundings, it was breath-taking. the beach... more

We have been to Cuba 5 times before but this was our first trip to Club Amigo and the Manzanillo area. For the first time in decades we returned home from a vacation disappointed and although we will go back to Cuba, we will NOT return to this resort. First the resort offered by far not what was promised on... more

If you are looking for nature at it's best, breath taking veiws, rest, relaxation, cleanliness true culture, and want to make good friends, then this place is for you! We will be at the repeaters dinner next year, that's for sure! more

The resort, the beach, the service was wonderful. The hour and half drive from the airport was beautiful. What we didn't appreciate is the ongoing dealings with prositutes staying in the resort. It's of great value for the price you pay to stay. Make sure you keep all your towels and personal things inside, not outside your door to dry... more

THE BROCHURE PICS ARE NOT RIGHT!!!!!!! For low season, the pictures that you see are the closed portion of the hotel. This is not like other hotels that close off rooms, this place closes EVERYTHING. There is no Disco, no Gym, only one a la carte (that sucked), one pool and no swim up bar. Now for food. Im use... more

I visited Marea del Portillo for the first time in April 2009, with one gal-pal, and we both had a very good time. Because of my enjoyable experience, three different girlfriends decided to join me for a trip in late October 2009. (My arm was easily twisted to go again!) My personal assessment, combined with the photos I took on... more

This was my second visit to Marea, but my 5th visit to Cuba. Marea has been my favorite destination in Cuba. This is definitly a place not for everyone. If you are into partying/night life, book elsewhere. This is a picturesque , very small town hidden jem in the mountains Sierra Maestra with ocean view of course. There is the... more
