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

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

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

We have two teenage children who love the outdoor adventures so we cautiously choose the A.I. Marea Del Portillo Resort in Cuba for our August summer vacation and this resort was a great deal better than we had expected. Our departure was out of Toronto with Sunwing Vacations. We had a brief brief stop in Varadero and then on to... more

I went to Marea Del Portilla for one week with my daughter. It was much better than I expected. The Resort: It was quite nice. There is a section with hotel rooms and another with Cabana's...beach front or "back yard" mountain view. Everything was quite conveniantly located. There is only one bar and it is located by the pool and... more
