Just like the hero of the children’s story “The Little Engine That Could,” Club Amigo Marea del Portillo keeps chugging along, and accomplishing more than others might anticipate. There will always be bumps in the road – and, since it’s in Cuba, there will be goats too. Despite the obstacles, however, I see improvements at the little resort every time... More

There was a report that the Marea resort would be closed for the summer but Sunwing Vacations is now selling it out of Toronto. This three star resortis right on the Caribbean Sea and has very few steps. It gives one a great Cuban experience for a reasonable price. the food is mostly organic and consists of fish - pork...

I just got back yesterday from a one week stay May 3-10, 2012 at the Marea del portillo. This was my second time here and went back because of the great price and value. I must say that my week was utterly fantastic and amazing. I really had the beach to myself most of the week as other clients were... More

Just returned from Marea del Portillo Thursday April 26. I was there for one week and I am looking forward to returning very soon. The resort is very clean and the staff very friendly. Those who complain about this resort don't deserve to go on vacation lol. There are some aesthetic imperfections one has to over look, but hardly enough... More

We spent the week of March 22-29, 2012 at the Club Amigo Farallon del Caribe Resort. While we have been to many other parts of Cuba this was our first trip to Manzanillo. The Farallon is one of two properties in this area - the other (and much older) is the Marea Del Portillo - you can use both facilities.... More

This was my very first trip so my opinion may not be as valuable as those that travel all of the time but I still felt I should share my experience while staying at the Marea Del Portillo from March 8th-15th in a cabana with an ocean view from my patio door. Other than the drama with the young man... More

We just returned from Club Amigo and stayed at the Marea property. Marea is the original property, a bit older but closest to the beach & has the most amenities onsite (currency exchange, trip booking, horseback riding, bicycles, scooters). This resort is truly a 3-star. Great value for the money but showing its age. Most visitors here are repeat visitors,... More
