Positive :

Super nice place, the beach is wonderful, beautiful white sand with turquoise sea is heavenly c ... The hotel was nice but a bit old, I went visited superior rooms for an extra $ 100 worth ca. If I go back I took the upper chamber to the gallery and everything. If not even have an office to put the machine, you must leave everything in the bag.

Negative :

It is on to keep in mind that this is only 3 stars. So the animation is not strong, the performances are average. Also not much variety in the buffet was always about the same choice.

Comments from lourl on Club Amigo Ancon :

Positive :

Despite delays to the outward and return with Cubana, our trip was pleasant. The beach is large and pleasant to walk for lovers. The water is clean not as clear as say Varadero, but clear. The upper chamber is a few $ more. Room size is small but very clean, all the sheets that the bathroom is well maintained and every day. Buffet not as bad as expected, by cons very limited choice. For lunch it was still good, choice of chicken, fish, salalde, pasta, rice etc, otherwise it's the snack hambergers with fries and pizza. There are also lunch near the snack bar, hot buffet with a small salad, fried fish and fruit. We went to dinner a la carte every night and it was generally good. Well yes, we must dissect the shrimp ... but we ca do not pose a problem. The Paela has internationnal is delicious. A low price is an excellent choice if you know you will be no food for a trip.

Negative :

We knew what to expect and we were disappointed about anything except for delays in the plane and the bus that had no fuel to get us a hotel ...

Comments from ludger on Club Amigo Ancon :

Positive :

A very good price / quality ratio. The best three stars I've been to Cuba! The catamaran for snorkeling at 8 pesos, really great. The service is very good overall. A smile from us, is often worth more than the pesos that we give. There was the beach service, a first for me in a 3 *. A little long, but the hotel was full and I was on vacation. I go back spoke with pleasure because it's the kind of nice and friendly small hotel where I like to meet friends.

Negative :

People who pay for a 3 * and who would be in a 5 * damage ...

Comments from Mélanie S. on Club Amigo Ancon :

Positive :

The Hotel is very clean, the city of Trinidad to visit (only 15 min. From the hotel). The excursion to the mountain's worth to be done. The beach is beautiful and the temperature too.

Negative :

Well, I begin by or loll The hotel is located 3 hours from the airport and the bus has no bathroom. The late night shows are flat. The service is slow. Employees are not smiling. Standard room with no real office to get his clothes. The food is not very varied and very ordinary.

Comments from pedro1 on Club Amigo Ancon :

Positive :

Quality / price ratio, we can not ask more from a 3 *. The cleanliness of the rooms and property in general. The beach is very large, clean and lots of palapas and lounge chairs galore. The proximity of the city of Trinidad.

Negative :

The food ... ah, say it corresponds to the 3 * hotel or maybe less and I'm not normally difficult. Very little variety and poor service (unprofessional). We get tired and it was soon to leave the taste. The journey of 3 hours between Santa Clara and the hotel. A disaster in order to make the most of our holiday. We certainly do not go back unless the Trinidad airport became an international day. Many negative stresses on the beach.

Comments from Carole on Club Amigo Ancon :

Positive :

Very clean. Trinidad is worth the trip, especially if you are accompanied by a guide. You have to book every day for a la carte restaurants, the represantative your travel agent can encharger for you, that of TMR was very nice. If you want to go snorkeling Armundo, you can reach a private beach in five minutes (by taxi), it is really nice and helps you to make you discover all marine life, if you go to the Hotel Ancon do not miss this event which will only cost you what you want to give a Armundo.

Negative :

The beach is public and the weekend Cubans were very active and somewhat intrusive. Do not bring travelers checks because I have been unable to get them to change, Canadian money is accepted. The staff is very little smiling with some exceptions.

Comments from labelmimi on Club Amigo Ancon :

Positive :

For a second consecutive year we were at Club Ancon for 2 weeks. We were on the upper side in 8316 thus saw the sea so hard working we have recognized an impeccable service. We were eating at the head 2 times in Jorgue you can not go wrong. 9 pesos for lobster, mango, papaya, avocado, fried plantains, rice, fish fillet, goyarve. The tours are very interesting, topes of collientes, igouanes to the island, catamaran, Cienfuegos and Havana as well. You can also ask your representative for other places although it is not in their school bag she will be happy to help. The buffet we have agreed very well because that n is not our priority. Finnissons we always find something to be put in their mouths. We were 6 times in Trinidad because there are many museum to visit and it costs almost nothing so do not go without. Take time to talk with the people they are so hospitable. We also had the chance to go to a party which Cuban energy oufffff its people. Tell yourself that you are on vacation then breathe and take time to live ............. The palapas and there are good enough, sometimes we go to the beach around 10:30 and there was always room for Cubans who do not reside in the hotel are automatically prohibited on the beach chairs by the agents safety. This year the beach was a bit more blurred in the week on July 28 because of the hurricane there was in Mexico but in our second week and we had well water at once and have seen our feet very well. The rooms are very clean nothing to say about the cleanliness, there are people who have spoken of sand or other bugs but for us nothing at all the above.

Negative :

2 weeks not long enough and people who do not give any "tipps" it's so sad. We took care to please them and you should have seen the service we got. Even the servers were on the beach to give us our drinks and a smile.

Comments from sbolduc on Club Amigo Ancon :

Positive :

Travel during the week of July 12 to 19. The state of the beach, the sea temperature is different and if you travel during the winter period. It is possible that the cost of activity is different too. We enjoyed our trip. The hotel is quite large, there is the old part and the way the rooms were renovated (rooms above). I have not seen that part of the former, but to the outside it did not look very nice. The air conditioning make black wings on the wall. , And most of them do not have a balcony or patio door. All these rooms are located above the common air, that is to say the lobby, a bar, buffet, the store, the little shop, restaurants, etc. .... The superior rooms are renovated the bathroom is very clean. In fact, the entire site is always very clean. The rooms are equipped with a small refrigerator and a large bottle of water per day is included. There is no office for storing clothing. # 8311 My room had a beautiful sea view, any tree or palm tree was obstructing the view unlike other rooms. I do not have to acensseur in the new part. By cons in the old one there. Please note there were bed bugs in my bed (I suggest you make a cream against the itching, if shot) The beach is very long it is possible to walk round trip at least 1:30. Bring your sandals because of a certain place there are many shells on the beach. Had since the summer, there were not many people on the beach (including Cuba). There are not many palm umbrella so if you want one you should go early in the morning. The temperature stood at about 34 degree Celsius, with a good wind. The sea was calm and very hot (a mini wave on the beach). By against water was blurred I could not see my foot. Attention because there were small "jelly fish" with a size of $ 2 in water. The pain lasts about 15 minutes and is accompanied by redness. Vinegar is sugéré, but aloe does the trick too. There was also the algae in the water. The food was not very varied at the buffet is as acceptable as anything more. Venezia Italian Restaurant "was not edible" (as they say) and is located in the basement. The fish restaurant is also acceptable (4 choices of dishes Pricipals only). The best in my opinion is the international restaurant Olaya. You can go downtown to eat the food is very good. You can also go into a "Cuban casa" to eat lobster + red snapper for $ 10/pp. transport included not permitted by law by cons (ask the lifeguard for this or other Cuban on the site). The drink is of course included, but the glasses are really small and still in plastic. The house wine is acceptable. If you want a bottle of wine there are good only at the international restaurant. Few activities, are really not expensive between $ 10 and $ 45. You can choose from snorkeling, diving, city tour, the fall (swimming) in the mountains, and another activity that I forgot. Transportation is mostly not chartered bus or the "wawa" and of course by taxi. Taxi fare from the hotel in Trinidad is still $ 8 and that of the "wawa" of $ 1/pp. The "wawa" does not regularly. The city of Trinidad is located approximately 15 km away. This is beautiful but very old. People are friendly and welcoming just talk to them to appreciate their qualities. There are not people achalant, they are friendly and are always ready to help you (unpaid, but he appreciates that give them something). Gifts: because people are quite poor, it is easy to swap from Canada (sneaker already used in good condition, shoes, clothes for all the family, school effects, solar telescope, etc. If you give them .... of medication, be sure to tell them to follow the dosage, because most people do not understand English let alone French). And in exchange they will give you rum, cigars, coffee, big Shell. I wish you a safe journey.
