Starfish Guardalavaca - NEVER AGAIN

Jim Coelho, Toronto, ON

2025-12-05

The reception staff seemed very stressed. Needed more lights on the grounds. The food was very repetitive. The 3 restaurants were only for the repeat guests, which I think was not fair, then why mention it on the website. The food was always cold in spite of been in hot pots was not covered and flies were sitting on it. [Details]

Previously THE VILLAS AT CLUB AMIGO ATLANTICO GUARDALAVACA for this review

Lola, Newmarket, ON

2023-11-30

Being VIP, i stayed in one of the Villas, beautiful bright, large room with ample closet space, nice big bathroom TV, fridge and balcony. I mainly ate all my lunch/dinner meals at El Benny's, and breakfast at the 24hr Bar. The waitresses, waiters and Bar staff provide excellent service. The food always delicious and wholesome. The GYM is well-equipped, clean, open and larger than most resort Gyms. Washrooms and showers are also located in the Gym is a sauna.
Villa Section has a pool, a mini pool for little children, a mini-club, and a games room.
The grounds around the Villa are meticulously kept, the gardeners working tirelessly to keep everything beautiful. [Details]

The strong points

Beach! Wait and Bar staff working very hard to keep the guests well looked after. The housekeeping staff providing spotless rooms and common areas. Wifi available throughout the resort. The food!

The weak points

The older original part of the resort ("the Barracks") is standing abandoned and in disrepair. Heartbreaking to see since I recall their beauty in 1990s.

Sanitary measures

Very clean throughout the resort. I loved my room maid
