I stayed in a studio, with kitchen and balcony. It was nice, although is an open concept where the bedroom has no door. The pool is also nice. However, the location of the hotel is not the best. You'll definitely need a vehicle if you want to do stuff around. Check in was quick and staff friendly.
I was never so disgusted befor, I've been staying in the hotels, hostels and this place is the worst! It's not worth the money, I wouldn't want to stay there again even if someone would pay me! First of all it was dirty, we called for the cleaner to clean it properly when we arrived the receptionist told us that she will send somebody in 10 minutes, but she didn't, called her again, she said that cleaner went home, and that she will come the next day! Receptionist very rude. The manager Barbara was not helpful at all, I don't know why somebody pays her for doing nothing. We had cockroaches everyday, big once:( it's very loud there because it's next to the very busy street and locals drive like crazy there, you can't go outside when it gets darker, our neighbor was rubbed just outside our hostel (I can't call it hotel) food very poor. Tv wasn't working, we called receptionist again she didn't do anything so I went to the reception, she finally sent some guy who didn't even know how to use the remote control... so we didn't have tv... I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I advise everyone not to stay in this dirty place. We had horrible time on this amazing Island:(
The Karibo staff and premises, made for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. I enjoyed the good food, wonderful AC, and pool. One of the staff members assisted me tremendously with getting assistance to daytime and nighttime activities. Great place to stay!!!
I stayed at the hotel for the second time and it really has improved. Great pool available 24 hours. The restaurant very varied and economical. The reception of the hotel is very familiar the service they provide are very friendly, attentive and smiling. They make you feel right at home. I recommend the 2 bedroom apartments as being with your friends is very comfortable and fun. the hotel have so many restaurant around and Night club with excellent music The jacuzzi only has cold water. But I enjoyed it, I promise to go back with my family. Thanks evelyn and reny for your attentions.
i stayed at this resort as a stopover and instantly realized I had made a mistake. The entry level rooms are nothing more than Hostel accommodation and the self catering apartments are as basic as you can get. I believe that guests are attracted by the price but don't be fooled, you get less than you pay for and more isolation than you bargained for. If you must stay at this resort then hire a vehicle first.
We get there they did not understand English properly, no fridge was in the room, the wifii was bad, the bed was so hard, we had a very bad back pain after leaving. They clean the room but never change the towels. I left the towel with some mango stain on there perposely to prove my point and i was right. The floor was very noisy even during the night. i really did not enjoy my vacation time at the hotel. i do love the trips that the hotel recomend.
The photos of the apartments (at least those on Booking.com) looked fabulous. We had more space than we needed or expected but in reality, the rooms are much shabbier than on the photos. There is wifi in the rooms but it is not working well. The staff is helpful, but sometimes you need to ask for something a few times in order to get it. It is not as close to the beach as we expected. There is an organized transport from the property to the beach and to 2 shopping centers. However, at the beach there are not that many places you could get something to drink or eat because you mostly have all-inclusive resorts, which do not allow outsiders. The hot tub in the property does not have hot water. Next time, I'd book something closer to the beach, as there is not much to do and explore in the region of the hotel but other hotels, and the beach being the highlight of it all.
I booked a two bedroom suite. The suite was supposed to come with wifi, hot water, hot tub, fully functioning kitchen, and air conditioning. Not only were we unable to put hot water in the hot tub, we were also unable to take hot showers. The water in the hotel could not be digested, which made the kitchen not as functional as stated. The wifi did not work inside the room, there were no complementary water, and the location was not good at all. The air conditioner was broke in the master suite, and when we spoke to some one they stated, oh that is nothing. We were not protected from the public, and the staff over charged on the meals there. I used the app to show the actual price of our bills, which there was always a difference of 3-6 dollars. My family and I had to relocate. The housekeeper never gave us towels, never cleaned our room, and you could see the dirt build up on the light switches. I will not recommend anyone to this location.
We had room 302, one of the expansive apartments on the ground floor. First impressions of the hotel are generally very good: alert security, warm, welcoming and efficient reception and bar staff, big pool and kids pool with stylish chairs,tables and roofs/shades and spacious and stylish apartments. The apartment on first impression looked fabulous as well, with a big living room, well-equipped with seats, tables, etc. including a decent sized dining table set. Extremely well-equipped kitchen with small breakfast bar, huge fridge freezer and state of the art washer/dryer as well as microwave, oven, washer, etc. Large beds, stylish curtains, linens, decor, artworks and en suites, with air con in all rooms. Also a large rear veranda with jacuzzi and table and chairs set and a lawn. There were a few points needing a bit of TLC though. Bedside lamp with dangerous wiring, next door puppy that was constantly visiting/whining, absolute swarms of mosquitoes from the jacuzzi area are always somehow in the house - mozzy screens would be invaluable - and some plug sockets and tiles,seat covers, patio door locks, etc that needed properly finished/fixed. The restaurant was really a bit less than hoped for with a rather simple menu and a tendency to over-salt meats and fish. A few gems amongst the options, to be fair, especially the pasta creations. The service both from restaurant and bar, again, was fantastic, though. The security can't be faulted either, as there were guards around the complex 24 hours, friendly people offering peace of mind. Mini market and huge tourist shop nearby, short drive to malls and beach and a very regular free taxi by the hotel to malls and private beach which was an enormously valuable service. Really rather good all round, located quite well, too, but needing effort in a few smaller but critical areas to be truly exceptional.
