The Villa Caletes is one of my favorite places. The setting and views are amazing. The hotel is exquisite- with architecture matching some of the most luxury inns in the world. It does not disappoint in this regards. I was somewhat disappointed with the bed this time. I could feel and hear the springs. I will be back for the view but might stay elsewhere.

Very beautiful location. The views from this property are stunning. We had a private hot tub with our room and that was great to have. The restaurant was nice, a little pricey and they didn’t offer a free breakfast. Parking is also a little awkward and it’s not within walking distance to anything. We had a car and were able to come and go without a problem. But the property itself, gorgeous. The rooms were clean and beautiful and the staff were all very friendly! Would definitely recommend.

Awful rooms. Absolutely not worth the price point
This was like visiting a hotel from the twilight zone. The grounds are well maintained and the views are beautiful but the rooms are in a terrible shape. The room we got smelled poorly, the furnitures were run down, hardware in the crowded bathroom were broken and rusty. The linens were thin from use, far from white crispy linens you would expect from a 5 stars hotel that charges $600 per night off season. The room decor was extremely distasteful in tacky red and black, so dated. The room is located where you cant access carts so getting to the room was steep and slippery, having to get to it in a really rainy weather, felt unsafe. The door keys didn’t work, power dropped, wifi reception is inconsistent. Staff at the front desk was standoffish, didn’t offer a different room despite asking a few times. It was so unpleasant we tried to avoid staying in the room except for sleep I was extremely uncomfortable there. Total waste of money. Service was inconsistent, restaurant was ok. If you want to see the views pay for a day pass. So disappointed. See pictures attached: the pics on the site are misleading.

Amazing views, super nice staff, great dining and great spa. However, the hotel needs to be renovated. Furniture in common areas is old. Rooms and bathrooms could be in better conditions.
