I booked this property online from Canada for 4 days thinking I would look around for a place to stay for a month when I arrived. I quickly noticed how nice the resort and staff were but after my 4 days I had to relocate as the property was full. The manager Gerardo was fantastic and he put in time on his own accord to find me a suitable property to relocate to. I highly recommend this property, it has everything you need and you get the best value here. It’s just simply a lovely resort and is so close to the beach. Don’t do as I did, only booking for 4 days, book your whole vacation at the Caracol!!

Great beach access and excellent water pressure. However, during the holiday season, we found the price too high for what was offered. The beds were really uncomfortable and caused back pain for us. Disappointingly, there were no beach towels provided, but they had towels for the pool, which we weren't allowed to take it to the beach....

Staff very nice, room big with balcony, fridge but it is old - the whole place needs a facelift but ok. Our biggest issue NO hot water & we were there for 2 wks - when we enquired we were pretty much given the brush off, also they had had some issue with electrical or water or something so for days were drilling thru concrete & we had to listen to that for hours on end.

The hotel grounds and the pool area are indeed very nice, but my room was terrible. No blow dryer, no shampoo or shower gel, only a bar of soap. Walls cracked, very basic furniture - more of a cell than a room. Hot water took 10 minutes (!) to arrive every day - what a waste of water! But the worst was the bed - it was the most uncomfortable, hard, bed I have ever had the misfortune to sleep on. My. right shoulder completely seized up after just 1 night, so I had to actually had to cut my trip short and come home early as I did not want to be in pain for the whole week. NOT recommended!!

Had a bad experience in the restaurant with the waiter. Did not make us feel welcome at all and we heard him talking to the bartender saying we were Americans. Didnt let us sit where we wanted and it WAS NOT busy at all. Also didnt have tonic water for our drinks which was on the menu. Other than that experirnce, it was excellent.
