The maid was amazing. Breakfast at the hotel is good. Love having a big jug of water in our room.
We enjoyed our 1 week stay. The property was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was nice, but wish there were more loungers. The breakfast was tasty and nice selection. We had the king suite and liked our room but the bed was a bit too firm for our liking. Good air conditioning in our room overall happy with the hotel.
Lovely facilities. Great staff. Breakfast included was very good. Pool is great. Location made it easy to walk to most places we wanted to go, or to access transportation.
The breakfast choices included in the stay were minimal and not to my preference. But the roof top restaraunt was fabulous and food was delicious. Best pizza ever
My room was spotless! The breakfast was excellent. The pool was clean
Staff helpful and friendly. This was my second year here. Will be back next year.
Rooms were very clean. Staff were awesome. Beds were good in our 4th room. Manager was very accommodating when we brought concerns to him. Only thing that would make it great would be to have a fridge in rooms

Excellent staff. They really make an effort to make you more comfortable. They changed our curtains to black out shades for us.
Great location between La Ropa and Centro. Great value for the price. Very nice pool, comfortable and clean room. Breakfast was included and excellent. My only issue was the spotty wi fi in the room.
This place was clean and location convenient.
Wifi not great, pool was lovely and very well cared for area. Breakfast included was nice and pretty good. Looking into maybe going back next year, but getting a kitchen

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!!

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.

5 stars for beach proximity, location to excellent restaurants, vista views, room cleanliness, lovely pool and balcony bar. 1 star for condition of the room/bathroom, bedding, dingy towels, large space beneathe door showing daylight and odd service at front desk & at breakfast. The older front desk man was not friendly, never inquired about our experience while checking out, no smile, only wanted to radio maid & make sure we left room in satisfactory condition.
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!!

Staff were great. Rooms were clean and the pool area was very nice
This is just a basic hotel. meant for locals, not tourist. It was ok, the location was good...but "rundown" furniture and bathroom. They only provide one towel...LOL
I would not stay there again.
