I have never written a negative review about an all inclusive before - and I feel bad writing one now, but really want travelers to be safe! The resort itself was lovely, everything I normally look for in an all inclusive girls get-a-way. Unfortunately friends we met from home were robbed of their money and passports - WHILE THEY WERE...

APRIL 5th to APRIL 12th 2013 I had read the reviews before heading off to this Hotel so I was expecting much. I wasn`t dissappointed nor was I overly impressed. I was content with the hotel and the reviews were pretty accurate. I will be 100% honest in this review. Staff-Front Lobby When checking in, it seemed like I was... More

There is some shopping at the beach. There are 3 large pools around the resort. I travelled by myself (single woman) and... More

Food: was great, the only hindrance was breakfast and lunch were the exact same every day. There was always room to sit and the dining room was clean and well maintained. Beach: beautiful. The water was perfect every day for swimming. The downside was the people trying to sell you massages and hair braids- but definatly not as much as... More

I read the reviews and took them with a grain of salt thinking it can't be that bad but it was. I knew it was a 3.5 star and the price was low but I never expected it to be so bad that I wouldn't want to stay there. It was that bad and thank god I was only there... More

My Wife, 2 Young Sons (4 and 2) and myself just returned from Carabela Beach Resort, and found yes the resort books 60 to 70% of their rooms to Russian and other Eastern Block travelers. While the the Mannerisms of some(most) of the other Visitors have gotten under the skins of previous reviewers we had minimal issues. It's their vacation... More
