Hotel Caribe by Faranda Grand

The whole hotel area is the most beautiful I have ever seen so far. It's like a small jungle with a little zoo: there are parrots and mini-deers, cats and birds,... Just beautiful! The pool is large enough to have a swim every morning and was never crowded during the day. (which doesn't count for the area around it, but that's normal anyways). The breakfast was great, there was a large range of products and a very professional cook who prepared different egg specialities for everyone who was interested. Not even 3 minutes from the hotel, there's the sea with some nice cocktailbars etc. and you can go shopping very well just closeby. If we would have been allowed to take our friends to the hotel, it would have been a perfect stay. Through this, we couldn't stay at the hotel as much as we would have liked. The gym was well equipped, but also quite small for the amount of guests using it everyday.

Our friends lived at another hotel closeby so we wanted do take them with us to have a look at the hotel. But we weren't allowed to take them to the hotel area, not even for a few minutes. They had to wait for us at the lobby, everytime we had to get something from our room. We would have even left anything needed at the reception or would have paid to let them come with us, but that wasnt possible as well. Staff wasn't exceptionally friendly (at least not to us), which we would have expected in a hotel like this. Our room was always clean and cozy, but not even close as modern as we would have expected or as shown on most of the pictures on booking.

Had to wait almost an hour to check in because they couldn't see my reservation and the person at the reservation office had gone for lunch
