Relaxing Jungle Retreat

I thoroughly enjoyed the spa services at Cariblue. My partner indulged in a deep tissue massage that was perfectly balanced—not too soft, not too hard. The pricing felt fair for a jungle resort, adding to our relaxation after days of adventures. The ambiance of the spa really complemented the serene surroundings of the hotel.

Tasty Breakfast Options

Breakfast at La Jungla was a highlight of our stay! They had a great omelet station where I could customize my meal exactly how I liked it. Although the variety was somewhat limited, everything we tried was really tasty, including fresh pancakes and good coffee. The dining area was beautifully designed, adding to the overall experience.

Cozy Bungalow Stay

Our stay in a bungalow was good. The rustic, thatched roof provided an authentic jungle experience, and the comfortable firm bed made for great nights of sleep. I loved the patio with a hammock where we could enjoy the sounds of nature. The air conditioning was a welcome relief after a long day exploring.

Beautiful Pool Area

The pool area at Cariblue was fantastic! It included a swim-up bar where I enjoyed a delicious cocktail while relaxing in the water. The multiple pools allowed for plenty of space to unwind and soak up the sun. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and I loved the evening music that complemented the jungle ambiance.

While the hotel has potential with its beautiful setting and clean rooms, it feels a bit outdated and could use some renovations. The staff, particularly in housekeeping, were friendly and helpful, but some other team members could benefit from better training. The dining options were okay, but there are improvements needed. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet escape surrounded by nature, it has its charms, but it's not without its flaws.
