10/10 Exceptional

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Caribe. Even though it’s an 80-year-old hotel, it is very well kept, maintaining its charm and elegance. The beautiful grounds and the presence of animals around the property made the experience truly unique and special. The pools and jacuzzi were absolutely incredible—perfect for relaxing after exploring the city and the beautiful islands. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a wonderful stay. The only area for improvement would be updating the bathrooms to match the rest of the hotel’s charm. However, this didn’t take away from the overall experience. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again!
