Food is very repetitive, not warm and bland. After our 3rd night we ate out as we struggled to eat in this hotel. Not a variety of fresh fruit
Drinks are not branded names and the cocktails are very sweet and taste like syrup.
Rooms: Rooms are very dated and in desperate need of decorating. Towels need replacing as they are discoloured and past their best.
Cleanliness;; My personal opinion I don’t think both our rooms were cleaned the full week we were there. 3 times our beds were not made,, bin wasn’t emptied, Twice we never got clean towels. Floor not swept or washed daily. Sink and shower was not cleaned all the time we were there, it was disgusting. I was constantly spraying ants on the bathroom sink,
On arrival we accidentally left an empty bottle of cola on the balcony table, it was still there on our departure.
Poolsides could be kept cleaner.
I certainly will not be returning to this hotel also would not recommend.
We returned to this hotel after staying here previously and having a positive experience, which makes this review particularly disappointing to write.
The hotel looks attractive on the surface, with appealing grounds and facilities, but our experience this time revealed a number of issues that significantly affected our holiday.
The biggest issue was the mattress in the main bed, which was so firm that neither my partner nor I were able to sleep properly on our first night. I reported the issue during the night, but the initial solution provided was ineffective. As a result, the first night was effectively lost and the following day was spent recovering from the lack of sleep rather than enjoying our holiday.
When discussing the matter with management, I was told that mattress comfort is a matter of personal preference. However, both adults in the room were affected, and we had stayed at the same hotel previously without experiencing this problem. Various goodwill gestures were discussed, but none proved to be a practical solution to the disruption already caused.
The all-inclusive food was also disappointing. The selection felt repetitive, with many of the same dishes appearing day after day, and the overall quality was below our expectations.
Overall, while the hotel presents well visually, we found that there were a number of shortcomings beneath the surface. Unfortunately, this stay did not live up to our previous experience, and we will not be returning
I have just arrived back home after a wonderful week stay at this hotel and absolutely loved it. The staff were very helpful, friendly and extremely hard working. The room was cleaned daily to a high standard with clean, fresh towels provided daily too. The food was delicious, with lots of variety. So many pools to choose from and always plenty of sun loungers available. It was great to be able to dip in and out of the water park and perfect for our teenager to prevent boredom on the couple of days we stayed at the hotel all day. The entertainment was very good and fun to get involved in. The location was super and the island is absolutely stunning. I do recommend seeing as much as you can, we managed to travel around most of the island on land and sea and it really is the prettiest island I've been to so far, with so much history to soak up, we really did have the best time. Thank you to the hotel and staff at Caretta Beach.
Great location with aqua park. Rooms were adequate and clean. And cleaned regularly during our time there. Towels are clean if a little tired. All-inclusive was in general good, food was plentiful if a little bland. Plenty Pork and Chicken seems a bit of a shortage of Beef and Lamb. Plenty salad 🥗 and pasta options. Snack bar was good and suitable for children. Drinks 🍸 were plentiful but not branded. Entertainment was "at best" suitable. The Entertainment squad did a great effort to keep everyone happy with usual games and aerobics. Aqua Park is an added bonus on hotel grounds with something for all ages. Plenty Sunbeds but we visited in October not sure how it would cope in August. All in all I would say 8.5 out of 10. Short walk to shops and outside restaurants. Courtesy bus to Beach ⛱️ is good but it's not a long walk if you felt the urge to walk one way or other.
€20 for extra room key 🔑 refundable on return. €15 for safe box (non refundable). On last day if late pick up... shower and towels available so need for late check out expenses.
Caretta beach was a lovely place to stay,
Rooms cleaned daily, some of the rooms where dated in regards to interior, but still very pleasant and clean.
There was always hot and cold drinks available throughout the day and had a fantastic kids cocktail menu.
The all inclusive was all fresh food and was good food, lots of fruit selection, the puddings where not self serve which for some people isn't great but for most it means you dont receive a pudding that's been fingered by multiple people. The food was a little repetitive but wasn't bad.
The pools where all clean and not freezing cold like some resorts I have experienced.
Over all I would stay here again.
