I stayed at Cariblue with my family for over a week and we all loved it. Enjoyed that it’s a little outside the main action of Puerto… there’s some stuff to do within walking distance but you’ll need a taxi or bike to do other things.
Stayed in a family suite which has direct access to one of the pools and is basically across the street from the beach. The suite was perfect for us and we didn’t mind getting a bit of noise from the neighbouring restaurants. The outside noise seemed to wrap up fairly early and the rooms have thick walls anyway.
The hotel grounds are gorgeous and filled with sloths, howler monkeys, golden orb spiders and the hard-working leaf cutter ants. So cool!
The food at La Jungla was really really good! We ate there multiple times during our stay outside of the complementary breakfast buffet. They even offered room service pizza, which is convenient when travelling with kids.
The food and beverage service ranged from meh to fabulous, with Jose, Holly and Yoser being super stars. Front desk staff were always there to answer questions and help us out.
Sure, there are things I could nitpick about but given the total cost and the location, it’s really not worth mentioning.
Also, Surya Spa was incredible. I had a massage and scrub with Karla and it was so so good.
We will definitely be back!!
