Hotel la Carolina

Possibly one of the worst stays we have ever had. This is a 2 star hotel at best. However, I will start with the positives… The hotel is clean. That is it. That’s the only positive I could muster up. The staff are rude and speak minimal English. We requested a cot on arrival and were told ok it will be in the room by the evening. We went out came back and no cot, we went to reception, to be told it’s too late now it’s not possible you should’ve asked earlier, WE DID! We also requested a fan as air con was not working, they would not give us anything and basically advised us to open the window (it’s 35 degree heat, that will make the room hotter!) This is not a family friendly hotel at all, our 3 year old son woke at 8am and watched tv quietly, we had banging on our walls followed by a rude guest knocking on our door telling us to ‘get the child to shut up’ we reported to reception, and they replied ‘we do not want noisy children at this hotel’ !!!! The food was horrendous, all cold and only 4 hot choices (I say hot, it is supposed to be hot but cold even if you arrive first thing to dine) and then salad. It was disgusting. There is no entertainment at all just a bar which is served by the same person juggling working on reception at the same time. There is one tiny pool at the front of the hotel where public walking past a stones throw away from you, no gates so children can run off onto street from pool if you take eyes off them for one second. Only 9 sun beds in total around the pool. No outside bar. The location is close to the beach but very hilly nearby and abit rough looking and run down on the streets surrounding. My advice would be to stay somewhere else, you can get a much better hotel for your money. We will avoid at all costs in future.
