Over the past decade, I have given a scant few hotels a perfect score. I now add Don Carlos to this very short list. Sublime service from start (thank you Pamela) to finish (thank you Manuel). Lovely facilities from the exquisite flowers and art throughout the public area to the amazing pool, lush gardens, tennis courts and beach. The brunch was so fresh and fantastico we actually wanted to get up in the morning. The Oasis Spa — we never wanted to get out of that bubbly sea of serenity. The Don Carlos is the real deal — what a hotel should be.

Sad face IconDisliked: Staff & service
Warning: Do not stay here!
A truly terrible experience. 1 person for checking, concierge and bell man. Waited over an hour for my luggage. Went to get it myself and it was right we’re I left it in. I just took it. No one asks for claim ticket. I booked an excursion and was told to pick up details after 7pm. Arrived at 8, a new person was at the desk with no information about the excursion. An entire day ruined. Staff seems disinterested, lazy, and untrained. This is a 3 star hotel.

Nice place - was clean and quiet but we had problems with dinner - we payed for half board but in restaurant they wanted us to pay extra for some meals and there was very limited menu - especially for gluten-free meals. And on the last day in restaurant was more people and we were served very badly - they were bringing wrong orders and our meal was cold!
