Caribe Town Bungalows

Great location. Easy access via tuktuks to local attractions. Staff very welcoming. Lodges rustic & comfortable. Breakfast good. We didn't use the pool, however it's more of a plunge/bar pool, rather than for swimming. Surrounding gardens very beautiful.

Our quiet moments in Caribe Town Bungalows, (mornings 8 - 9.30am & afternoons 4 - 6pm) were largely interrupted by an open sports facility they have within Caribe Gardens, and positioned within meters of the lodge we were staying. This must be a popular local facility given it always seemed occipied during the day when we were there.. Continuous thumping of Boxing bags (judo or karate) ruins any tranquility offered by the gardens. Energetic group dancing/workout classes were also very noisy. This seems a little inappropriate during breakfast hours and those hours when guests have arrived back after a day out. 4 power cuts were experienced during our 2 night stay. We were told this was a local problem.

This place met and exceeded our expectations. The owners (Joel & Karilily) are super down to earth and passionate about their little piece of paradise. The host (Kat) and chef (Sebastian) were absolutely a pleasure to spend time with at breakfast and in the evenings for happy hour. Made from scratch breakfast every morning was delicious and a great way to start your day. The grounds are beautiful and we saw a momma sloth and her baby as well as a larger baby sloth that lived on the premises. I could not possibly say enough good things about this place. Love, Love Love!

Small thing but the pillows could have been better.

Beautiful place cosy and tipical, in the middle of a wonderful tropical garden. We have received a warm welcome from karilily and her family. Bungalows are clean and very comfortable and a home made fresh breakfast is served in the morning.

The property is beautiful, nature throughout the gardens. The staff are brilliant, Kat brings a fun happy relaxed homely vibe, Sebastian makes the best breakfasts and Joel, Karilily and their family are the perfect hosts.

Nothing, we will be back

The welcome is warm and genuine, and everyone makes you feel like an old friend from the moment you arrive. The property is a mini oasis of calm, amidst the natural beauty of the forest, but just minutes away from the beach. The bungalow was spacious and well appointed, with everything we needed.

The property is absolutely amazing! Such a relaxing vibe and atmosphere. the salt water pool is brilliant and the rooms are gorgeous. You really do feel like you are in a jungle oasis, there’s wildlife everywhere and the gardens are just stunning. The breakfast and cocktails are also amazing! Best part about the place is the staff, they immediately made us feel so comfortable. Would 100% recommend. The location is also amazing, right near great restaurants and literally across the road from the beach. Can’t wait to come back. Can easily see how it’s so booked out.

The bungalows are in a fabulous location, surrounded by trees and vegetation yet only a short walk to the beautiful beach. There are a number of restaurants, supermarkets and a pharmacy within walking distance and a place to hire bikes (I highly recommend doing this) across the street. The owners and staff are very friendly and make you feel incredibly welcome. The grounds of the property are a great place to see wildlife and feel close to nature - there was a Mummy sloth and baby in a tree most mornings while we ate breakfast. We stayed in a basic bungalow that didn’t have air con but this wasn’t a problem as the open (netted) sides of the roof and the huge ceiling fan kept us cool enough. The pool area and open plan lounge area was a lovely place to relax.

You do need to remember you’re in the jungle and if you want all mod cons then this might not be the place for you - but you could say that about the South Caribbean coast in general. There was no temperature control of the water in the shower and the water pressure wasn’t great. Also, the Wifi was a bit hit and miss in our bungalow although it was great in the main lounge area so it wasn’t a problem for us. I’ve mentioned it for the benefit of other visitors who may need to use WiFi for work purposes. All in all, we had a great stay and if you want to feel close to nature and experience jungle life with friendly hosts then it’s a great place to stay!

Beautiful Property. comfortable beds. amazing staff!

Great staff and location! we loved the mood of this place located in a small beautiful piece of forest. A lot of restaurant and beaches nearby. Good breakfast.

Very chill atmosphere. Awesome location. Our favorite beach was across the street. World class restaurants were everywhere!!

Only downside was pool was small but we didn’t need it as beach was very close.
