Villa El Carmen Gran Pacifica Reef Beach Hotels

"The place is nice with the beach and swimming pool. Their bathrooms are terrible on the resort. Also the cleanness of the rooms are okayeesh. But the bathroom looks really old and needs more work. Also the house keepers are very protective and slow on replying for extra towels or toilet papers. The rooms has a lot of insects entering due to cracks through the doors and window. This place needs a lot of fixing in order to maintain tourists coming from out of the country. Because it seems like the locals are the only ones keeping them up float. The only great plus I can give them is their swimming pool and beach. But staying there I wouldn’t recommend it just because of how the rooms are pourly maintained. Also the dinner is great but it seems they reuse some of the food from lunch. "

"This is a paradise. A must to visit place. In order to actually understand my words, you must visit this place."

"Read well what your actually getting..very clean.very helpful staff"

"Used the pool everyday. Would have been nice to have had a booklet with information about the area. Didn’t know a lot about area til a few days before we were going home. Was a nice place, nice and secluded. Needed some creature comforts."

"Great locations, great community, great surfing. House is in good shape and has adequate equipment to cook and prepare meals. Beach is a two minute walk. My only suggestion is a little PM on windows/sliding door/screens. We will definitely visit again if we are able. Thanks for having us."

"We stayed at this beautiful home for our large family reunion and it exceeded our expectations. Everyone had a fantastic time. We all loved the pool, playing ping pong, beach volleyball and being able to walk onto the sand and enjoy the waves. We even witnessed a sea turtle laying eggs right on the beach in front of the house. The caretakers were outstanding. Karina deserves special recognition-her cooking was absolutely delicious. She prepared a wide variety of meals, included dishes we requested that she had never made before, and they all turned out fantastic. She also managed to cook the perfect amount for our large group. One morning, her husband took us to buy fish and shrimp, fresh off the fishing boats. It’s rare to find a place that checks so many boxes. This home and the caretakers truly stand out, and we would happily return in the future."

"I was a little disappointed that's a beach front resort does not recommend swimming in the ocean because they say it is unsuitable. Also, where I stayed, there was some construction going on. "
