Hotel Caribe by Faranda Grand, a member of Radisson Individuals

The staff are a credit to the hotel, courteous and friendly. Very professional. The gardens are very impressive with live animals and well maintained

Excellent location, spacious, comfortable, lots of beds at the pool and a safe space by the beach. It was clean and all indoor places had blasting AC to beat the 107F weather. To get to my room, there was no indoor passage, so the 3min walk was heavy on the heat hahaha. Food was good, buffet breakfast and lunch, and a l carte dinner. Optional all inclusive or pay per meal. Lunch and Dinner were typically around $35 per person. I consider it a little pricey considering so many restaurants nearby, but the food was good and the comfort worth it. Room was good, bed was fairly comfortable, and the shower pressure was good. Hotel provides shampoo, conditioner, soap, bath gel, hair dryer, and safe in the closet. The spa is small but with different massage services, Turkish bath and hot tub. The room is equipped with a mini bar with drinks and snacks, at “hotel price”, good to get when in a rush, but I suggest walking out to the pharmacy less than 2 blocks away that is open 24 hours. You’ll get the same at more than half the price. The bellboys at the entrance are so helpful and very kind, either helping you or guiding you around the hotel. They also assist in getting you a taxi to get around. The hotel is well located by Bocagrande beach (hotel has a private area with lounge chairs and restaurant), and close by to the city with restaurants, souvenir shops, pharmacies and stores. There is also a small shopping mall within walking distance.

Pool was great, excellent service from the pool personnel (cleanliness, towel service, beverages etc.). Breakfast was great, too many options and good to have fresh prepared omeletes as well. Family Room size was excellent, easily accomodates 2 adults and 4 kids. Our room was not a renovated one, so the bathroom was not so great, but the room furnitures and amenities were very good.

The property premises and layout are amazing! My family and I were amazed to encounter sloths, macaw and toucan birds, deer, and other exotic animals that wander freely around the property layout. We enjoyed the spacious nicely designed pool area and Restaurante Pedro de Heredia’s MANY breakfast and dinner offerings. I especially enjoyed the “Colombian” breakfast and fresh seafood for dinner (Arroz Tierra Bomba was my fav). Overall, my favorite experiences were embracing the Colombian cultural traditions shared by both hotel staff and guest; something I have never experienced at a resort. And how ALL the hotel staff catered to my family’s needs demonstrating how important family time is to Colombians.

Friendly and helpful staff. Buffet style breakfast with a lot of selection. Pool was nice with enough sun loungers in both sun and shade. Best experience is all the animals that are there. Very quiet rooms. Very close to lots of different restaurants.
