My stay at Don Carlos was quite a mixed bag. While the beach access and stunning views from the room were highlights of my trip, the overall experience was marred by overpriced amenities and some service hiccups. The spacious room was lovely, but I felt that certain facilities like the indoor pool being extra charged were a letdown. Overall, it's a picturesque place but does have its drawbacks regarding pricing.

The hotel's location near the beach was fantastic, allowing easy access to beautiful coastal spots. However, it was a bit isolated from busier areas, which might be a downside for some.

The facilities were generally good, but I was disappointed that access to the indoor pool incurred additional charges. The outdoor pool area was enjoyable.

My stay at Don Carlos was nothing short of amazing. The hotel provides excellent features like attention to detail and stunning breakfast options. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, yet there were a few service hiccups in the dining area that need addressing. Overall, I'd say it's a luxurious escape that still has some room for improvement.

The hotel has some great features, particularly the beautiful grounds and the excellent breakfast options, which I truly enjoyed each morning. However, the rooms are quite outdated and need refreshing, which detracted from the overall experience. The service was generally good but had moments of disorganization that affected my stay somewhat. Additionally, the location, although near the beach, left much to be desired as it felt isolated from more vibrant areas.
Rooms

The rooms were spacious but very dated, lacking the luxury I expected from a five-star hotel. There was noticeable wear and tear, including a weirdly con-caved floor. With some updating, they could be much better.

The hotel's location is a bit secluded, being near the beach but quite far from other attractions and restaurants. I found it limiting as it took some effort to venture out.

Breakfast was a highlight with a wide variety of options and excellent quality. However, the dining experiences outside of breakfast didn’t quite match that standard.

The hotel grounds were beautifully landscaped, featuring lovely gardens and some appealing communal spaces. However, the pool area felt cramped and less inviting than I hoped.

The Don Carlos Resort is a stunning hotel that made our family holiday truly unforgettable. The amenities were top-notch, especially the pools and kids club, which kept the children entertained while we relaxed. The dining options were fantastic, with a variety of delicious food to choose from, but the nighttime entertainment didn’t quite fit my taste. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and can't wait to return.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying stunning ocean views and great facilities. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the service was top-notch, always ready to assist. However, I felt that the dining options could have been a bit better in variety. Overall, it was a great experience, just a couple of areas could use some improvement.
