Caretta Paradise Resort & WaterPark

We returned from our holiday on Saturday 26th October 2024 after a week at this hotel and we will not be returning. I know it was end of season and the hotel was closing but the food in the restaurants was cold, with limited choice and it seemed to be the same food every day the snack bar was ok but often the food there was cold too, we eat out 4 nights of the 7. The staff we're ok never really smiled or got any conversation from them or found them very helpful. The drinks were watered down and the entertainment was poor. The pools were ice cold, the water park was fun but slides are rapid. The room was ok, clean and basic but the smell from the drain was disgusting, we was in E block at the bottom of the complex with a swim up room and the beds were rock hard, woke everyday with back ache. There was every little around the hotel, taxi into the town was €10 or about a 30 minute walk but beach was about a 5 minute walk but was full of stones. Half of the machines in the arcade did not work. I do not recommend this hotel and will not be returning.

Amazing weeks holiday! I was a little apprehensive before going after reading some reviews, but honestly we had the BEST time here. The rooms were clean, spacious and we even had a sea view from our balcony. It has a fridge and kettle (though no cups?!) and everything else you’d expect. We also had Netflix in the room which was a bonus! There is so much to do for kids. The splash parks were amazing and the life guards and staff were so friendly! The hotel is spotless and you get a little buggy to take you to your room on arrival. We checked in early and our room was ready when we got there. We were by the pool by lunchtime. The animation team were 10/10 and made you feel so involved and welcome. They did karaoke some evenings and the team were amazing at getting you hyped up, dancing with you and just putting you at ease. So much so my 5 year old got up and sang…twice! There is a huge play park behind the arena with bouncy castles, trampolines etc. these are charged extra but it was 10 euros for the inflatables and they could come and go as they pleased all night. Well worth it! The only niggle for that is if you want a drink down there you have to pay, however it was close enough that we sat at the AI bit and could still see the kids. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the food. All the food was fine and what you’d expect from an AI however it could have done with being a bit warmer, especially the snack bar. The food from the snack bar was cold though not inedible. The kids enjoyed the ice cream available everyday from the snack bar but there was no ice cream in the restaurants which meant kids puddings were lacking. No a deal breaker but worth thinking about in terms of improvements. Considering we were there until the last day when it closed for winter, we were not once made to feel unwanted or rushed out. The staff were incredible and I would not hesitate to return. In fact, we are already looking at next year!

This hotel, in my opinion, is more a 3 star than a 4 and overpriced for what you get..the hotel is clean and I couldn’t fault the cleanliness of the rooms or the staff. Even though it’s almost the end of the season, there was still loads of things open both inside and out of the complex..you can hire cars, quad bikes etc from across the road and there were still most trips running..only this I would say is don’t rely on the service bus because it very rarely comes out of season and doesn’t seem to stick to any timetable when it does.. The food, like most all inclusive, was very similar most nights and became very “ boring “ after a couple of days..you couldn’t fault the freshness of the food, it was just the same sort of thing, day after day..do watch out for the bar and fun fair bit because they are not part of your all inclusive package..night time entertainment was very poor and, depending on where you are, we were block B, you’ll get woken up by the Cockerel at any given hour..not ideal if you want a lie in.. Overall, it’s not a bad hotel at all, you know what to expect at all inclusive hotels, I just felt, for the money we paid, it could have been a bit better than it was..

Great family hotel for the price !! We will start with the positives, amazing slides and pools (although NONE of them are heated so enter at your own risk) but slides and kids areas are incredible. Our room had its own infinity pool, and was great, we could stay there till lunch (when we lost the sun) and move to another one of the main pools. The evening entertainment is good, most of it is free (€5 for bingo but you win a T-shirt) . There is arcades attached to the hotel which you do pay extra for. Most of it wasn’t working which I presume isn’t normal as they had 10 days left of the season before they close for the winter so everything was gearing down The food, we preferred the main restaurant over the burger house . Bella Gusto needs booking in the morning on a first come first serve basis and can be booked multiple times, there is an A La Carte on site that you can use once during your stay and the mixed meat platter and Lamb were amazing. Food in the buffet restaurant was repetitive but we were able to find something everyday and were happy with our choices. Rooms were lovely, cleaned daily. However lacked storage (4 coat hangers in a room for 4 people) but that’s me being picky, the room was air conditioned and beds were comfy and we had a pool so very impressed !! Would definitely visit again, the hotel was lovely, the swimming facilities were great and we were very happy with our room. We hired a car for a day to see the island as busses aren’t regular and taxis can be expensive (€10 euros for a 7 mins journey) however a word of warning be prepared for STEEP hills and very windy narrow roads !!

The holiday was amazing and the hotel was great amazing people and great entertainment people that make u feel welcome and treat u amazing especially in the games and a big credit to all of the people that help the shows are amazing especially the fire show

Outstanding resort for families with kids :) so many things to do, never a dull moment. Great food, waterpark &fun park. Great activities like minidisco every night. Stroller friendly everywhere. Super close to the beach as well. Perfect! We even got our room upgraded to a private pool with sea view one for no reason. Loved it, highly recommand it ❤️
