It is an older property. Everything is very clean. Buffet breakfast was excellent. One woman at front desk was pretty brusque, almost unfriendly.

If you are interested in rejuvenating yourself…Xandari is the place. The staff are very friendly and outstanding at ensuring you have all your needs met. This property makes you feel like you are secluded from the world. You must get a massage. This was our second trip and will return again.

How far in advance should I book my Carmen holiday?
While prices do change, we generally advise booking your flight as soon as possible. Most international fares become available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If you're booking last minute, you might still get lucky. Cheap journeys to Carmen occasionally appear only weeks before departure.
What does an Expedia Carmen travel package include?
From hotels and airfares to rental cars, Expedia can help you put together a Carmen package that fits you. Heading off for a while? Look into a hotel, rental car and flight bundle. If you can only manage a quick getaway, a hotel and flight deal could be more your style. Experiences can also be added once you've made your booking. Our travel packages make it simple to save and plan.
What should I know before booking a Carmen travel package?
Bundling your bookings into a Carmen holiday package is the easiest way to organise your trip. Not only that, you'll get great discounts just for combining your flights, hotels and car rentals. Once you've booked, why not add on a tour or an activity?

Definitely. Expedia has more than 550 partner airlines to select from around the globe. With so much choice, finding the right carrier to get you to Carmen will be a snap.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Carmen holiday package?
We totally understand that sometimes life doesn't go according to plan. If you've locked in a Carmen holiday package and need to change or cancel it, we can help. It's always worth visiting our Customer Service Portal first for information. But generally speaking, if you've booked your package in the last 24 hours, you may be able to change your itinerary free of charge. If it's more than 24 hours, your hotel, airline or car rental company may impose a fee.
