Rio Dulce Holidays from AU$552

What a delight to find. The rooms were big and clean. The complementary breakfast was delicious and more than enought. But the best part was the huge garden on the property with paths and benches. So many birds and a few squirrels. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful property with incredibly friendly staff. There is a convenient tienda right next to the property, and the walk down to the main square is short and easy. The location felt perfect for exploring Antigua. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic, and the coffee is the perfect start for your adventure into the city. I will absolutely stay here again on my next visit.

Absolutely lovely place. Beautiful, comfy beds, great terrace. The food was our favorite meal of the trip. Noel, great waiter, made us feel like we were at home. Will be back.

Woww! 10/10 recommend!! This hotel is super unique and incredibly beautiful! The architecture blends nature with old colonial style. The room we were given was huge, but no windows only a skylight in the living room area. The room had a huge jacuzzi, large shower and bathroom, and was very comfortable. The amenities are jaw dropping. There is an art museum on-site, gorgeous pool area with bar, an on-site bar, a coffee station, beautifully decorated gardens with volcano and mountain views, shops, fountains, gym and more! This hotel is a MUST if youre visiting Antigua! We stayed here our last night and glad we saved the best for last!

I recently stayed at Hotel El Carmen and overall had a really good experience. The staff honestly made the whole trip—they were so friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything. The room was very clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. At one point the showerhead broke, but they came and fixed it right away with no hassle, so everything stayed smooth. One of my favorite parts was the view—the volcano was absolutely beautiful, and we could even see smoke coming from it. That alone made the stay feel special. The food was a bit hit or miss. Breakfast was great and dessert was definitely a highlight, but dinner wasn’t my favorite. The drinks also weren’t very strong, which was a little disappointing. That said, the staff really made this place stand out for me. Their energy and hospitality were the best part of the whole experience, and I’d still come back because of that.
