Hotel Carasco

Hotel Carasco

8/10 Good
"I cannot emphasize enough the absolute beauty of this property. The hotel is situated on a cliffside about a 15 minute walk from Marina Corta. The pool and rocky sea-access are breathtaking. If you snag a chair in the morning, which were sometimes hard to come by with people "reserving" chairs with towels, you can spend the day lounging and taking dips into the ocean. Incredible. Breakfast was included, though a little basic, but the views from the restaurant alone make up for it. The AC worked well in the rooms, which were a little basic, but we were not expecting perfection on an island. There is a small, reasonably well air conditioned gym in a room by the pool. The restaurant for dinner was fine, but I would recommend going into town to eat. The staff were friendly and helpful and the bartenders were great. I really cannot emphasize enough, however, how beautiful this place is. I had a great stay."

"Staff were amazing, A Air conditioning worked perfectly. Our Superior Sea View room had a great view. The pool was our favourite part, as the weather never dropped below 30 degrees, it was refreshing to have to say the least. Only a few minutes to walk into the town/main streets."

"The hotel is a bit remote. We contacted the hotel to arrange the shuttle while we were on the ferry, but were told we had to call, which we weren’t able to do at the time. This made the arrival a little inconvenient. The pool has a beautiful view, although there aren’t quite enough lounge chairs for all the guests. Overall, though, we had a nice stay. The staff was friendly, the hotel was clean, and we enjoyed our time there."
