Disliked: Amenities
The food is terrible - over cooked and the same at the buffets every day - the specialty restaurants if you can get a table aren’t much better. No pool service and the evening entertainment was also poor. We had delayed flights and let them know that we would be arriving within the first 24 hours but when we got there they wouldn’t let us into our rooms until 3pm as that was the next days check in even though we had paid for the previous day on full. This is NOT a 5 star hotel - at best a 3 star

Simply amazing, the hotel was beautiful, clean and full of character. The staff were exceptional. I was always greeted with a friendly smile from everyone. I can’t thank them enough for making my stay so fabulous. The hotel was right on the beach which was immaculate.

I love Karamboa
Amazing relaxing stay - nothing but perfection. this is a large and palatial complex right on the beach, 5 mins from the airport (no noise from planes)... All needs catered for (we are a family with 3yo and 8yo). there were about 6 Pools altogether (prob over 100m in total length) and all were freshwater (important for kids) - rooms were spacious and cleaned impeccably, (decor is a little bit dated) fantastic variety and quantity of food and drinks - esp my favourites: fish, seafood & salads. plus pastas, chips and pizzas for the kids. Its a marvel considering the difficulties of import in that area... I dont personally drink alcohol but there was plenty on offer including soft drinks and non alcoholic cocktails Fantastic entertainment team - daily wellness/ aqua sport/ kids show, evening entertainment. the crowd were largely british and very friendly chilled out types. Well located for island tours also - we particularly enjoyed the south tour to Santa Monica beach. whlae watching was good but not for the faint hearted in choppy waters. We would come back in a heartbeat. good value aswell Only possible considerations could be to add a shaded area in the main pools perhaps with a thatch from old coconut leaves, update the colour of the room blankets to a more fresh colour, and repair the missing tiles in the pool. NONE of this would detract from the fact we loved every part of our holiday here - and THANK the team massively for our much needed family getaway

Lots of amenities to fully enjoy the holidays (swimming pools,bars, restaurants, evening shows ,excursions). Unfortunately for there isn't much choice for people who don't eat pork as most of the meals have pork in them. I was also disgusted to see coackroches in the halls and even in my room.
