My stay at Cariblue Beach And Jungle Resort was quite enjoyable overall. I loved the beautiful natural surroundings, including the trees where I spotted sloths and howler monkeys 🦜. The breakfast was delicious, though I wished for more variety at dinner, as it felt a bit basic and expensive. The location was a bit out of town, which made some walks challenging, but taxis were easy to use when heading to the nearby nightlife.

My stay at Cariblue Beach And Jungle Resort had its highs and lows. The resort's location is fantastic, right next to the beach and surrounded by stunning jungle, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the accommodations had some issues such as poor water pressure in the shower and inconsistent internet connectivity. Overall, it offered a beautiful experience, but with some maintenance concerns that need addressing.

The resort had nice facilities like a pool and a yoga deck, but some areas seemed to be in need of maintenance. The bicycle rentals were a fun way to explore the area, but they were a bit rusty and not very well-kept.

Staying at Cariblue was a mixed experience for me. The location is stunning, nestled in a beautiful jungle just a short walk from the beach. Unfortunately, many facilities like the wifi were spotty, and I encountered issues with maintenance in the room. However, I appreciated the helpful staff and the overall atmosphere of the resort, which has great potential.
