Carmelina Resort is a beautiful, clean sanctuary perfect for those seeking a remote escape. From the moment you arrive, the staff impresses with their genuine helpfulness and courtesy, even providing a personal tour of the grounds and a refreshing passion fruit juice. The resort’s commitment to sustainability is a highlight; they grow their own produce in on-site gardens, which adds a special touch to the experience.
Families will find plenty to do: there are three swimming pools (including a saltwater option), an indoor kids' club, and an outdoor playground that, while a bit dated, appears mostly safe. Children will love feeding the fish and visiting the pet rabbits. For adults, there is a pool table and family movie nights.
The breakfast spread was a highlight of our stay, featuring fresh, vibrant produce harvested directly from the resort's own organic gardens. It featured an egg station and two types of noodle soup. However, it became very crowded and busy during our weekend stay due to a large two-day corporate team-building event. Since the location is remote, you are limited to the hotel for other meals, which can be expensive and offer a smaller selection. Note that weekends can get crowded with corporate team-building events.
