The main building was beautiful with high arched ceilings. It was beautifully decorated and fresh flowers daily. The water features were lovely, with some large fish in some. The restaurant we used was the large one down stairs. We used the smaller room off the main as it was air-conditioned and less busy. Our room was on the 3rd floor of one of the annexes, and was wonderful, - beautifully appointed, with a balcony overlooking the excellent pool. The staff were very friendly and gave excellent service without exception. The buffet dinners and breakfast were excellent. Sorry - keep repeating excellent but it all was! Loved the wonderfully maintained gardens. Also used the beach bar which was right on the beach and very friendly service (Must mention Dev who made me the best ever margaritas.) As we were at the end of the monsoon season, it wasn't doing food all day, but we tried a beach bar snack one evening before dinner and it was delicious.

I was here to Celebrate my Husbands Birthday. It was our First outing together and hence wanted it to be the Best Memory for our Life time. Which certainly happened with the help of: Ritu Ma'am (Head of Housekeeping Dept) Miss Josh (Sales and Event Dept) Mr. MINGUEL(Manager of Housekeeping Team) And last but not the least Miss Marlin (housekeeping Staff) This team made sure that every thing was upto the mark and kept upto my expectations. The Room decor was very nice simple and sober. My Husband Loved the Surprise. Thanks a Ton to the team for making may expectations come true without me being there to guide them. I would also Like to get into your notice about the restaurant an attendee named Melvin (Ala Cart restaurant) One of the best attendee you will find amongst the bunch of an Excellent Staff.

Property has breathetaking view. They charge money for guests to ch use hot tub. We were sold new year gala package without giving us a table. We had to fight with them to get a table at a reasonable spot since it was heavy entry fee for new year party. Staff was helpful overall un helping resolve issues as we encountered them.

Caravela is awesome

Beautiful pool , pristine private beach , great attention to detail with facilities & features provided and staff /service always with a smile & forever helpful. Great Buffet breakfast included with many live cooking stations & multi cuisine options to cover entire family & friends tastes , Buffet dinner & a la carte options were regular city prices so not hotel expensive .Only slight downside for some but what we wanted is that is away from the hustle & bustle so hailing bypass transport was harder but with apps was easy to book with goamiles or via hotel guest relations desk .free wifi - 2 devices per booking - mostly good but as widespread resort sometimes would drop out even though can see the resort trying with wifi boosters on trees etc .several activities on offer daily free to cheap including 9 hole golf with a caddy .we totally loved it & would definitely go again & next time for longer hopefully
