Hotel Caribe by Faranda Grand: Did not Disappoint

We chose this hotel for our first visit to Colombia because of the open air animal sanctuary and it did not disappoint. In fact, the animals at the resort were the highlight of the trip for me. When else can you wake up to beautiful weather, grounds and feed the deer, a toucan or a peacock? When we were lucky enough to catch a sloth making it's way to a tree...well that was it. It couldn't get any better! The room itself is a bit dated and the shower door didn't close which seemed to be a known [... read more] issue based on the wad of tape at the top of the door to try to get it to stay closed but this was just a minor annoyance. There is a window in the room looking out to the beach but unfortunately, it did not open. The lap pool was great for a morning swim which opens at 8am. The hotel has a large private area on the beach where you can relax in peace on a bed and there is never an issue finding an available spot. There is even a towel attendant so no need to bring one from the pool. The restaurant right next to is is convenient for grabbing a cocktail or a light lunch. The service was impeccable esp when I mentioned that my daughter had gotten sick and asked if a late checkout was possible. Not only was it not an Issue, they sent up a doctor and the manager immediately to see if they could help - all free of charge. I would definitely stay here again if and when I return to Cartagena.

Radisson Aquatica: Relax and enjoy!

This was a clean hotel with all of the amenities that we needed and the option to pay for meals on the days that we wanted to stay put. The resort food is decent but a little in the pricey side. Tips are included but you can add more for extra special service of course. Shayne and his beach team were exceptional and made sure to have an umbrella available for my aging momma every day during our two week stay. Recommend grabbing some essential snacks or simple groceries if you’re on a budget and  [... read more]checking out Sage Restaurant nearby if you’re looking for veggie or vegan options.

Radisson Grenada Beach Resort: Beautiful hotel

The Radisson Grenada Beach resort has beautiful grounds, an amazing large pool, and an awesome location directly on the best beach in Grenada. We were pretty nervous going in due to all the negative reviews but took a chance because of the location. While it’s true that the rooms are in need of renovation, we really had no complaints about our room, which was on the third floor of the Executive Beachfront building. It is a four story building with one elevator. We heard that the rooms in tha [... read more]t building are quite similar to other rooms but more spacious with more spacious bathrooms. The bathroom had one sink with lots of counter space and a bathtub/shower combo. There was an extendable clothesline in the tub. There was a hairdryer and several toiletries (lotion, body wash, conditioner) but no shampoo. Getting hot water in the shower was hit and miss. Outside the bathroom there was a small counter area with a coffee maker, kettle, and mini fridge. Coffee and fixings were provided along with decaffeinated tea but no regular tea. Two bottles of water were provided each day. The bed and bedding were comfortable but the sheets were only changed once in 7 days. There’s a card to put on the bed if a change of sheets is desired. The first time we used the card the sheets were changed but the second time the card was ignored. Other than that housekeeping was okay but not excellent. The balcony was spacious and had a table with two chairs and of course an amazing view. The included breakfast buffet was adequate, not outstanding. There was an omelette station which was very popular. The hotel was quite full when we were there and the service at breakfast was poor to non existent. Several days we had to clear a table ourselves, hunt down cutlery, and no one ever came to offer coffee or tea. It seemed the staff were working hard, there just weren’t enough of them to keep up with the number of guests. Despite how busy the hotel was, we never felt like the pool or the beach were too crowded, and we were always able to find lounge chairs. We never had a problem getting beach towels from the towel hut. We only ate dinner at the hotel one night and found the food to be mediocre. There are several good casual dining options within walking distance along the beach in both directions. There is a boutique store at the resort and a grocery store across the road. If taking US money (which is widely accepted), make sure there are no tiny tears or writing on the bills as they will not be accepted. Overall, we were happy with our stay at the Radisson Grenada.

Radisson Grenada Beach Resort: Beautiful location

As it was off season I thought everything was very nice, staff very welcoming and helpful with any questions presented. Learned alot about culture and the sights were adventurous We would return to the same room

Radisson Grenada Beach Resort: Peaceful escape

Very nice hotel. Quiet with clean spacious rooms, pleasent staff and great food on site. Not for those looking for an energetic resort feeling. Better for relaxing or for using s a base to expore the island.

Radisson Decapolis: Nice hotel, excellent location

We enjoyed our stay at Radisson Decapolis. Clean rooms, good facilities, friendly staff, excellent service. I would stay here again, and would recommend it to my friends. The location is very convenient, adjacent to Multicentro, Casino, short walk to Cinta Costera

Radisson Decapolis: Great hotel

Very nice hotel, great service. My extra bed was uncomfortable and they switched it for me no problem. Beautiful outdoor pool with a hot tub and chairs to lie down on. There is also a shaded area for those who don't want to be in the direct sun.

Radisson Decapolis: LOW CLASS HELL HOLE

This hotel does not meet international standards. The rooms are spacious,but they are poorly maintained. The first room they gave me, the AC was not cooling properly, I could not sleep, because the air was stuffy. The vent for the AC was dark grey with thick dust. I went to take a bath and the bath tub was also very dirty. I went to use the toilet and the seat was shifting from side to side. I had to let the tap run for 4 to 5 minutes before the hot water came and in the night no hot water, a la [... read more]te shower was not possible. They changed my room which was a hassle for me a 74year old senior citizen. The bed lamp had no bulb, when they brought one, the lamp started blinking. no one answers the phone after11.30p.m. I could not get a wake up call and missed my morning appointment. I went to take a bath after a long day and the bath stopper was not working. I requested to see the GM of the hotel, he did not even respond to my request, and he never even acknowledge that I was a guest there. The guest service rep was sympathetic and helpful, but his requests on my behalf depended on management, who did not respond. I went to the gym, after my work out they said I have to pay $20.00 for a sauna or steam. I explained to them that the website did not state there was a charge for this. ON top of all his they are charging $5.00 for a 500ml bottle of water, because the tap water is not drinkable. I could go on and on but I will stop here.

Radisson Aquatica: 0k Resort

The hotel was ok but not great. Front desk staff were great but can't say that for the rest of the staff. Housekeeping shows up at 5pm to clean the room. Says they offer room service but the staff won't answer the phone. Sitting in the restaurant, you can hear the phone ringing and ringing. Staff treated you with indifference like you were an inconvenience to them. Would not recommend this hotel. only thing going for it is location and the rooms were clean. They are having a bad problem with sea [... read more]weed, so the beach isn't as clean as others.

Delta Hotels Orlando Celebration: Great location...Radisson

Love this resort for the location, pools and generally overall. However I have stayed there three times now and this time I requested adjoining accessible rooms which I didn't get. Also the rooms were on the first floor and they definitely need the carpets replaced. The buffet breakfast was great as usual but the prices have gone up. Service was good.

Radisson Blu Hotel: Radisson blu hotel

A home away from home. Clean facilities are accessible anytime, inclusive breakfast is marvelous with great service. Awesome view overlooking Athens and Acropolis. Receptionists are very helpful and welcoming. 10/10 rating. Thank you for the great time with you guys

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort: Beautiful Hotel

The Radisson was a beautiful resort, friendly staff, great food, beautiful pools, wonderful beach, great weather, clean rooms, robes were cozy to wear, AC was a bit noisy, rooms were big, beds were so comfortable, pillows too, only complaint was that we didn't get a king bed, I booked this trip in Oct. management wanted to move us the next day but to a lower floor, the lower floors don't have a great view of ocean so we declined. Were married 43 years so we just kept our two doubles. I've been t [... read more]o Aruba four times, it's safe, lots of shopping, buses cost $2.30 one way, taxis $15.00 to city. The island people are wonderful as well as all the people who work on the island. Amazing resturant, very very very hot and windy but we love it. Aruba is the place to go for a great relaxing vacation. Thanks to the Radisson, Trip Central and Air Canada for a wonderful vacation.
