Carlisle Bay is the most beautiful place; elegant, understated buildings set among a forest of plants and flowers, leading onto a gorgeous beach. The plants are so lush it's like Kew Gardens on sea! HIghlights for me were breakfast at Indigo on the Beach where you can have a huge and varied breakfast while looking out to sea; Pilates lessons... more

What a fantastic place, It ticked all the boxes for us. The food was outstanding, with great variation. The pool is stunning and beautifully warm, excellent for my 4year old (and me) The villas are beautifullly presented and serviced twice a day, and the beach is paradise, warm clean sea, and the staff were exceptional. We will definately return, I'd... more

The worst place I have ever visited! I booked a week at CB as a surprise for my husband's 50th birthday. We were to arrive on the 13th and I had arranged to fly his 2 daughters out on the 14th for this birthday as another surprise. The holiday was booked last July and everybody knew it was top secret... more

Having visited Carlisle Bay twice recently, we cannot understand how there have been any negative reports about this hotel. When we visited the hotel for the first time, we found the whole experience so fantastic that we returned for our honeymoon and would have no hesitation in returning again in the future, hopefully later this year. The hotel was in... more

I am in the process of booking a winter holiday and have been recommended this web-site but I have to say I am a little sceptical about some of the opinions!

We were married at Carlisle Bay in October 2007 . We chose to get married at Carlisle Bay as we had been there twice before and thought it would be the perfect spot to tie the knot. We were not disappointed. The hotel is situated on the edge of the rainforrest on a beautiful bay with all the rooms spread... more

We were very disappointed with Carlisle Bay. The hotel website mentions a kids club but emphasises elegance and luxury, and the hotel brochure does not mention kids at ALL. Previous reviews mention that the kids and adults mix is not a problem at this hotel, so as a group of 4 adults we were expecting a relaxing "adult" time, but... more

I think Carlisle Bay was absolutely gorgeous, however, the experience we had on our honeymoon has taken me over a year to write because I was left so upset with the experience. First of all, all our travel agents materials said it was our honeymoon, but no-one even bothered to congratulate us when we arrived. When three days in some... more

We very much enjoyed our stay at the hotel during April, 2008. We travel with our 3-year old little girl and booked a beach suite for our stay. When we take a holiday, we go to relax. There are no to-do lists, no guidebooks...just relaxation. And, this is an absolutely wonderful place to just "chill out" on the beach. Very... more
