When we first arrived we told them we are honeymooners so they gave us a sealed CD as a gift we were like ok that's cute, though, normally hotels would do much more for honeymooners BUT when we checked out they told us " we gave you a CD when you first came please return it " HOW RUDE !!... More

This sprawling complex topped with a large tower block deserves its five stars. Rooms are big, clean and well furnished. Bathrooms are luxuriously equipped with Moulton Brown toiletries and good linen and robes. Pool and grounds look lovely. Staff friendly and efficient. However, everything looks and feels like an up-market business hotel from the 1970's, lots of marble and big... More

The Location is simply best. It is right on the Nikki Beach. The Breakfast was simply awesome. I got a room upgrade. The view was breath taking with having Sea on the left and Mountains on the right. Will love to stay there gain and again. More

On a visit to relatives on the Costa. After staying in a friend's appartment we needed somewhere to stay for a couple of weeks. We checked out all the 'good' hotels and finally decided to stay at the Don Carlos. Why? It's modern, grand but unpretentious, with spacious lounges with white marble floors and modern furniture and attractive floral (in... More

This hotel is large and quite soulless. The rooms are all pretty much the same, although some do have quite good views. If you have the misfortune to be ill, as I was, don't depend on the tv for company, unless you like watching 24 hour news on repeat. There are few English language channels. Room service food was tasteless....... More

We stayed for a week at the Don Carlos and from the moment we arrived until we left we were treated like royalty. It may have been a bit quiet from the 6th of November but that added to the exclusivity. I would like to think that we will visit again. We were upgraded to what we would consider to... More

Attended a business convention in October and staff veyr friendly and accommodating, room very pleasant. Nice grounds. Some of the pool restaurant/cafe staff didn't seem to think that serving customers was a priority - the one bad note. More

I visited at the beginning of October looking for a quick escape. I travelled alone and from the moment my taxi parked up in front of the hotel entrance I was treated like a royal! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Enthusiastic, genuine, warm and kind. They call themselves the Happy Making Team and they lived up to... More

Huge reception and public spaces - high ceilings, glass and not much furniture. Not really my type of place. Went for a drink. The bar was nice but the service was a bit slow and the prices were high. Wouldn't rush back More

Having just checked out of the Don Carlos hotel I can safely say that I've never been more dissappointed by a hotel, and I've stayed at well over 300 hotels in my life. I first stayed at Don Carlos in 2002 and its hard to describe how far downhill the hotel has gone since then. As we checked in, the... More
