This is, at best a 3* hotel. Breakfast was the same everyday and the food options were of poor standard. The rooms are outdated but clean. The beach is nice but difficult to swim because of rocks and urchins. The seafood restaurant by the beach serves great food but it is expensive. There were better options (food quality, ambience and value) at other restaurants a few minutes walk along the beach towards rock restaurant. Another option is a $35 round trip by taxi to Paje beach where there are some nice bars and restaurants and the atmosphere is lively. Overall, Karafuu beach is not good value for money and I would not grade it as a 5* hotel.

Staff is bending over backwards to help people and are so nice. Bugs in condiments at restaurant. Leaks in rooms. Constantly overbooked and shuffling people to other hotels even though they booked. Buffet runs out of food nightly before people have eaten. WiFi only in lobby. They refill their ketchup bottles with watered down tomato paste. Lovely property and staff, just needs better management and maintenance. Constantly having problems everyday. The management doesn’t seem to care because they are too busy. Offered free meal after finding multiple bugs in condiments and then charged for it. Not sure if communication problems or they are too busy to keep track. Staff is great at trying to keep up but obviously overwhelmed.

Hvis man er til ren afslapning og gerne bare vil koble af fra alting, aå er Karafuu stedet! Hoteller er godt placeret ved en meget lækker strand som er det smukkeste jeg har set! Personalet er meget imødekommende, og smilende! Morgenmaden er ikke noget som lige er til 5 stjerner, men ellers er alt andet godt! Vi planlægger allerede at komme der derned til december måned med vores venner!

Das Fitnesscenter ist gut ausgestatten, allerdings auch etwas wartungsbedürftig. Ob man nun 50 USD pro Woche für Wlan nehmen muss ist fraglich...Wir konnten das Gottseidank etwas reduzieren.
