We spent a wonderful week at caracara in september, the accommodation is spacious, spotless and provides everything you need.

We also stayed here for just over a week in late September/ early October and can only reconfirm all of the comments made by those who have stayed before us.

We stayed here for a week in September and had a great time - it's peaceful, the scenery is stunning and we were well looked after by Ken and Kay - they couldn't help us enough with any accommodation queries we had, giving us good tips on where to go and setting up the badminton court for us to play...

The apartment was great - easily the best equipped apartment we have ever stayed in; the owners had anticipated everything that we might need. The rooms were cool and spacious, and the window shutters ensured... More

we booked Caracara for 4 nights and we were not disappointed! The villa is beautiful with the ground floor being a fully contained apartment with all mod cons. The patio doors from the main bedroom opened out to the pool. The kitchen/dining room was absolutely huge. An en-suite bathroom and another shower room were very convenient. Ken and Kay were... More
