Ciel y Miel

Ciel y Miel

10/10 Excellent
"I dont normally leave reviews, but Ciel y Miel was an absolute gem. We will 100% be staying again. The view alone is worth the stay (breathtaking). The staff is incredible, they made us feel like their only guests in every way. And the food is to die for! I have two new all-time-favorite dishes after dining here. There are a limited number of units, making the experience feel very exclusive. We had the private beach all to ourselves for an entire afternoon. If you're into the all-inclusive experience, stay at Dreams. If you want a once in a lifetime experience, I cannot recommend Ciel y Miel enough!"

"Here's a natural, conversational review in English: We had a wonderful stay here. The hotel is beautiful, with an amazing pool overlooking both the ocean and the rainforest. Everything was very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The owner even helped arrange transportation for us to a nearby island beach, which we really appreciated. The water was crystal clear and perfect for swimming. The food was also excellent. We have some dietary restrictions, but there were still plenty of delicious options for us. The fried fish was outstanding, the chicken was delicious, and the breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. We stayed in a smaller room, but it was very comfortable. There was a king-size bed for us, and our adult children each had their own separate bed. I highly recommend this place. Honestly, it’s the kind of destination where you can completely relax and never feel the need to leave the property. It was a true 100% vacation experience."

"Una experiencia única, por la belleza natural del entorno en que se encuentra la propiedad, las vistas de 180 grados de la costa del Caribe y la bonita arquitectura de la vivienda. La casa está rodeada de grandes ventanales que te permiten disfrutar de las vistas desde el salón, la cocina y las habitaciones. Además, de manera totalmente privada. La dueña de la casa, Rachel, es de una gran amabilidad y eficiencia, contestó todas nuestras preguntas con rapidez y nos dio consejos muy útiles. Difícil de mejorar. Un diez. "
