We absolutely LOVED staying here in this wonderful location. The pool was just outside our door. We enjoyed a fab little kitchen. There’s a path to cross the street to the beach at the Marriott. This is also near the Ritz Carlton. Look and compare. My wife won $150.00 in the Marriott Casino. Near best beaches and sea turtles at Tres Trapi and California Lighthouse……Perfect for drone and photos at sunset. They are so gracious and helpful. We stayed 10 days.

Karibu is a wonderful small boutique hotel. If you are looking to enjoy quiet time by the pool, away from the crowds or a day at the beach, this is the place. It is impeccably clean. Beja and Andras are very accommodating hosts.
