My stay at Caroline's was a mix of highs and lows. The view from the bungalow was absolutely stunning, and the accommodations were private and beautifully decorated. However, the service left much to be desired, from lack of cleaning to poor breakfast options. The location is secluded, which can be great for privacy, but it made accessing nearby restaurants a bit challenging without a way to get around easily.
