I received an upgrade, great food, nice people, open wide space. We were pleased.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Bed was hard as a rock, buffet was filled with every variety of mediocre buffet-style food you could ever want, and the drunken guests were noisily stumbling down the hall at 3 am, but hey -- what else would you expect from an all-inclusive during spring break? Otherwise, the staff was ok (not overly friendly but not hostile), and the rooms were clean […] and adequate. Read more

The only good things were food in the buffet n friendly personnel. Bad n expensive Internet , old rooms, old tv, no difference between standard n VIP rooms, but charge 30$ more per person. Bad beach chairs 60% broken, not enough pool chairs, do not stay there.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Check in staff has very limited "customer care knowledge", they probably never worked in a hotel before. Upon arrival to our room we discovered the sliding door to our VIP suite balcony on the ground floor to have a broken handle and no lock, it seems this was fixed by installing a nail through the window frame before and stayed as a standard "new lock", […] the toilet water was running constantly, half the light fixtures didn't work, very little hot water electrical outlets exposed without cover plates, the internet package of 1 hr a week was declined because I didn't have a voucher, (never got it), the pool towels were so limited that people waited to get them, and when the van came with new towels, they only brought like 20 at the time, they were gone again... food was ok, drinks were ok too. We spoke Spanish, so we had an advantage... but met many people very angry because of poor communication. I asked to be moved to another Suite, since I paid extra to have VIP quality, but the said they couldn't change my room, and if they were to do so, it would be a regular room and I would still be charged as VIP, which I found it to be a rip off. now I'm back home and feel totally ripped off. You can't walk around the resort in peace without having sales people from the hotel selling you their excursions, treatments and deals... it becomes really tired-some and stressful. There are signs of deferred negligent maintenance, this place lacks focus on staying on top of things... sadly! Read more

property was nice for short stay for single adults, but better suited for families; felt like Disneyland theme park; buffet was poor; very quiet at night

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The food was awesome and the resort itself was amazing. Could have done without the people they let come into the resort to peddle. They were allowed to set up right at poolside just before the pool closed for the day and they followed you and would not leave you alone. Other than that we had a fabulous time in the DR.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great people working in the restaurants and the bars, very friendly, kind... great people; however the rooms and beds are not so good; we had to ask three times to have towels in our room. Food in restaurant was not what I was expecting (some processed and frozen food instead fresh), as well as drinks. Not too many options in the buffet.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We had a great time. The staff was great. No complants about any of the restraunts. The grounds are beautiful. The rooms need updateing . We had to change rooms because of noise.We were the first room to the entrance of the building and also were the shuttle drops and picks people up at all hours. Just like they were in the room with you it is so loud. […] I read this same complaint in reviews. Read more

The staff at the Caribe Club Princess are great. They work very hard and will go above and beyond. From the moment you arrive at the front desk you will be welcomed by the hotel staff. At the buffet's there was plenty of food and of good quality. Most people will find items they will enjoy. We ate at all of the specialty restaurants and they were great. […] Beach was nice with plenty of chairs, typical use your towel in the morning to save your spot. Pool was also fun and active to hang out at. Now the downside. The hotel is dated, especially the rooms. They need to start spending some money on updating the the rooms. They were clean but I can see where some people might not be happy because of the age. The mattresses are old although I did sleep well on it. A/C and the minnie frig worked well. Overall we were looking for a budget vacation, so we did not expect 5 stars. We had a great time at a 3.5 star hotel and it was priced right. The staff here are 5 stars and remember a small tip is greatly appreciated by all the hard working people of the Dominican Republic. We did two excursion, the Polaris buggies lots of fun and Country Express with guide Louis. Louis was awesome. Very informative and friendly. We had a blast with him. Thanks Louis! Read more

we took our kids to this hotel for 8 days. At first glance the grounds, beach, and room were beutiful. However, No hot water, no warm water. We had a whirlpool suite that we couldn't fill up because there was not only no warm or hot water, but no water pressure. We were able to fill up 1/3 of the tub in about an hour. The AC Cooled our room to a warm […] 76 degrees. it was nicer outside than in our room most days. When we called maintenance they were no help I think the guy just held a wrench and pretended to do stuff for a minute and said be back in 5 minutes never came back. Called again the next day and 2 hours later still no one there to fix our ac or hot water. So we delt with it. And don't bother asking the staff questions, they don't know anything, they are poorly trained and unhelpful. It takes about 10 minutes to get a soda at dinner, the employees all wonder around doing nothing and walking by you, and by the way they will not stop personal conversations to help customers at all. I went on an excursion and i had to wait outside the hotel gate for the transportation to pick me up. I booked the excursion through expedia. When I was done with the excursion we ordered a picture cd, guess what they still would not let the excursion company through the gate. Then when i would call the front desk to ask for something they threatened that if i didnt go to security to pick it up we would not get our extra pillow. Read more

This was my first trip to the Dominican Republic, and the hotel was nice, but the location is beautiful. The hotel room with king bed was spacious, but you are not there to spend time in your room. The pools were great, beach was pretty, restaurants with plenty of variety, and lots to drink, overall great time

Genuine Expedia guest review

I would say that overall my stay at Caribe Club Princess was very good. There were a few quirks- the AC in the room didn't work real well and the show basically had no water pressure. The AC ran the whole time just to keep in to 74-75 degrees; they should really think about replacing their system with the new modern portable wall units you see all over […] central America now.

Everything was perfect! We arrived without having any expectations and were pleasantly surprised by friendliness of staff, great location and a lot of activities the hotel had to offer. I don't have enough great words to describe the animation team - everyone was so passionate about the job they were doing (and they were doing a great job!). Food was […] fantastic - I am sure everyone can find something delicious to try and enjoy every meal either at the main buffet or at multiple restaurants/eateries. We also loved our room - simple but very cozy. Overall, great experience. We spent a few days in paradise! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you are going to this hotel expecting a nice room and food, just choose a different hotel, however if you are kind a person ( like me) that the most important is the beach and have fun I recommend besides everything the price is good because at the in a caribe what it matters is the beach

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very friendly staff. VIP upgrade worth every penny! I'd definitely return!

NOT HOT WATER IN THE SOWER

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. Requested towels, water, transportation .... TOOK FOREVER.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I've been to DR 7 times, first time at this hotel and unfortunately had bad experience with customer service. The beach is beautiful, the pools are nice, the food is good, the rooms need some reinnovating, the entertainment could be better. But I had bad customer service which makes me to never return to this hotel. It's perfect for those who wants […] cheap rates and need a place for sleep and shower. Not what I expected; the problems made my family/ wedding vacation stressful. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I booked this hotel to get married. Francelia, the wedding coordinator, was good but having a visual of packages and decor would be helpful. Now, the customer service was poor; it wasn't consistent throughout our stay. I've always used Discover credit card in all my DR travels and when I used it to pay for our wedding package; the reception said it […] was denied. From then on, it was a headache, a problem that they wanted me to fix when I told them from the beginning what the credit card company needed from the hotel. Even the general manager from guest service wanted me to resolve this. We were there for 10 days. On the 8th day, they finally understood that they had to take care of the problem; an added stress to a wedding vacation. The food was good. The service again wasn't consistent throughout our stay. I'm not sure if it's because my husband is Dominican; we were questioned hard at the security to enter the hotel. We even showed him the voucher of reservation. Wasn't pleased from the start. The beach was beautiful, clean, white sands...The entertainment was alright, some dancers looked like they were out of sync and didn't feel like dancing. The disco needs a new DJ. I felt like giving him my ipod. He needed to upgrade his playlist. This hotel is good if you're only there for the beach and excursions and just need a place for sleep and shower. I've been DR 6 times, 4 times in Punta Cana and I will definitely not come back to this place Read more

We were so disappointed in the hotel! From the second we got tho the property we knew that we were going to have problems. My husband and I had booked a king room and when we arrived we had a room with two double beds. After arguing with the from desk they finally got us a king room. When we got there they told us to leave our bags and they would be […] delivered to our rooms. So, we go to our room and when we walk in it smells terrible! The moldy smell is overbearing and we had to instantly open a door because the smell was so bad. Also, our la p was completely broken, as was our mirror. We had one towel in the bathroom and no provided toiletries in the bathroom. So, I called the front desk to tell the, about our room and to ask for a different room because of the smell. They told me to go to dinner and they would have a new room for us when we were done. We went to dinner and when we returned 1 1/2 hours later, out luggage still hadn't arrived to our room and when I called the front desk and was told that there was no empty rooms and we would just have to deal with the smell. I was livid! After throwing another fit I was told that someone would be right up with new room keys and our luggage. 2 hours later our luggage shows up, but no new keys. After calling back 5 different times, I was told that I needed to relax and to not get so worked up about it by the front desk. Needless to say we will not be going back... Read more

Nice staff and good hotel after all, for the money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed for 3 nights, and didn't like the hotels at all: need big improvements! Service is worst, drinks are not good, linens and towels looks like come from garbage! Our flight was cancelled due to Sandy, and we were happy to switch the hotel, even not thinked about extending our stay there! Choose different hotel: it's a big choice in Punta Cana. This […] one is less than 3 stars on my opinion. Read more

Great Hotel, family friendly, great environment. And most of all the staff are SUPER FRIENDLY you will feel at home. We made so many good friends there. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY

Genuine Expedia guest review

This place is paradise. I just got back yesterday and I had a great time. I feel terrible that people leave bad reviews about this place bc its not true. The staff here is incredibly hard working!! The grounds are impeccable. You have to make dinner reservations early enough so they're not all booked but its not a big deal just get it done and enjoy […] the rest of your day. I highly recommend the VIP package bc they give you a free massage, internet and premium drinks. Your wrist band means everything so definitely pay the extra and get an orange VIP band. There are daily activities, beach parties, aerobics, spa, nightly shows and there is a club on site - I never made it there bc I was always too tired from the daily activities lol. There is something for everyone. Obama truly is awesome so if you go, dont be afraid to say hello to him, Antonio and Jose. All of the other staff are equally wonderful. The room was a little dated but if you're going to stay in the room all day, you might as well stay home! There are plenty of chairs on the beach and near the pool. There are 3 large pools so how can people say they couldn't find a spot??? If you are a happy person and you go there with the intent to relax and have fun, then you will have the time of your life. If you are a negative person, go somewhere else (dont bring your negativity to this paradise). I have nothing bad to say about this wonderful resort - I really enjoyed myself. Thanks so much Caribe!!!! I'll be back soon :) Read more

Nice Hotel, Nothing fancy there but good overall.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice resort. Would recommend to others. Large, but not overwhelming. Beautifully landscaped. Lots of seaweed perhaps due to stormes, but nice beach. Did not like being approached daily for the timeshare presentation. Don't go, it's a rip-off. Never had any issues with hot water or insects as mentioned in other reviews. Buffet and restaurants where  […] fine. Read more

Best, friendly and funny bartenders, good variety of food (different theme every night). Different activities everyday and the pool was awesome. The beach wasn't all that great, because of all the algae. Great hotel, and you meet people from all over the world.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Although the potential is certainly there, my experience was certainly not a good one, they could not even tell me how to get to the hotel after talking to 6 or 7 different people on 6 or 7 different occasions, but this is not the problem.Took over an hour to check in and it was not a busy time, there is no internet service other than in lobby which […] is a 1/2 mile from where you stay. The main restaurant is great, the speciality ones very sub average. There are too many guests for the number of plates, cups and silverware so always short, not enough pool chairs, etc. They run on a volume situation attracting Dominicans at one of the best rates locally but you pay a price if you want service.

Staff In a hotel is horrible. They do not have any etiquette. They are very mean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The first room we got had a broken air conditioner and after the first night they changed our room. In the second room, the AC worked but the shower barely did and the hot water was spotty at best. We booked a Superior Suite, but the picture of both rooms didn't match the actual room. Online, the Superior Suite picture was actually a picture of the […] Honeymoon Suite. We looked at a Honeymoon Suite to upgrade and I realized the Honeymoon Suite picture online was actually the Royal Suite. The food was dreadful. My wife was afraid to eat any of the meat dishes at any of the restaurants after the first place we tried. The food delivered through room service was okay when we could get them on the phone. Sometimes I called and would get no answer. Sometimes we called and got an answer but nobody that could speak English and hung up on us. Sometimes we waited on hold or the line was busy so eventually gave up. We ended up buying a lot of chips from the resort store. The only plus to this resort is the proximity to the ocean and pools. Of the three pools, we spent all our time in the non-bar pool since it was quieter and more relaxing. The beach is right by the hotel and it's less than a 2 minute walk from even the farthest room so that was nice, but not enough to make up for the bad food and uncomfortable room. Read more

Obama, Luna and Antonio!!! Love those guys. I am Dominican and I took my Peruvian husband for the first time to DR. These guys showed him all our typical drinks, they were very friendly and funny!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Overall it was an enjoyable experience. We had to wait 2 days to get our tv to work and another day to get a remote. The air conditioner was not adjustable and was set to freezing. The staff was so helpful and super friendly. It was actually the staff that made it enjoyable. I would give it a 3.7 on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being super awesome. The room […] was clean and so were the grounds the food was ok. They did have a lot of variety on food If you were proactive about making reservations at the restaurants. Read more

The hospitality, friendliness and overall kindness of everyone is enough to spoil anyone The activities are constant and entertaining for both adults and kids. The food was fresh and delicious even for the most finiky eaters. Great place for families on a budget.

Genuine Expedia guest review

No wi-fi in your room or anywhere else but the lobby. Internet use for 15 mins = $5.00 (US). If you want to print your boarding pass, it will cost you $1.00 (US) per page. Not enough plates at the buffet. We had to wait for the plates to be replenished. This happened four out of the six nights we were there. If you want a safe in your room to keep money […] and documents, it will be an additional $24.00 (US). It's not very close to the airport. They always replenish your water and soda in the mini bar that's in your room. Overall, it's nice and peaceful. The staff is nice. We saw peacocks, ducks, beautiful and exotic birds and fish. Enjoy garden like walks and of course, the beautiful Atlantic! Read more

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our vacation at the resort. Big thank you to Max (front desk) for the friendly smile every day and the Spanish lessons. :-) The resort was well-maintained, staff was friendly and the food was decent. The ability to travel around the resort and to the other sister resorts by bus was very convenient. We enjoyed the nightly […] performances in the theatre by the staff. Although not trained dancers, they did a great job with enteraining the guests. Especially enjoyed the Night of Stars where they put on performances as Beyonce, Spice Girls, Village People and Michael Jackson. The Michael Jackson performance was fantastice...truly enjoyed it. Prior to our trip, I read many bad reviews of this resort and was worried about our trip. However, I don't understand why there were so many negative reviews about this resort. It's a 3 - 3 1/2 start hotel...not five start. You get what you pay for and I think it was money well spent. Read more

The hotel resort is clean. They are continuously cleaning the grounds/buildings/pools. Staff is very friendly and security personnel everywhere. The food isnt the best but it isnt the worst either. Only had an issue with the "Rodizo" dinner...the meats were overbroiled to the point of being burned.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We had a great view from our room. Our housekeeper, Lydia, kept everything nice and clean for us. The food was pretty good and seemingly always available. Access to the pools was pretty good, and there were plenty of shady spots on the beach. Our two children (8 & 12) found this hotel to be nice, clean and relaxing. The kids club supervisor, Elizabeth, […] was very nice and helpful. If you love nature, you will love the birds, turtles, and ponds on this resort. It was a wonderful place to stay! We have no complaints! Read more

Beautiful beaches. Buffet food is horrible (except for omelettes). Don't plan on even being served water at the buffet. Service staff not helpful in most areas. Great view in room but bathroom ceiling looked like was falling off. Bed is super uncomfortable and sheets are gross. Pools are great until they are packed with teenagers and floating cups. […] Beach is really nice and not a lot of salespeople bothering you. VIP gets you nothing extra drink wise however getting to go to one of the paid restaurants is worth it, we went to La Cava and it was best meal we had. Brazilian and Chinese restaurants pretty decent. Did an excursion to Saona Island which I HIGHLY recommend!! Most fun we had by far. There are very few Americans at the resort and it definitely is catered more towards Europeans and South Americans. You almost get a feeling like you are unwanted there. The resort was definitely not 4 stars by American standards however after taking a trip into to towns and villages you do have a better appreciation for the resort and the positives can outweigh the negatives. All in all next time I would spend an extra couple hundred dollars and stay at a nicer place. All the reviews I read before going were spot on. Read more
