Costa Caribe Coral Resort All Inclusive

Needs Dramatic Improvement

This hotel leaves a lot to be desired in many respects and was overall a great dissappointment, especially given the price. We arrived 2 hours early of the check in time (3pm) and were told we could stay on the premises for an additional $10 per person or would have to leave and come back after 3pm. Once we got the room, the A/C was broken and was not fixed for 5 hours and only after complaining 3 times. There were no towels in the room. The room, bathroom, and furnishings were all in a very poor state. I have stayed at numerous resorts in the Dominican Republic and this was by far the worst one and one of the most expensive.

It's not like how it used to be

I use to visit this hotel since late 2000. It is NOT the same hotel. The quality of food, people, atmosphere, and all around look and feel of the hotel was much better years ago, then what it is now. This past weekend, my stay there was not at all how I wanted it to be. There were too many people that did not have class, it was too rowdy, crowded and lines had to be formed to get to eat at the restaurants. The quality of the food wasn't the greatest either. I could say the only great thing was the access to the AMAZING beach. That is something I wanted to bring back home with me!

GREAT ROOM FOR THE MONEY

MY EXPIRENCE IS GOOD

The best value on a hotel I ever had

When I booked the resort, I was skeptical. The description did not match the price. The details sounded amazing - all inclusive including meals, unlimited drinks and water sports. When we approached the resort, all my worries disappeared. It was even better than the description online. The resort was very impressive. It was clean and very well managed. The staff was very accomodating and very hard workers. There was activities and great entertainment. This is the first time I have been to the Dominician and I will definitely come back. We also stayed in the Old City. Beware - stay at the resort. There is limited things to do in the city. After an hour, we wanted to go back to the resort. It is a hour taxi ride back and forth. This was by far the best value I have ever received from a hotel/resort.

I dont like the hotel food.

The food in the restaurant is not very good. I think they have to change that. In the menu, put more option.

Good hotel for the price ... would return.

Food in general was good. Italian restaurant was excellent. Dominicans are very friendly and easy to approach. Room was in good condition, furnishings show age but are made of solid wood and could probably outlast any and all tourists. Room A/C was very good. Hot water ... make that luke warm water, was a minor problem at shower time. For the price, I really have no concerns and would gladly return. Viva Quisqueya!!!

Do not go on a weekend please!!!

I just came back from Costa Caribe Coral all inclusive and decided to sit down and write this review while memories are fresh in my mind. I booked my room for the weekend October 3 thru Oct 6, I needed to be close to Santo Domingo because this was a pleasure and business trip. Before I booked my trip I was not aware that this hotel sells one day and weekend passes for the locals, it was very obvious to me as I arrived to the lobby and saw all these people from the ghetto of the town in the hotel screaming to one another and their kids running around without any restraint. The swimming pool was the worst during my weekend there. It pretty much reminded my of a public swimming pool in the Bronx during the summertime. Impossible to eat at the Ambar Resturant, although the food is tolerable the flies will not let you eat! they sit on your food, on your face, on your head...eww, I wonder when was the last time an exterminator visited the premises?? Water was another issue. God forbid you need to use the bathroom after midnight, you'll need to wait until next morning to flush the toilet because at night the water supply is shut down, I could not take my dissapointment anymore and called the concierge desk. They said that something related to the pipes was being repaired and that was the reason for the water situation I do not know if that is true, they sent me two bottles of water. The hotel building is six stories high and has one tiny elevator only, you could cram five people in there and no more. Use your imagination to visualize the elevator situacion. Please, Please, do not go here during the weekend!!!

The Truth

Costa Caribe is an old Hotel that has not been well maintained. We had a fun time because we were with friend but the hotel did not add to our pleasure. Bad Things: Cheap Booze "Classico" Service was okay Food was awful Do not go on Saturday it is a local hang out and the pool is not relaxing at all. Very loud and lots of kids. Good things Beach is nice So good tours (booze cruise) Price Casino is fun A better place to stay for the same price is Oasis in Boca Chica.
