  Always a Wonderful Stay

  I’ve stayed at Occidental Caribe in Punta Cana five times for romantic getaways, and every visit has been unforgettable. I would like to express my deep appreciation to Jose Carrasco, who always goes above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The rooms are always beautifully prepared, often with romantic touches that create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The resort itself is wonderful — beautiful pools, excellent food, and a lovely pizzeria on the second floor with an amazing beach view, perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze. I also want to thank Emenegilda Baez, Alexandra D’La Rosa, and Maria Luisa, who always greet everyone with genuine warmth and bright smiles. Occidental Caribe isn’t just a hotel for me — it’s a place full of beautiful memories.

El Occidental Caribe no es solo un hotel para mí — es un lugar lleno de recuerdos hermosos.

  We will be returning!!

  I have read so many mixed reviews on this resort that I wasn't sure what to expect when we arrived. First, we had a superior ocean view room- our room was clean, the bed was VERY comfortable and our view was awesome. The food- it is NOT what we eat in the United States- the seasoning, variety are true to their culture. Don't go expecting things to look or taste the same. I was in heaven because they had a great omelet bar for breakfast and had one every morning. The lunch buffet was ok and you can always make a sandwich if nothing is to your liking. I loved the fish on the grill and was able to get that for lunch. Dinner- it was ok- some things tasted out of this world others not so much. I think most people go expecting things to look and taste as they would in their own country- this is not the case. You have to go out of your comfort zone and try new things. We did eat at the Japanese restaurant which was amazing. I asked for the shrimp, however, I received a plate full of seafood- but they give you the chicken, beef and the seafood. Again, they use what they have so don't compare the taste to what you get in the states. We also ate at the Mexican restaurant and it was excellent. The resort it self is gorgeous and well maintained and clean. You see staff working around the pools at the crack of dawn. I will say if you don't speak Spanish it can be difficult- thank goodness for my husband because he did know some and got us through. Some of the staff were great and some not so much- I feel that they are probably over worked, under paid and just get tired of people. Because of the price point, we will be returning- We will make sure that we book a restaurant every night because we enjoyed the food much more than the dinner buffet. We did not do the premium level because honestly, I'm not so sure it is worth the extra money - we were still able to eat in the restaurants other than our first two nights - and that was probably because we weren't sure where to go to book them. Also, I recommend taking US money there for tips- its sad but you get treated much better when you give them tips and it doesn't even have to be more than a $1= they smile and you know its appreciated. We tipped the housekeepers well and our room was cleaned, bed made and new towels each day. The ATM on site only gives Pesos and the front desk will only give you $10 in US and the rest Pesos. Not sure what the logic is behind that but they do not like to exchange. So again, we will be returning in May and now we know what to expect.

  Terrific Vacation

  Terrific value, quick check in, gorgeous wide beach (not a shell, rock, or seaweed for kms/miles), pools cleaned every a.m., lots of beach towels, food typical buffet but did include lobster& jumbo shrimps twice in a wk.,plus roast beef, chicken, salads, fruit, lots of hot/cold food stations..something for everyone! Service was instant for coffee & drinks in buffet etc. A big thk you to Nilson Herrera for taking care of us so well. One night 9pm our a/c broke. Frt desk, Kenny Acevedo sent up 2 repair mechanics in 1 hr..It could not be repaired..he quickly found us a suite, ocean view, larger than prev room, he moved our luggage and personally provided such good service! Hotel might not be brand new, but it was spotless inside & out, with full time public washroom cleaning. We appreciated the very unique architecture ..stained glass windows, 11 ft high doors, archways throughout. We can't wait to go back!
