***Important Information for our guests***
The Dominican Republic imposes various restrictions each year for Easter. The restrictions usually begin the Thursday prior to Good Friday, and run a few days past Easter Sunday. The following regulations may be enforced:
*Motorized watersports may be banned
*Non-motorized water sports may be limited, or banned
*Alcohol consumption may be restricted (most resorts obtain a special permit which enables them to serve alcohol to nonnative persons during the ban)
*Music may be limited or silenced
These guidelines are currently vague because actual enforcement by the local government does vary greatly from one year to the next. Each year the actual policies are not published by the local authorities until just prior to Easter. These rules are designed for the safety of everyone, as beaches get extremely busy during this period.

Great family vacation
Getting the premium at the hotel indeed changes the experience of having a vacation. Except of all the standard features you'll have access to some exclusive specifics that will make your stay in the hotel more convenient and exclusive. I'd like to say mucho gracias to the club premium team - Everlines Ramirez, Francia Garcia and Anna Carina Gonzales. The only thing which was annoying is running shows not in a separate area but in the lobby just in the rooms area after 10 pm. This can be an issue for families with children

It is necessary to improve the food, the buffet was regular, the quality and preparation aren't the best

Our stay at Occidental Caribe
I dont think that I can honestly recommend this property to anyone until changes or renovation occurs. Most staff cant speak English. No access to bottled water in restaurants and bars. The bed sheets and bath towels were old. The TV never worked. The in room safe never worked and we were unable to use. The food was good but basically the same thing each night. Water was offered at bars and restaurants but it was ONLY in a dispenser but not bottled. The only gift shop at the resort sold me a Hersheys Almond bar for $5. Yes, I still have the receipt.

Reception Great service! The pool area is great entertainment daily!
From the first day upon arrival 13th at the reception we were attended by Greysi who was very attentive in her work. We also enjoyed the entertainment group at the pool especially Darian’s performance and diplomatic behaviour. Thank You!!

Great Service
Great service. Cindy was awesome, gave us her number and told us to WhatsApp her with any questions. We did and she helped with our excursion, minor room issue, and airport transfer. The views were gorgeous and walking the beach was very peaceful. Would definitely go back again.
