“PC Chill”

Lovely resort with great staff! We especially loved the breakfast buffet with Maite. There were also many cool animals, especially iguanas on property. Good selection of ducks, flamingos, and peacocks on the grounds. Come for the iguanas , stay for Maite !

We had an amazing stay at Caribe Deluxe Princess. Traveling with my partner and baby, we found the setup to be perfect for a relaxing and stress-free vacation. Our room was ideally located close to both the pool and the beach, making everything super convenient. We had requested a baby crib before our arrival, and it was ready in our room when we checked in, which was a greatly appreciated. The food was excellent—the buffet was always fresh, offering plenty of variety, and the à la carte restaurants ensured we had enjoyable and diverse dining experiences every evening. The service was overall great, though we did have two instances where the reception wasn’t particularly helpful. That said, the servers truly made our stay memorable, especially Maite, who was incredibly sweet, attentive, and wonderful with our baby! The animation team was a bit pushy when encouraging guests to join activities, but they always respected our choice when we preferred to relax instead. The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding—there was always someone cleaning, both indoors and outdoors, keeping the resort spotless. Our room was immaculate every time housekeeping had been through. While it might not be the absolute best resort and had its flaws, it still provided us with a great vacation. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, and I would definitely recommend!

We flew from Canada and this is our 6th time to DR and 1st at the Caribe Deluxe Princess. Right off the bat, there was alot of confusion when we arrived because the tropical princess and the caribe princess share a lobby. This isnt indicated on travel sites, rather show to be different resorts but are actually ore sections of one property. The room rates are quite a rip off, first you pay for ocean view and then on top of platinum view. We were there for both but with what we had already paid and what the cost was, we werent interested. After showing our disappointment, they offered a room which had an ocean view but was basically an attic room and 5 sets of stairs, with a toddler and no elevator. We quickly changed to a platinum room on the ground floor which was way better. PROs: Platinum lounge was fantastic. The restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner were absolutely delicious. The lobster dinner and the paella are delicious. Augustin and Cepin made our trip awesome. They went out of their way to make the entire trip so memorable and hospitable. The grounds are kept immaculate, beach is clean and seaweed free. We never had a hard time finding a lounger on the platinum side. The loungers are very comfortable and in good shape. We didnt have to worry about towel cards but there were two instances where they ran out of platinum towels for the entire day. The waves are strong so we didnt see as many people in the ocean as in the pools. The japanese restaurant was delicious. Definitely the best option out of the lot. The Mexican and Brazilian was decent. The buffet was horrible. It was repetitive, the options were not appetizing and the labelling was pretty much non existent. Vegetarians, vegans, and celiacs cant eat anything. The pools were really nice and refreshing. The main pool was always freezing but in the extreme heat was tolerable and very clean. The foam party was alot of fun. The kids pool and waterpark was a hit and area was well kept. The pool wasnt as clean and could always see leaves and such inside. The middle pool near the snack bar was always busy. Snack bar food is repetitive but much more delicious than the buffet. The spa was a great experience. The deep tissue massage was so relaxing and worth it. The spa pool is very nice and private, I had it to myself. I would suggest reserving it for a few hours if you want a private pool to swim and relax without kids or drunk adults. The layout of the resort is unique and the walk was lovely to see all the wildlife. There was a tram that went between the lobby and the main food areas throughout the day and evening, which was such a nice convenient feature. The coffee and ice cream shops were great. Cons: the stores are expensive!! $30+USD for vicks cough syrup. The rooms were not cleaned well, we would see the floor dirt colour on socks, clothes etc. regardless if you tip well, which we did everyday, the platinum toiletries dont come, the towels arent regularly changed and the room didnt have a crisp clean feel to it ever. Room service is THE WORST. When you order, it takes atleast 30 mins to make the order because noone seems to understands english, then the food doesnt come or they call back after 2-3 hours saying they dont have what you ordered and if they do send, its always wrong and much much later than when ordered. I had to feed my sick 3 yr old and it took 3 hrs to get banana, milk and some toast. Lastly, the entertainment is pretty much non existent. Theres no music or fun shows worth watching. No fun activities, bingo or anything. The kids club house seemed okay but we never saw an adult in there just a few kids watching a movie so we never left our kid there. Lots of room to improve. Our trip was enjoyable but we wont come here again. Definitely not a 5 star.
