***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.

    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.

    The animation team for sure

    My family had an amazing time at this hotel, but what actually made it great was the animation team. Inma is really the best, she cared for us and our family. The way they treated me and my family was amazing. Never a dull moment I really want to go back as soon as possible just to see them.

    I felt to stay on Occidental Caribe

    My Name is Christopher Sabino Lopez: My family and me had a great time at the Occidental Caribe. For me was one of the best short vacations me and my family had. The hotel needed a renovation at all. however, the food was amazing, the bars, the pizzeria it is one of the best pizzas I ever had. We have the chance to make reservations in two of the restaurants they have in the resort. The beach is Gordier OMG, the pools are great they have for kids and adults. the activity they do at the pool is enjoyable. the snacks around the pool great. they also have a beautiful entertainment at night for all public and earlier one for kids. one of the best entrainments they have is in the Lobby of the hotel: live music, Karaoke the Disco is nice with greater DJ with all time of music to have fun. beside other things this hotel is good. I will recommend this hotel to anyone who want to have a great time with their family and friends, remember you make the Vacation at your need.
