Paradise!

I have no regrets rebooking for another vacation, never thought of a bad experience will hinder my planned vacation. The hotel was exemplary! Starting from staff, the place and the food of course. I will not hesitate to go back!

Resort facility lovely, staff less than enthusiastic

The Coral costa Caribe was an esthetically lovely resort with a lot of central located amenities. The food was good with an excellent variety to choose from. The coffee bar with specialty coffee was an added bonus. The A La Carts were hard to navigate as there was minimal signage and they rotated sites. I found the pool bar staff to be less than excited to be there with barely a smile or even a conversation at the top part and would infrequently serve down at the pool area. I had a hard time wit [... read more]h the rudeness of our Westjet/Sunwing representative. Initially when we were interested in an excursion he was wonderful but once we paid and then had a couple of questions and concerns he totally ignored me and was on his phone. Then he lied to my daughter in law when she stopped by, He told her our concerns were taken care of as he had talked to me already but when I went back to talk to him he had left before 1100 when he was to be there until 1200.

Fantastic Resort

Excellent food, great service (although very little knowledge of English). Wonderful beaches!! Spectacular Al A Carts. The night shows were disappointing but I didn’t go there for that so didn’t care. Would go again

Lovely Resort

The resort grounds were lovely and well kept, many cute kitties around so do not forget to bring treats. Yellow canaries gather in a tree close to the main pool every dusk and sing all together an amazing sound. The room are cleaned very well but we did have to check our patios sliding door to ensure the cleaners had locked it properly. The food was extremely good. Our favourite restaurants were the Tex Mex and the Mediterranean. The buffet has various choices so you will not go hungr [... read more]y. The beach was amazing and the water mostly calm. Great snorkeling near the rocks in the Sea. The only down side was our flight landed and departed in Punta Cana which is an hour and a half drive to or from the resort and the airline WestJet had approximately 6 flights departing close to one another so we were in a baggage line up leaving for 3 hours and all these flights were delayed.because of over 1,000 people trying to check their bags. We will be back but not with that airline.

Nice resort !

Hotel very cleaned, food very good. Needs more staff in the buffet area. One evening clients had to set there own tables by getting ustensiles, napkins erc a couple of clients pick up the red wine bottle from the counter, pour themself a drink and return the bottle On the counter... 98% of the staff do not speak english or french. They do not understand even little sentences. Very hard to communicate with the restaurant, buffet and cleaning staff. The bar pool, my comments and many touri [... read more]sts also usually the pool has about 3 1/2:feet of water before reaching the bar then to a certain part of the pool the water goes up to 4 feet. Fron the pool stairs the depth of the water starts at 41/2 feet or is only 5 feet Not very practical for clients who do not know how to swim and also anyone who would like to walk with a drink in there hand. Some kids had to stay in there parents arm. This is the first hotel that I see that has so much water in the bar pool.

Nice resort

Really liked the resort our room was in the perfect place it was clean and spacious only didn't have a chest of drawers and the patio door was hard to use the food was good and we enjoyed the activities the staff were friendly and welcoming

Beautiful experience!

It was our first visit to the Dominican Republic. We had a great vacation at the Coral Costa Caribe Hotel. The staff was nice, helpful and accommodating. The rooms were clean as well as every other areas of the hotel, nice clean pools, clean beach. The food was very good, they had a variety of food everyday at the buffet. We visited all the a la carte restaurants and they were good. Air condition worked well all week and the hot water and pressure in the shower was excellent. Internet works well [... read more]. They have good security presence in all areas of the hotel. Overall we feel like we got good value for the money we paid. We will come back for sure to the DR.

Great Vacation in the sun

With my limited walking I like to thank the front desk for giving us a room close to all the activity. I have a good memory but very short so please forgive me if I don't mention any names. Gracias to our son and his friends at the pool bar and all our grand children in the restaurants, you have been very helpful. There was always something different to eat at the buffet. We frequent the snack bar for the peace and quiet and the chicken was tasty. We went to four al cart restaurants, the Medite [... read more]rranean twice. It was great. Our room was good and always well kept and many thanks to our maid who in a pinch helped with a bit of birthday surprise. Stayed most of the time under the umbrela or looking for shade. .

Small but great

A smaller hidden gem. Food was good, quiet resort. Our room was clean and spacious. Beach was beautiful! We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, and the staff were great. Very relaxing vacation. Would recommend to others, and I would return.

2nd time visiting! Great resort

We love this resort!~ We were there 8 years ago and decided to go again due to its small size and the peacefulness you feel as you enter. The excellent and friendly staff will work hard to provide you with all you need. Service is exceptional, as is the cleanliness of the entire resort. This is not a luxury resort, however, there is always lots of great food for every palette, and management and staff worked hard to make Christmas Eve wonderful! Lobster, shrimp, oysters and every kind of dis [... read more]h you could imagine were served as well as great entertainment although the weather was a bit unstable due to rain. We are going back for 2 weeks next time as one week wasn't quite enough. Thank you to Juan at the bar for taking such good care of us! Till next time!

Excellent resort

I stayed at the coral costa caribe 14 yrs ago and decided to go there again in Mar.24. Upgrades are great. Rooms are always clean showers amazing never ran out of hot water. Grounds are kept clean as are food areas and the sports bar. Only thing I would suggest is a new way to book al a cartes. 6 am line up everyday while on vacation is not acceptable. Maybe be able to book online before the trip or even during the trip for any day not just the day of.

Beautiful setting near the ocean

The food was super great.....it was very clean, staff was so nice....the only thing that we had not checked was the drive from the Punta Cana was 2 hrs from the Resort....a bit too long for me....... Besides the fact that it was a small resort compare to others it was divine for resting and sunbathing.

Amazing Resort

This was my 15th time to the Coral Costa Caribe. It is the best Caribbean resort and I have traveled extensively to 6 Caribbean countries over the years. The resort caters to their clients and treat me like royalty. I have now gotten to know a lot of the staff personally and the greeting I receive when I show up is unbelievable. The accommodations, beach, food and customer service are all top-notch. I will continue to make the Coral Costa Caribe my holiday destination as I know what I a [... read more]m getting every time! The location is close to numerous interesting places to visit off-resort and places you will want to visit every time you visit. It may not "present" as a 5-star online but this resort offers like a 5-dtar in my opinion.

Coral Costa Caribe

Pros: The Safari excursion (offered by Sunwing?) was VERY nice! highly recommended! The rooms had powerful AC units that cooled the rooms down within minutes (they are off when no one is in the room). The buffet was surprisingly very good! All water that was served to us was bottled water. There and many bars in the resort and the service and decent and fast. Most staff were polite, friendly, and helpful. Minor issues: Beach vendors often come by to harass you to buy somet [... read more]hing. They are very insistent and use high pressure sales tactics. For example, my girlfriend had a vendor start making an ankle bracelet around her foot without consent. They are very pushy and only leave you alone if you totally ignore them or if you say "no thank you" a few times in a row. ATM machine is hard to locate. Asking front desk employees can help guide you to the right location (outside main entrance) Major issues: Were were told not to drink the tap water 24 hours after arrival. I drank the water(1 small sip) to take my pills in the morning without knowing it was unsafe. I had digestive issues for a week after/during the vacation. When booking, we wanted 1 king bed but upon arrival we were given 2 queens. We asked to change rooms and they we kind enough to changed us the following day. However, in the new room, there was a cockroach under our mattress. After a complaint, they changed us immediately to another room. They handled things nicely, but it was 2 days of changing rooms instead of enjoying the resort. You need 20$ USD as part of a leaving/exit tax. This was not explained to us before arriving. When leaving, we were told that they accepted Dominican Pesos equal to 20$USD. Our Sunwing representative told us that 1000 Dominican Pesos = 20$ USD. At the airport we were told it was 1200 Dominican Pesos and they don't have change. I had to take out money from an ATM twice and overpaid (2500 dom. pesos) just to leave the country. I understand this is not the Hotel's fault, but I'm putting this here for general information and precaution. It would be nice for this information to be accurate and available from the hotel and not to have to stress and overpay throughout the leaving process.

Great Stay

I found the front lobby and eating areas to be well kept and clean. Pools were great and around them were kept clean. I loved the trees on the beach for shade but still a good amount of beach not shaded. Food was good in both the special restaurants and buffet. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. The room needed some renovations. Patio door very sticky and the dresser drawers also sticky. Lost hot water once but cold water is not that cold for having a shower. My son very much liked the d [... read more]isco for dancing.

Wonderful vacation

We were beginning to second guess our choice of vacation after reading such negative reviews, what hogwash. The staff from check-in and throughout the resort are great, always smiling and very helpful They are constantly cleaning and grooming the place. We were here for two weeks and didn’t attempt the Ala carte restaurants as the buffet was terrific Always a great variety from the meat, vegetables and potatoes. Some people are just too demanding while on holiday. Would return again.

Worth to go once!

Really enjoyed my stay there. Was not sure at my first night, but I will recommand it for the staff, the food and discotheque. Little problem, not enough place at the buffet, lot of table I reserved for VIP. It s close to a 4 stars, VIP are going to 5 stars or diamond club. Long beaches but you should not swim far, coral and sand banks drop quick. But there is boue. Small safe resort.

Excellent value

Pros: Beach is amazing - clean, warm water with sandy bottom and little fish, white sand, plenty of lounge chairs and beach is close to snack bar and washrooms. Public washrooms were well maintained. Mangoes Snack Bar had the most amazing pizza that was always prepared and ready to grab. A la carte restaurants were available every night with a reservation. Hot chocolate served at breakfast was yummy. Bar service was fast. Many options for refilling water bottles with clean drinking water. Staff  [... read more]were consistently pleasant and approachable. Resort is on the smaller side (400+ rooms) making the experience very low key. No large resorts within a 3 km walk along the beach in either direction - only a handful of smaller resorts. Two pool areas, which appeared nice although we spent all of our time at the beach. Excellent air conditioning in the rooms. Beds comfy. Room and floors cleaned every morning. Nice balcony with view of courtyard. Six stories, with a modern elevator. Absolutely dead silence every night that we slept and into the morning. Very happy with the sleeping environment. Good hot shower with excellent water pressure (except for one random evening when we had no hot water whatsoever). Mini fridge in room. Two small bottles of water provided by maid each day. Free wifi in rooms and lobby. Cons: No premium alcohol, however a very good red house wine and DR draft beer. Room bathrooms were quite outdated - grout is falling apart in tile floors. Toilet worked well, but difficult to get seat to stay up due to sink (made for tricky drunken trips to the toilet for my partner). No coffee maker in room. We could not get the television to work, although we were not too fussed about it. Pillows a little lumpy - but there were four for the two of us, which was great. Sports Bar had a weird musty, damp smell - however the most frozen drinks could be found here. Lots of soliciting on the beach for various goods - however, all sales people were very kind and did not push past a “no thank you, not today.” All in all this resort is very good value if you are willing to overlook its aging facade. We would definitely return.

Great resort not to big just perfect

The place was always super clean the workers there were great the rooms were nice a little problem with plumbing sometimes.the beach was clean pools were also great service excellent a la carte were very good food was good overall a great place to go we would go back.
