Stayed at Carabela Resort and casino Jan 19 thru 22, 2012, check in was fast with no hassle, was given a room in the 9100 bldg with ocean view, very nice. Room could use some updating but it served its purpose (a bed and a shower). The food was OK not a big fan of buffet style eating. Beach was... More

Located on the windy sandy beaches of Punta Cana Bavaro in the heart of the expat tourist town in the El Cortecito, just a few minutes walk to shopping, restaurants, internet center, and more. The food is good, service would be better if languages other than spanish were spoken, rooms and grounds need some updating. The price is right for... More

Booked this hotel recently, we have been here 3 times previous, was a simple but good resort. We like the El Cortecito area so we chose to go to Carabela again - Beach is good, lots of chairs & lots of shade - only area on beach to have trees & palms. Good walking beach is to the North side.... More

We liked the hotel, rooms are simple not fancy. If you are looking for a fancy place you better go somewhere else in Punta Cana. The food was okay. We enjoyed the fresh fruit and a la carte restaurant. We hated the Mexican restaurant. It was busy the third week of March and there were not too many chairs left... More

We went there in our honey moon, the date was about June 2008. The hotel was cheap, booked through Skoosh. We left Orlando without knowing what to expect.... We arrived, the hotel staff was very nice and polite, they gave us a room next to the pool, and since I called before and said we were on our honey moon,... More

beach was excellent-lots of sun or shade whatever you are looking for. pools were great -partly as resort was 1/2 empty. It is closing for major reno's May 15. service was good -not great. Lots of alcohol all hours if that is what is what you are looking for. food was good not great variety a little light. a-la carts... More

BEACH – This is the reason you’re going on vacation, right? Because there just isn’t a beach where you live, let alone such a lovely and clean one. Yes, the beach has pine trees growing on it, but what other hotel can say that their shore is covered by such a beautiful jungle? As far as we saw, all of... More

I would NOT recommend this resort to ANYONE, even for those who are on a tight budget looking to get away. My friend and I took the risk of going even after fair warning from a number of reviews we read and it was a big mistake. It's worth the extra money to go somewhere else and after my experience...
