Dirty and roaches

What you can see on the pictures online is a lie. The resort is dirty and full with roaches. Me and my family got there late night around 11pm and could not stay because of the roaches everywhere in the room. We left and had to find a new accommodation. I do not recommend this place to anyone to stay.

This hotel had a nice view and good for the price, we had a issue with the door our key wouldn’t work had to keep walking to the desk for help getting in our room the entire stay. Needs some renovations definitely but still felt decently clean for a one night stay. Also walls kinda thin our neighbor had the tv blasting very loud all night. Besides this the view made up for it

Property isn’t in the best condition, but for our stay it was nice for what we needed (pretty much just a place to sleep). Staff were friendly, and the stay was decent despite some construction going on from hurricane damage.

Beach time

This hotel is still undergoing construction from the devastating hurricanes. ***No beach access from the property, you have to walk down the street past two hotels to get on the beach. Breakfast is cereal, bagels, pastries, yogurt, and fruit.

El Caribe Resort is no Resort....just a hotel!

Our stay was fine, just one night. We had a nice view of the water but there was construction going on, as they were rebuilding the seawall, so a lot of noise. The pool was closed because of the past couple of hurricanes. Older building, clean enough, we had a leak in the bathroom ceiling because of a drain back up on the floor above us and we were not offered a discount for the inconvenience. We advised maintenance and they were unable to fix anything at 9:00 at night, not a big deal but some kind of acknowledgement would have been nice since the room was not cheap. Breakfast options were decent and Virginia was lovely to talk to!

Could be great with some maintenance.

The property was in drastic need of a remodel. While it was generally clean it was in disrepair. The elevator door stuck every time we used the south lift. Our room door had to be unlocked to latch and the beds were shot.

Not as Described

Pictures don't really show what's it's like. Dirty and old. The front door was probably locked in at some point, very "interesting" door jamb repair, old worn out shower, broken floor tiles, tre was hair on the sheets/pillows. Stay here if you're into that grungy vibe.
