We just got back from this resort and would have to agree with most of the posts previous. Check in was fast as there were only 2 of us. The front desk seemed helpful when we needed them. We were in room 10114 main floor with terrace, steps to pool. It was clean and sufficient for what we needed. TV... More

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
