My first interaction with this hotel was a forewarning of things to come; I called them to confirm availability since the website was having problems. They did have rooms, but the quoted price on the phone was higher than on the web. I made the receptionist aware of this, and the response was "then make the reservation on the web."... more

While visiting my wife's family in Salinas, we needed a place to stay for 2 nights. After checking Tripadvisor, the closest place to the east(on Rt. #3) was Caribe Playa Beach Resort. The Resort is about 30kms. from Salinas. The ride took about 45 min. on a late Fri. afternoon, but only about 30 min. back on Sun. morning. The... more

We recently returned from vacationing in Puerto Rico. The first part of our trip was spent staying at a well known luxury resort, which was very nice, but paled in comparison to the wonderful relaxing experience we had at Caribe Playa. The host/staff were very welcoming and helpful. The rooms, although, very modest were kept clean and had an awesome... more

In March for our honeymoon, my husband and I stayed at this hotel. We arrived very late, so the staff put our room key in an envelope and taped it to a wall for us to find. Upon entering our room, we found it pleasent and modest but adequete. It had a small refrigerator, a table, a bed, a tv... more

Caribe Playa is the essence of tranquil simplicity – a pure and peaceful tropical beach … white sand, lapping waves, waving palms At Your Door (in fact, you can see all of them from your bed). A lovely terrace restaurant – again, on the water with kind and accommodating service all ‘round. If you are seeking quiet authenticity … a... more

I can't imagine how anyone couldhave anything bad to say about this place. Any "downers" are listed in the reviews like it being a little noisey with traffic b/c it's right on the road(it's really not that bad & if the hotel was any farther from the road it would be in the water) & the servise is a little... more

First of all, book this hotel through hostelworld.com. Trust me, you CANNOT beat the prices they offer. I would have been VERY disappointed in this place had I paid the full price. The location: pretty unbeatable. Every room is right on the water, no bad view in the place. However, we did not swim at all at this beach, much... more

Just got back from a short stay here. The view is wonderful - sea, coconut palms, pelicans, sea gulls all right outside your front door... For the price ($105 per night), you will not get a better view. With resort in the name, you may expect fancier rooms. They are not - please don't go for the room. This is... more

Ok it’s a dive. You can't sleep in the rooms because of the road noise. There is nothing to do for miles around, and few places to eat. If you like snorkeling, it’s not bad during the calm wind months. BUT When you spend time sitting there, just endlessly staring across the water into the sunset. I can say without... more
