Went during Thanksgiving break. My husband and I stayed on the 5th floor, Ocean View. They didn't try to upgrade us to beachfront or anything, but funjet tried when we booked. If you booked beachfront, not worth it because there is no beach. It's more like tractor/rock front. Ocean view was nice, but those machines continued on through the night!... more

We travel alot and I must say we are fairly easygoing (any holiday is a good holiday right?) but ususally it is business related. This was a real holiday. We were originally checked into a room we felt was less than we had paid for, and were immediately moved to an ocean view as per our booking. Right from check-in... more

This is my second year going to the Gran Caribe because the service is so good. I love it that the the staff wait on you and do it with a friendly smile. There was one bartender that was so wonderful that I came back again this year because last year I went with four other friends and he made... more

The food was great, the resort is super nice, the staff are very friendly, espacially the entertainment staff, they did... more

They really work to make your vacation enjoyable. The restaurants were very nice - Gaviotas had a breakfast and lunch buffet, but switched to a... more

Esteban with the activity staff at the pool is always helpful. The wait staff is always ready to help Linda, Lety, Jonathan,Roman, Roberto and... more

Stayed here over Christmas 2008. Pretty nice hotel. Clean and polished, staff is attentive, room was kept clean. Plenty of towels available, etc. Plenty of good drinks, whenever you want them. Beach is small, but nice enough. Hilariously, I read in the news later that the Mexican Police "impounded" the beach. Literally. People who ran the resort were arrested for... more

Our family was at this hotel from 11/22-11/29. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this hotel, especially to families with young children. Our 7 and 5 year old had a great time and there were lots of other kids for them to play with. The room was nice (we upgraded to ocean view) and the food... more
