After reading some of the reviews on here I was apprehensive about this trip, but overall it was a good place especially for the money.

First the good.... The rooms were all close to the pools, beach and restaurants which was a big plus for me. My room was always clean, the firdge was always stocked with plenty of soda and water and most importnatly the air conditioner kept the room VERY cold. Jose at the pool bar made the day at the pool fun and entertaining, the local beer is pretty good. The mexican specialty restaurant was EXCELLENT I could eat there every day (I suggest the chicken fajitas). One nice thing was they did not limit the number of nights you could eat at the specialty restaurants you just had to make reservations.

Now the not so good.... If you can get a soda in the restaurants when they finally came out they were so watered down you might as well drink water. I was beginning to think that maybe Domincans did not drink anything with their meals because there were times we had our main course of food before they would even take a drink order. The food on the buffet was not good, lots of fish and other items most americans arent accustomed to eating. There were lots of locals from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic that came in Friday night and "took over" the pool bar on Saturday, I say took over because they were so loud and obnoxious that no one wanted to be there anymore.

Overall this was a good trip and I would definitely go back to Punta Cana, adn would consider going back to Caribe Club Princess if the price were right again.

We arrived at Punta Cana on 9th June and after collecting our luggage made our way to the Caribe Club Princess. On arrival we were served juice and checked in pretty quickly. We got a safe key and hopped on the transport and were taken to our rooms. The bellboys followed on with our heavy suitcases.

Our room was on the top floor of the building and overlooked the back which was fine. The room was clean and tidy and the air conditioning was great.

All staff were friendly and I'd like to say hi to Clifford down near the beach area selling trips, he was always polite and said hi.

We had a massage near the pool which was great.

We loved the bar down next to the beach after the shows and the lobby entertainment. It was so nice to chill out on the beach.

The entertainment/shows were good especially the lion king and the dancers were fab.

We had such a great time and we thought the food was fine. We also booked into the Brazillian Restaurant and the Chinese which were both very good.

All in all a great holiday and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. I especially enjoyed all the rum and coco loco's.

We returned home Tuesday June 24 after 7 night stay with party of 7, 4 adults, 3 children. Overall the physical plant, buildings,pools and grounds are in very good condition. The beach is beautiful, the rooms clean. Basically we had a delightful time. The only major complaint was the quality of the food. Having stayed in all inclusives in Mexico and in Puerto Plata, DR and elsewhere this was the WORST food we have ever encountered. The best meal was breakfast, as for lunch and dinner forget it. The staff is very poorly trained both at front desk and dining room, however bars and housekeeping staffs were well trained. This hotel could be excellent with an improvement in the dining room.

We arrived on monday... the resort is extremely beautiful, but the service was not that great... First thing we went to have luch at the "Higuero" buffet, and one of the employees at the food station was giving us some nasty looks, as if he wanted to take our clothes off with his eyes... And that happened with many employees during our stay... We had trouble with restaurant reservations, we had a damaged TV that wasnt replaced in our 5 days there, hallways smelled bad, bathroom smelled bad...

I thought shows would be better, all were with guest participation on stage, I expected some nice typical song and dance shows...

Employees made sexual comments in spanish to european and english speaking guests.....

Twice we came from the pool and had no towels in our room, has to call front desk a few times until someone came by with towels...

Snack bars served cold hotdogs, salty hamburguers and soggy french fries...

The good part... Our beakfast was always nicely attended by Yessenia, a very nice waitress, the beach was awesome, the pool was warm... The bed was comfy, A/C worked well, the rooms were clean...

Iwould go back to Punta cana, but would not stay in CCP or recommend it to anyone...
