The attitude of the desk clerks... they act like it is a honour for us to stay at this hotel and we should not ask questions. Desk clerk advised us parking is $250 pesos per night. We were told that there is a charge of $25 pesos per hour or more for parking on the street. There is no charge, on the side streets, for parking. My daughter was going to the room to get something and tried to access a room that was not ours. The door opened. It seems that my room access card opens all rooms. Stay safe and don't leave anything of value in your room or better to book somewhere else. The pool needs attention. We never went in the pool.

The hotel is located it in a good place, but sadly very noisy at nighst, the competition for the loudest place for sure is across the street. very safe location, poor wi-fi service, I had to be near the bathroom to get a good signal, not happy with that at all. My child didn't get signal for almost a week until the last couple days we find out the spot near toilet. I found out that they don't respect the tag we always used for "Do Not Disturb "at all, unless you request at the desk to stop the service to enter your room without permission. That was shocking to know. Never had happen to me before.

The Hotel is in a great location on 5th ave. Great customer service. The only 2 things is that the pool didn't seem that clean and if you're thinking of going to bed early, It will be difficult because of music playing until 2am outside the hotel. We enjoyed it very much because we stayed up late, so it didnt bother us.

Hi it’s Christina from The Christina Report, today I am giving feedback about my stay at Caribbean boutique. I stood at this boutique from 8/8/2023-8/15/2023. I have to be honest after reading the reviews I was pretty skeptical. Because I’ve already committed to this trip there was no backing out. Let me be the first to tell you this is not a bad place to stay. It has a 3 stars but it’s more like a high 3. If I am being honest there were a few things I could point out, like the pool- it wasn’t maintained and no one was there to give you any towels. There’s a big ring around the pool, a simple magic eraser around it would have done wonders. The deck area needed some tlc. There is a bar area by the pool but no one is there, so definitely a missed opportunity. The shower heads needed to be soaked with vinegar to unclog them, the water was shooting out everywhere. However the water pressure was good. In the back by the parking there is a pond I wanna say where their Buddha is but it was very dirty, no up keep at all. If there is a problem with the room or anything they notify maintenance, which could get annoying after a while. I told them the batteries needed to be switched instead of switching it they called maintenance. I came back into my room and twenty mins after using the remote it was dead. A simple switch out of the batteries would of solved it, so that was annoying! I ended up just switching the batteries out of the TV remote control… see more on Google

The property is a complete trap. They operate a bar very loud one under the second floor rooms that play extremely loud music every day unteil 2 AM. You will not sleep for shure. The manteinance is terrible the hidro is not working fine. The water on the pool is not weel.mantein and the experience is more like a nightmare that a holiday. The make You pay in advance and if You want to leave they will not refund You a dime. They get in to my room that was pay in advance and they took my staff without my concent. Is a disaster.

The most horrible stay
I stayed in room 301 The internet never worked, when I complained they told me that she was the only one (talking later with other guests, the same thing happened) The elevator doesn't work, I asked for a room change now. I was on the 3rd floor with very heavy suitcases (they told me no) The breakfast included is a glass of juice, a cup of coffee (horrible), toast, 3 papaya slides, watermelon, banana- Every day the same. horrible dirty pool

On our third night, the air conditioner stopped working and it took more than 2 hours for them to find a new room for us. We had to change twice (because the air conditioner of the first room they changed us was also not working). We paid for the big room with the tub inside and the room they changed us to was the smaller one without the tub. They did not offer any discount or coupon. Also, the elevator was not working any day we were there. The staff is friendly but it took a long time to resolve our problems.

We loved our stay, the location is great. The mall is in front of the hotel, the beach, the restaurants, coco bongo are walking distance. We just didn’t liked the bathroom, the water was salty, and it smelled weird. Besides that the bed were comfortable, the view, pool and other amenities were great. The breakfast needs more variety we ate eggs for 3 days straight 😭 and bread, the coffee and OJ was awful.

The property itself was very nice. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. If you have a little ones this is not the hotel for you. The bar that shares a common wall is always thumping. Also the hotel needs a better ventilation system. It’s alway humid and muggy in the room. Make sure you take towels because the hotels policy is to change out towels every other day. And you can’t hang dry your towels on the balcony either. And drying towels in a humid and muggy room is almost impossible.

Hotel was really nice. Rustic and boutique, clean and comfortable. Shower was awesome, Pool area lovely. My only complaint (and sadly it’s not the hotels fault) is the location of the hotel in relation to bars/clubs means you are treated to very loud banging music until 3:30am.

Horrible checkin. After a long flight and dragging luggage, was told at checkin that our reservation doesnt exist. They said it shows in Expedia but not their system.. So they tried to move us to a sister hotel Banana hotel, which was a long walk away with all our luggage, only to find this Banana hotel less desirable, wifi not working. So had to walk all the way back to complain and they miraculously 'found us a room' Alot of hassle and lost a couple hours of what should have been relaxing on the beach. This is clearly a common tactic (overbooking) they use to bump their guests to Banana hotel to fill the rooms. I advise to put in your booking notes 'do not move to another hotel' if you choose to stay here.

Paid extra for a room with a hot tub but was not accessible due a wood beam crossing in front of it. Hit my back trying to get in. Plus it was dirty. They charged $18 a night for parking. The walls were paper thin, However the rooms were beautiful.

I usually don't write reviews but this stay needed one. The room had no hand soap, no complimentary water, bedsheets had a red stain on it, shampoo stand was very rusty, and the cleaner forgot her dirty cleaning cloth on my stuff. When I told reception about these things, they did absolutely nothing about it when they said they will. I'm very disappointed with the service provided.

You get what you pay for
Overall stay was decent - you couldn’t beat the price and location, but you need to be aware that you are literally in the heart of PDC. There’s a nightclub on the second floor and across the street a very loud bar. Be prepared to be surrounded by loud music your whole stay. Pool area could use some work. Chairs not reset daily and area not swept on several days of the stay. Have to bring towels from your room. Bar is non operational at the pool during our stay. There are only 6 lounge chairs. Room was fairly clean, expect it emits this terrible smell from the bathroom (septic tank?) once a day. It’s quite pungent and strong. Something to note. Staff is friendly and very accommodating.
