Tucked away at the end of the very busy West Bay beach, the Caribe Tesoro was a nice, smaller hotel with fantastic staff. A beautiful pool, and lovely morning views for breakfast overlooking the clear waters.
The hotel is undergoing some renovations, including the pier over the waterfront but this was not too disruptive. We stayed in the Lionfish room, which sadly had a Murphy bed in the living room instead of a couch. The bed was soft and comfortable, water pressure Ron the rain shower was good, and always had hot water. The room is situated across from the reception, but was relatively quiet. It could, however benefit from some blackout curtains. We ended up draping towels over the curtains to keep out the light from the string lights that light the pathway through the buildings. The wifi and cell reception was patchy in the rooms- but this apparently can be a general issue across the island.
The hotel staff were all friendly and accommodating. The breakfast and restaurant staff were great, as well as tasty food. We ate a number of snacks and meals and enjoyed all the food we tried.
The partnership with Bananarama down the beach was a key feature that we used most days. Having access to “hotel guest only” chairs, especially on busy days was very convenient. Also the umbrella guys there are attentive and on top of making sure you are comfortable.
Overall, or 12 night stay was generally good, but a few improvements could be made to this hotel to make it great.
