Recently Caliente Caribe has gone through a massive overturn of staff. Everyone is pretty hush on the reason. Caliente Tampa is regularly courting Swingers and Caiente Caribe appears to be doing the same. Part way through the week of our stay a group of about 6 from Caliente Tampa arrived. Upon their arrival the serving staff turned full attention toward them and at times completely ignored the needs of the other guests. A shareholder with Caliente Tampa, within earshot of other guests, told them whatever their requirements were, would be accomodated. Apparently this applied to open sexual activitiy and drugs. Ourselves and other guests avoided the hot tub and pool area due to this. With all the Hedo's that are available I hate to see "Paradise Lost". Just to be clear, this was not during the Swinger weekend takeover but during a time when supposedly the regular rules of Caliente were in place.

My husband Jim and have attended some C/O beaches on our past vacations in Jamaica and Cuba. He enjoys the freedom of being nude in the sun, water and breeze. Whereas I’m on the little more shy side. Every year it seems to get easier. We are both in our mid 50’s and our bodies don’t quite fit the clothes we had twenty years ago. I enjoy being nude in the outdoors, but always by ourselves. I think that I would be too uncomfortable about myself with other people staring at me. Jim asked about planning our next vacation to Caribe and finally making the commitment to a C/O resort. I was afraid that everyone would be looking at me; I would know someone from home or is it a swingers club. To make Jim happy, I decided to take the plunge and dive in head first. BOY, was I WRONG !!!!. After landing, the taxi ride was one of our longest rides, but it was comfortable. Check in was a breeze and within a few minutes we were in our room. There are enough reviews talking about the resort itself and no sense in repeating. It was GREAT. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the dinners and being to pick from a menu and not going up and down to the buffet table. Being served is what I enjoy. Well ladies, I needed the sarong when I first walked away from our room, but I just decided, ‘When in Rome’ and the next thing I knew, it was gone. Jim suddenly got this big smile. We quickly met some very nice couples at the bar and around the pool and within two hours I completely forgot about being nude. I especially loved going for a skinny dip in the pool in Jim’s arms and then relaxing in the hot tub. Looking at the ocean at night in the tub does not seem like our tub at home. I enjoyed walking in hand with my husband and it was like a honeymoon. It certainly re-kindled our marriage. I knew this was one of best romantic vacations and maybe something we need to do a long time ago. I found that most people dressed up at dinner, although as I previously mentioned the clothes were off for the skinny dip. I never felt pressured to remove my evening wear unless I wanted to. For you ladies, who are fighting the idea to attend an au natural beach or resort, DON’T. I fought this idea of a C/O resort for quite a few years. Did I ever make a mistake! I will certainly want to come back again, perhaps even trying to bring some friends. I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions, especially female first timers.

10 days here from 5/7 thru 5/16 weren't quite enough. What a beautiful place! Everything was up to our expectations. The staff will bend over backwards to meet your every wish. We will be going back soon.

My wife and I were at Caribe during the first week of April celebrating our anniversary. We are both in our mid-thirties. It was our first clothing optional and our first vacation to the Caribbean. The service and food were fantastic! The staff worked hard every minute to cater to everyone’s needs and did so with happy attitudes and constant genuine friendliness. The groundkeepers worked like ants daily to keep the landscape looking impeccable and security was always vigilant but never imposing.

Our room was enormous and then some. We stayed in a Seacliff room, which are the hotel structures on the beautiful cliffs by the beach. We had a beautiful beach view from our balcony. Everything looked newly remodeled in our room and we had no problems at all with it. The room safe was large enough to fit our cameras, travel dvd player and more.

All meals were ordered by menu and the menu changed everyday. The food was awesome. Delicious and prepared or portioned in anyway you like. In fact, whatever you request at the resort, the staff will go to any length to accommodate you. Our special anniversary dinner with massages by the beach was fantastic!

My wife loves horseback riding and so we went on only one excursion and it was do to just that. We rode 2 hours along the nearby mountainside, through the countryside overlooking the resort and through small DR villages. Even the excursion tour staff was genuinly friendly and takes all the pictures for you while you ride. For a fee they will make a very nice dvd presentation with these pictures. We took snorkel gear with us, but the beach during our stay was unfortunately a bit to rough to swim in. The pools and hot tubs, constantly kept cleaned, made up for not being able to swim the beach though.

As far as clothing, anyone can do whatever he or she would like. Most everyone went nude or was nude at one point or another. Sometimes we put on clothes for meals or dinner, and sometimes we did not. Some couples were completely nude every minute everywhere around the resort. Nudity was the norm for sunbathing and hanging around the beachclub area. At one of our fun afternoon volleyball sessions, everyone in the game was completely nude. My wife had taken two new skimpy bikinis and was in and out of those from time to time depending on her mood or comfort level. The night parties were fun with costume themes. After the parties, many of us stripped off whatever party clothes we had for a night time dip in the pool or hot tub. Watching the stars and moon from the beachside hot tub was one of our most memorable moments. When it comes to clothes whatever you desire..do it :)

My wife and I felt like we were part of a close family during our stay at Caliente and will definitely return!
