The resort is a excelent value for people looking for a clothing optional adult only vacation. The pools are in great shape, the accomodations are excelent. My wife and I had an great time and made a lot of friends. The food was worderful and the wait staff were just great. There is nothing like sitting in the hot tub at night situated on the ocean with a near full moon lighting the sky and looking up at all those stars -- it was amazing.

The rooms are all air conditioned and beds were solid and well maintained. A little more hot water in the morning and the they need to clears some of the rocks out in fron of the beach -- they have been doing that and now have a tradition of people painting the rocks with names and sayings -- it a wonderful tradition that is making the place more people oriented.

Caliente has put 100's of thousands of dollars into the resort to bring it up to a high standard of quality -- If you are looking for a rustic vacation on the cheap look somewhere else -- this is a class resort that is only getting better with the investments being made.

To disclose a little of who I am -- There were 40 or so of us from the Caliente Tampa group -- yes I think we might have got special consideration because most of us are members at Caliente in Tampa and as such know the management team well. Just like at Caliente in Tampa the same rules apply -- no drugs and no sex in public areas. The couple I saw with inappropriate behavior were not with our group and were spoken to by management at the request of people in our group. I have never seen drugs in either venue and believe that people are openly attacking the Caliente management for decisions they have made to enhance their bottom line. If you are looking for a HEDO experience -- you better go to Jamaca because it isn't in the Domincan Republic or Land O Lakes either. Nor will it be despite the unfounded rumors.

I too was a traveler from the Tampa group. I'm NOT a swinger and I'm very much single. I had a wonderful time and felt safe and welcomed the entire trip by our group, the other guests, staff and management. I agree with what CalienteCpl said. The one troublesome incident I witnessed occured outside our group and was quickly taken care of. I had an EXCELLENT vacation and would go back again without hesitation as a single, with a group or with someone special! It was an amazing trip and Caliente will do a great job as they have in Tampa! It is unfair to judge a resort by a couple of people that are behaving out of line.

We also were at the resort as a part of the Caliente Tampa group and we have to say we met a lot of fun people and had a great time.

There were over 50 people at the resort from Caliente Tampa. We arrived on Friday and received excellent treatment from the whole staff at all the breakfast, lunches and dinners we attended.

We had to request something in our room to be fixed and it was fixed within minutes. The activitiy cordinators did an excellent job to involve everyone in volleyball, karaoke etc.

The service staff at the restaurant for dinner were excellent and very friendly.

We did see one couple acting inappropiately and it was addressed swiftly by management.

I just read the review of Caliente Caribe by Herzenlust. My wife and I were at the resort the same time. The Herzenlust description is mild to say the least. We have loved the resort back to when it was Eden Bay. After this trip, we are done. Caliente has destroyed the resort. It is well reported that they are marketing towards swinger groups. If they want to have a closed week at Caribe for swingers, then advertise it. They brought in the drug using, sex at the pool members from Tampa and ruined our vacation. It probably means they are in financial trouble. Maybe it can return to the original owners and become Eden Bay again. It is obvious the management and owners do not care about their faithful guests. They want the money and whomever gets hurt or disgusted does not matter. We have always loved the staff there. The food is wonderful. The property is gorgeous. The ownership has turned the resort into a pot smoking sex anywhere you want resort. Swingers, it is all yours.
