On the day of my arrival, I tip well the gentleman who brings my bags into the room and the man at the front desk when I check in (I usually put $20 US in each hand) and then as the week progresses I will tip the maid, tip the bartenders, tip the waiters well and I have NEVER had a problem. In fact, I never even pay for the safe key and lock when I check in. It is just handed to me and never has been on my bill. A little generous tipping at the Caribe Colonial can go a long way in getting whatever you wish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13621344.post-14642991497535071082008-01-08T21:26:00.000-04:002008-01-08T21:26:00.000-04:00I am willing to bet that any american paying custo...I am willing to bet that any american paying customer who is a regular at the Caribe Colonial and calls to make a reservation and specifically asks about this policy that they will waive the charge. The last time I stayed there the hotel only had about 8 rooms occupied (you can tell by watching from the bar and the breakfast in the morning) and there was only one straight client who was bringing in young female prostitutes every day and night. As for me, I stayed with the same man every night and they never charged me at all and even let him eat breakfast with me every morning for no charge. I guess it is who you are and how you act and WHO you are bringing into the hotel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13621344.post-23781804687624856722008-01-08T20:28:00.000-04:002008-01-08T20:28:00.000-04:00If a hotel is concerned about having a reputation ...If a hotel is concerned about having a reputation for allowing escorts, then they shouldn't allow guests at all. The gay following is small in comparison to the many older men here who like young prostitutes.<BR/><BR/>As for the Caribe Colonial. I have spoken to the reservations manager who confirmed that they are now charging for "overnight" guests.<BR/><BR/>The point is that hotels can have any policies they wish. They just need to be communicated properly to your guests.Santo Domingo Colonial Zone Aptshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238371732341945647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13621344.post-3606510874402805452008-01-08T19:29:00.000-04:002008-01-08T19:29:00.000-04:00I think louro is absolutely right on the money wit...I think louro is absolutely right on the money with is statement!

They even charged for the coffee, which is usually free at all other hotels I have stayed at around the world. I want to stay somewhere where you do not have to pay for every extra. At least the safe was included.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13621344.post-39653119196370154672008-01-08T09:57:00.000-04:002008-01-08T09:57:00.000-04:00This nonsense about charging for guests is almost ...This nonsense about charging for guests is almost unheard of in other parts of the world.

Albeit I am a regular customer of the Hodelpa since 2001 and have stayed there for years. Maybe they let it slide with me but I checked my bill carefully and they never charged me for overnight guests. Could this be a "new" policy within the last two months? I am sure I will check this out before I make future reservations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
