| Located directly on popular, white-sand Orient Beach, this small Mediterranean-style hotel on the Atlantic side of the island offers elegant yet low-key accommodations. After a day at the beach, guests can stroll to one of many nearby restaurants or whip up a meal in their suite’s full kitchen. Decorated in bamboo and teak, the spacious suites feature a private terrace and satellite TV. The hotel's prime location means vacationers can have it all—parasailing, windsurfing, snorkeling, or just lounging by the pool or beach. A cool cocktail, a new book, or a haircut is only a stroll away along the sand.

Recreation
Accessible by wooden pathways though dense beach foliage, Orient Bay Beach, a 2.4-km (1.5-mile) crescent of powdery sand on the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the island's principal windsurfing spots. The beach also includes a clothing-optional section a mile from the resort. Vendors along the beach offer a wide range of other watersports. Open-air restaurants are spaced along the beach, and one of the two nearest the resort provides complimentary lounge chairs to the resort's guests. Guests can also rent lounge chairs and umbrellas up and down the beach. For freshwater swimming, the resort offers a 12-meter-long (40-foot-long), kidney-shaped pool screened by greenery and bordered by a narrow sundeck furnished with thickly cushioned lounge chairs. The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the resort; fees may apply.

| My husband and I just got back from our stay at Cap Caraibes and we had a wonderful time. The hotel staff was very supportive when we had trouble with mising luggage. The rooms were very clean and having a kitchen cut down on some costs especially for breakfast and lunch.

| When we arrived we were told that our requested room (guaranteed ocean view) in Cap Caraibes was not available and that we had been upgraded to the adjacent Caribbean Princess resort. Our rooms there (2 bedroom/2 bath, full kitchen, huge balcony, etc.) were well beyond our expectation.

| The hotel is a clean decent place to stay close to the beach. Other than that - there are no positives. The management was very uninterested in answering questions, helping make activity reservations, or giving general information. They didn't care about guest satisfaction either - we were without water for 24hrs. and their only response was "oh well - it's an inconvenience." I will not return to Cap Caraibes.
