I had a week-long stay at Caribbea Bay Hotel, and overall, it was a good experience. The staff were attentive and responsive, especially Terry, who made my stay memorable. The room had its ups and downs, but the hotel needs some renovations, particularly in the bathrooms. Despite some issues with power and the internet, I found the service to be commendable, and the boat cruise added to the excitement of my stay. The pricing was reasonable for what we received.

My stay at this hotel had some ups and downs. The location is absolutely stunning, right on the banks of Kariba Dam, offering some incredible views. The rooms are well air-conditioned and modern, but the overall cleanliness could use some improvement. Unfortunately, the dining experience was rather disappointing, with both high prices and subpar service. Despite this, the beautiful scenery makes it a memorable destination, but I would be cautious about value for money.

We had a lovely family trip where the new shower setup in our room was a highlight, and we enjoyed delicious, fresh meals. The hotel is well-maintained with a capable management team that creates a welcoming atmosphere. However, some areas such as the room maintenance need attention, as our room was quite dated, and we faced issues with the bathroom door and air conditioning.

My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable, with breathtaking views of the lake and decent recreational activities. The staff was exceptionally professional and responded swiftly to complaints, but there were issues with power outages and slow Wi-Fi. While the service was excellent overall, the absence of certain amenities like fridges in the rooms was a downside. The dining, although good, left room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The beautiful views are a highlight, but the dining experience was frustrating with inflated prices and slow service. The staff showed potential, especially one who went above and beyond. The rooms were refurbished nicely, but there were issues with power outages and Wi-Fi connectivity. Overall, a place that needs improvement in service and dining but has a lot of potential.
