We were contacted by a tourist who stayed at the Caribe Club Princess Beach Resort and Spa in April 2015, taking home with her the lamentable state of .the resort cats as the longest lasting memory of her vacation.

It was very disturbing for us and many of the other guests to see the emaciated, starving, thirsty animals in advanced states of pregnancy and all of us were busily feeding every night while the staff completely ignored the situation. Also today, almost a year later, this is my most vivid memory when I think about the hotel. Next time we book a hotel we will make sure that it is one of the hotels in Punta Cana that already spay, neuter and feed their resort cats. Stayed April 2015, travelled as a couple Please, dear supporters, view and like this review. In addition she sent an email to the hotel management which she forwarded to us: Addressed to the management of the Caribe Club Princess Beach Resort & Spa Playa Bavaro 23000 Dominican Republic 02/29/2016 Dear Sirs, My name is K. Müller and I was guest of your hotel. Together with my friend I had booked a double room April 23rd – May 2nd 2015. You wonder why I waited 10 months to contact you? Although the Caribe Club Princess Beach Resort & Spa is a lovely hotel, there is one disturbing feature that keeps haunting me up to this day: Already on the first evening taking a stroll on the grounds of your resort we noticed an emaciated, neglected cat in very bad shape. The next evening, on our way to the dining room, we noticed another very young cat (maybe 1 year old) in bad shape and in an advanced state of pregnancy. We notified your staff so that the animal could be taken to a vet or to an animal welfare organization but your staff wasn’t helpful at all and seemed to consider this cat a vermin to be eliminated rather than a sensitive living being in need of help. Altogether we saw 4 cats at your resort which were all in the same state, looking sickly and nearly dying of thirst and hunger and, even worse: None of them was spayed or neutered! Many, many tourists, also we, were every evening busy feeding the cats because it was obvious that the hotel staff didn’t care. Today I am asking you: Why aren’t these cats spayed and neutered to control reproduction? Why aren’t these animals vaccinated? Why are all other animals fed except the cats? Why does your staff treat the cats so badly, scaring them and chasing them away? Why aren’t you interested in these animals or rather in animal welfare? If a beautiful hotel like yours took care of all the animals on its grounds its guests would be much happier not having to worry about animals in need during their vacation – and after! We really liked your resort otherwise, the food was excellent, the rooms very comfortable. We plan to return to the Dominican Republic shortly but unless the situation of the resort’s cats doesn’t improve we will neither book your hotel again nor recommend it to our friends or acquaintances but go to hotels in Punta Cana that take care of their animals. We have also notified our travel agency of this. My request to you: PLEASE GET THESE CATS SPAYED; NEUTERED AND VACCINATED! These animals belong to the human society for thousands of years and can’t be ignored! You would please many of your guests very much who would be much more inclined to return! I am looking forward to a positive reply. Sincerely, K. Müller Germany Let us try our best with the strength of your support to convince this hotel to become an animal-friendly resort with spayed, neutered and healthy cats and solely pleasant impressions for its guests.
