Caribe Host

About us

We manage what you can't keep an eye on

Caribe Host comes from a simple observation: buying in the Caribbean is easy. Keeping that investment profitable from another continent is not.

Why we exist

The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean's leading tourist destination and it keeps growing. That growth brought thousands of foreign owners who bought an apartment or a villa expecting a return, and then found out how hard it is to deliver one from a distance.

The pattern repeats itself: badly optimised calendars, prices that never move in high season, a breakdown that takes weeks to fix, three suppliers who never speak to each other, and no way of knowing what is actually happening inside your own house.

It isn't bad luck. It's not having someone you trust on the ground. That is exactly what we do.

The Dominican Republic was a deliberate choice: it is a fast-growing market, and that growth is running ahead of professional management. More properties enter the short-term rental market every year, and a good share of them are still run informally, with no reliable data and no one to turn to when something breaks. Regulation is starting to change that, and it favours operators who do things by the book. That is where orderly, transparent management makes a measurable difference, and it is what we came to build.

Our principles

How we work

Five principles that shape every decision we make, including the uncomfortable ones.

  1. Transparency by default

    You see what we see: bookings, revenue, cleanings, incidents and guest ratings, in real time and from wherever you are. No polished reports, because there is nothing to polish.

  2. Our interest is your interest

    We charge a percentage of what your property earns. If it doesn't earn, we don't get paid. That aligns incentives better than any sales promise.

  3. Focus before expansion

    Two destinations: Punta Cana and Miches. We could claim to cover the whole country and it wouldn't be true. Knowing an area means knowing its buildings, its rules, its plumbers and its seasons.

  4. By the book, no shortcuts

    We guide you through legal compliance even when it is slower and costlier than operating informally. A compliant property is worth more and sleeps better.

  5. Technology you feel, not technology you see

    We automate the repetitive parts — confirmations, check-in, pricing — so human time goes where it is actually needed: an incident, a difficult guest, a decision about your investment.

Two sides of the Atlantic

The model is deliberately lean. No big offices, no middle layers, no intermediaries adding cost without adding anything.

Founder · Management and owner relations

My background is in IT, where I work and continue to train. That is where the part of Caribe Host you won't see in a photograph comes from: the owner portal, the reporting and the automation that let the operation run lean, with no middle layers. It is also why you can know what is happening in your property without having to ask.

  • Your point of contact for everything commercial and strategic
  • Brand, technology and systems
  • Finance, reporting and payouts

Dominican Republicbeing appointed

Head of operations

We won't manage a single property until this person is on the ground. It is the critical piece of the service and we are not filling it in a hurry: whoever handles a breakdown on a Sunday has to be in Punta Cana, not on the other side of the Atlantic.

  • Day-to-day property management
  • Cleaning and maintenance coordination
  • Check-in, check-out and guest care
  • Quality control and incidents

What we are not, yet

Caribe Host is starting out. We do not manage hundreds of properties, and we are not going to tell you otherwise to win your signature.

There is a flip side that works in your favour: at this stage, every property gets attention no established firm can afford to give. You deal directly with the person making the decisions, not with a department.

If you want a company with fifteen years of history, we are not your option today. If you want someone staking their reputation on your property, let's talk.

Shall we talk about your property?

We'll tell you what it could earn and how we would run it. No strings attached.
