1. Select your Hotel Package

We offer 2, 3, and 4 night packages that can accommodate between 2 - 4 guests each. Prices are listed per person.

You have the option of choosing between Exclusive and Value packages.

The Exclusive package has a larger selection of nightlife events and includes pool parties and Carnivale Music Festival
The Value package offers a smaller selection of 1 event per day only

2. Select your Event Tickets & check-in date

Each hotel package includes event tickets for each night of your stay. E-tickets will be sent out on July 20th, 2026.

To assist you in choosing your 2026 events, you can view last year’s events by clicking here. Information on this year’s venues and guest appearances will be released in Spring 2026.

3. Enter the names of your Group Members

If you are purchasing your package as a group and would like to allow each of your group members to pay for their portion of the room individually, please select one Group Leader to confirm their payment first.

Your Group Leader will then input the rest of your group members’ names. The group leader will then receive a unique Group ID number and unique website payment link to forward to the other group members. To ensure to book your room as a group, you must pay via your unique Group payment link.

Please be advised that All prices are subject to change as we approach Caribana 2026. Hotel packages with limited quantities may be subject to daily price increases. This applies to new purchases and groups with outstanding individual payments. Prices are NOT locked in for outstanding group members and any outstanding payments will be subject to price increases.

4. Review payment quantity

You can choose to pay for more than one group member by selecting the quantity number. For example, you can update the quantity to 3 to pay for all portions of a triple package (3 people). If it is only yourself that you are paying for, keep the default quantity at 1.

The group leader will then be sent a Group ID and unique payment link for the other group members to pay at.

Once checkout is complete, please take down your Sales Order Number. This is your receipt number that can be used by Customer Service Representatives to look up your transaction in our system.

Ticket prices increase daily. High demand events will sell out.
