Reviews and Ratings
I had a satisfying stay at this hotel. The rooms were exactly what we needed, cute, efficient, and extremely clean with working AC. However, some areas were dirty and dusty. The service was professional, but became friendlier over time. The location was convenient to downtown Cabarete and the beach. The dining options were limited, and the cafeteria was not appealing. The facilities were adequate but could use some improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were somewhat better, with a standard room featuring 2 queen beds and a kitchenette, but lacking pots and pans. Despite the need for renovation, the room was kept clean, even with my kids making a mess. The location was the standout feature, being close to the beach and offering easy access to amenities like cafes and markets. Yet, the dining options were limited and disappointing.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean with basic kitchen equipment available, but they lacked balcony screen protectors connecting to all rooms on the floor. The service was exceptional in caring for street dogs and the location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the beach, restaurants, and shops. However, the dining options were limited and somewhat unappealing.
