Cabarete Surf Camp

Very good choice in case you do not want to stay in the hotel. This place has a specific atmosphere, some things are little bit older and they should be repaired but it s really cool place to hang out in the middle of palms, flowers and beautiful garden not far from busy beach and centre of the town. It s not a hotel, but a very nice place with the stylish dominican accomodation.

A local language school arranged the accommodation, so I pre-paid for 28 nights. However, on arrival, it was clearly sub-par, even by DR standards, so I immediately requested a better room. After three nights I was given an acceptable Studio (which would have overlooked the pool IF there had been windows overlooking said pool!! Instead there was a nice little entrance patio that overlooked..... a wall). After about 11 days I was told I would have to move back into the original sub-par room as the studio had been booked. I declined and asked for a different studio. That request was declined, so I gave notice I would be leaving after 13 nights. THE MANAGER & THE OWNER BOTH REFUSED TO RETURN 15 PRE-PAID NIGHTS' ACCOMMODATION. THEY KEPT C$277 OF MY DEPOSIT! DO NOT STAY HERE! On the plus side, the restaurant is very popular though expensive by DR standards, and the location is good - only a 5-minute walk from Cabarete town centre and the main beach.
