If i was a kitesurfer maybe i would feel differently, but as a beachgoer who really just sits in the sun and does a bit of snorkeling and them maybe goes and has lunch and a beer or two, i found this place to be very lacking. Constantly harassed to get a massage, look at tour books, buy a hat/coconut/various... more

Our family visited Cabarete for two weeks Dec.\04. We had a wonderful time on the beach, checking out the small shops, resturants, grocery stores and nightclubs.

I went to Cabarete the first week of June 2004 to windsurf. I made my hotel reservations and windsurfing package through Vela Windsurf Resort (velawindsurf.com). The reservation staff in the US was excellent. They can answer any questions you have about the properties available. This was only the second time for me to windsurf, so I got the beginner's package.... more

Stayed there in March '97, so info. may be a bit dated. Stayed at Cabarete Beach Hotel, where accomodations were decent. Cabarete as a town was much more endearing than the nearby Sosua. Will go back in January '04, will stay at the new Velero Beach Hotel. more

Didn't enjoy Cabarete, but my friends did. Pros: Rooms from $15/night. Decent beach. Cons: Felt very third world. Noisy, smelly scooters on one main road. Kids hawking typical unimaginative stuff on the beach. Don't stay in the town of Cabarete. Go up the road where the hotels/restaurants are much better. Contrary to advertising, not the best windsurfing location for beginners... more
