卡巴雷特 Spa 度假酒店(El Cabarete Spa Resort All-Inclusive)

El hotel no es parecido a lo que venden en la foto, las camas con polvo, cucarachas y las instalaciones viejas y rotas. Muy mala experiencia.

Mala gestión a la hora de carga l check out sin personal en lobby hay sobre valuación en la fotos en verdad no lo recomiendo pero es opción personal

Excelente

We enjoyed our stay since we make the best of everything. However, the service could improve. After a cancellation of our flight, we arrived a day later than the expected date. When we arrived, the front desk gentlemen did not welcome us, they went straight to the fees and had the copies ready on the desk. A proper welcoming would have been appreciated. Second, the fees are so high. We had to pay about $160 for cleaning fees and wifi. Since we paid for wifi, I thought the wifi was going to work well. It was on and off, I had to login using other routers in the hotel.

This is the 8th time we’ve stayed. It feels like our Caribbean home! We enjoy the freedom we have to either cook in our kitchen, eat at the bar/restaurant or go into Cabarete for a meal. The staff here work hard and always greet everyone with “Buenos Dias” We appreciate the option to pay weekly for the shuttle service into Cabarete and have never had to wait long, especially when we give a heads up via WhatsApp. In Cabarete we’ve eaten great food at very reasonable prices! Cabarete Coffee Company for lunch, Bliss (wow!) and Mesa Taina at Kite Beach (LOVE the Godzilla) From El Cabarete Hotel, this time we went to Ocean World in Puerto Plata and Laguna Gri Gri in Rio San Juan for a 1.5-2 h boat ride through the lagoon to Cueva de Las Collondrinas. We will be back to further explore & enjoy the beautiful, friendly Dominican Republic. Thank you to our family at the El Cabarete for a beautiful vacation!!

A hidden gem! I definitely recommend this place! The experience priceless, all inclusive food and beverage package a must. Our bartender Isaiah was the best! All the food for the cook Carlos was perfect

Very high quality experience, with a helpful staff & gourmet cuisine. If you can splurge for any or all-inclusive, I would highly recommend that. Do your research first but definitely take Wilson up on any of his adventures or activities. However, anything you can do on your own in town is preferred. Pray for good sunny weather!! I will be returning for another stay in the future!! : )

We hesitated to write a review for fear that the blame would be put on the staff. I cannot stress enough that the staff is incredibly hard working and does the absolute best they can, under the circumstances. Especially Esaie!! Rather then leave an emotional and dramatic review, I will simply stick to the facts. - We pre arranged and paid for airport transportation with the hotel. We were never picked up and had to take a random taxi, who inevitably got lost. When we arrived, we were told the driver had a family emergency and couldn’t pick us up. - We were told our all inclusive package was drinks from 11am-11pm. We were not told that the bartender/server had to leave for hours on end in the middle of the day to get a break from working insanely long hours. We would not be able to order food or drinks or get bottled water during this time. Every single day. We had to find this out for ourselves. - We were told there was a beach shuttle every hour. When we tried to go to the beach we were told the shuttle was unavailable and we could walk. We tried and got lost in the middle of the village. When we finally got there (after being picked up by a motorcycle) there were no chairs or anywhere to sit and relax. We asked before we went and we were told they would be chairs. - There was no one at the front desk for hours on end and never at night. On our last night, toilet broke and there wasn’t anyone to help. - The pool was cloudy and dirty. There were toys, trash and used cigarettes for days on end around and in the pool. - Esaie (lovely bartender) had arranged for chairs to be brought to the beach on our last day and for the driver to pick us up. He also arranged for our airport transportation on our last day after we realized that there was noone at the desk that last day to arrange it for us. If it wasn’t for him, we have no idea how we would’ve gotten to the airport that morning. - Oh - and we both got violently ill - assuming food poisoning - on our last night. Immediately after dinner until 2am. This “resort” offered false claim after false claim. To absolutely NO fault of the staff. Horrible experience.

This was our 6th time staying at the El Cabarete, it has become our home away from home! The resort was quiet, clean & restful. The staff is like a family, hosting their guests warmly, ready to do what it took to make us comfortable. We always book the shuttle to go in to Cabarete for lunch, beach or groceries. Chef Chiki created a delicious, super fancy Valentine Dinner, Luke managed the desk with a smile, Ramona & her team rocked the daily cleaning routine, Nino & Keto drove us to/from Cabarete frequently & safely! Thanks to the others who I've not named here...you're all part of a hard-working team. Lunch at Wilson's Bar & Grill at La Boca is always a highlight of our time in Cabarete. We enjoy walking to the deserted beach (shuttle is also available) turning right then walking ~ 30 minutes to Wilson's. Miguel provides the river taxi to a delicious feast of fish & seafood along with Cervesa or Piña Coladas etc. Wilson is our favourite tour guide too...see his poster in the lobby. Other attractions we enjoyed this time: - Pottery shed - walking distance, awesome finds & La Cafeteria Maria! -La Aurora Cigar Factory in Santiago (2 hour drive, scenic views!) -Taino Valley Tropical Park (WOW) -Las Cuevas de Cabarete (Thx Lawren!)
