Where to stay?
This is a question everybody has before going on a holiday. Below you will find my point of view and experiences about different accommodations.
The first time we went to Cabarete was in June 2004. We stayed in an All Inclusive Resort. There were no other tickets available anymore and we wanted to visit Cabarete very much to see if we could build up a future and start our dream (Hooked Cabarete). Now there are many more direct flights from Europe (and the states) to the DR (closest airport is Puerto Plata).I personally stay rather in the small... scaled accommodations. We only were in the Resort in the night and for breakfast. A couple of times we had dinner but the food was not that special. In Cabarete there are plenty of good and very affordable restaurants right on the beach and others a little off the road. You can have dinner for example in a Dominican Local place for around 500 Peso (15 US) including drinks for 2 persons.
We laughed very much about the people in the resort. At 6 in the morning there where already towels in each chair around the pool, and waiting in line and hoping my egg was still warm when I arrived back at my table was also not really our thing.
Staying in an small scaled accommodation where you meet other kiters and surfers is so much more fun. What I see here at Hooked is that a lot of people hang out together and for example make downwinders or go to Cabarete in the evenings for dinner or Party. Most people share the same interest....
Also we try to stimulate that our quests see a little more of the Dominican Republic. We give tips or take people off the beaten path. For example visit one of the Dominican areas here in Cabarete and have dinner and party there. Lot's of fun and a great experience.
Anyway, If you are planning to go to Cabarete, I would suggest look for a small scaled accommodation like ours with a more personal touch. Makes your vacation so much more worth it.
If you do a quick search on the internet, you can find direct flights from a lot of locations or contact us by sending an email or by using the contactform.
