Fabulous spot
Review Submitted: June 23, 2008
Date of Stay: March 2008
We traveled with 4 adults and 3 teens and this was a perfect condo setting. The unit itself was beyond our expectation: clean, nicely decorated, comfortable, friendly neighbors (some permanent, some rental, and some weekend get-aways from other parts of DR). Pool was great and the beach was fun although WINDY. But that is exactly what Cabarete is known for and this attracts world class wind surfers and kite boarders. It was a pleasure to watch their impressive stunts. The surf is great to swim in and we were told that a reef surrounds this area, called Kite Cove I think, so that there has never been a report of a shark sighting.
Ocean Dream is quite private and secure but within minutes (walking) of the beach, downtown, and many restaurants. No car necessary; taxis are reasonable and plentiful. Staff is helpful. Our teens enjoyed independence but, we felt, with relative safety.
Also, most other vacationers are not American, mainly European, so it did not feel like just another sun/fun tourist spot - no McDonalds or Pizza Hut! The Dominicans are kind and not so jaded nor desperate/pushy as one finds in Cancun, for example.
It was exactly what we were looking for.
Owner's Response: Thanks a lot for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to accommodate you again if you plan to visit Cabarete in the future!
