My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights on November and had a great time. The hotel is in the middle of town but if you stay on the ocean side, then the rooms face the ocean and you cannot hear the town. The room was on the third floor and we had a balcony overlooking the pool and looking out to sea. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I have been to most of the Caribbean, all over Asia, to many many beaches and I would definitely come back here. We did not eat so much at the restaurant or the bar but both looked fine. The staff here is super sweet and helpful.

This Hotel is perfectly situated on Caberete beach if you are looking for Waves and wind to surf, Kite and paddle board. It is owned by a German family, who are very friendly and all spoke perfect English. The bar and Restaurant staff were absolutely amazing and seemed to be locals, most had good English. It was my husbands 50th when we were there and they secretly decorated the table with flowers and balloons, plus the Chef baked a massive Birthday cake.The head waitor, Mario, organised for some musicians to play"Happy Birthday". I have Coeliac's disease and also Lactose intollerant, but the restaurant catered for me really well as each night the food is cooked to order, no stale buffets in sight! Make sure you book a standard ocean view room on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Air con worked very well. Mozzies come out in force at night so cover the legs. Vendors on the beach were a bit of a pain, but a stern "No" usually worked. Most were very friendly and every day at 2pm we had fresh Mango for lunch. We would definately book this Hotel again, missing them all already!!

Located at the west end of Cabarete 2 mins walk from all the clubs restaurants & bars.

This recommendation was certainly spot on, modern & clean with great air-con, reasonably priced with a small pool. The hotel accesses directly onto the beach at the rear.

We stayed in room 401 on the 4th floor of the new block, fantastic room with great views & a sun terrace.

Breakfast in the beach restaurant was lovely, one of the best of our holiday in the DR.

Villa Taina was a great base for the last 2 nights of our holiday.

Located within 20mins drive of Puerto Plata airport.

Not sure why we had to leave a $50 deposit when we prepaid at checkin, we don't steal towels! This alone is the reason for the downgrade from Excellent!

We chose to stay at Villa Taina for 4 nights in September 2011, since it was a centrally located hotel with a good rate. This property is on the beach right in the center of Cabarete. We were given a room on the 4th floor (no elevators) and after speaking to the reservations manager, they were very kind to upgrade us to a 1st floor room overlooking the pool. Pros: Location, customer service, great beach Cons: Uncomfortable beds, no irons in room, small pool, poor breakfast. Overall this is a nice property at a good price and they are constantly upgrading the rooms. This is a good property If you are looking for value, location and good ammenities.
