I booked a room with this hotel and it was below standard so I requested a better room. I had wanted a/c and a tv. The room they showed me the air conditioner didn't work. So they took me to another room, in which the a/c also didn't work. Finally, I was shown a fourth room that had a separate bedroom in which the a/c worked but in the main room and bathroom the a/c didn't work. The front desk person helping me had to keep going back downstairs behind the front desk to find the right a/c remote that would work and keep changing batteries out from one remote to the next. It would seem easier to have them all stocked with batteries and the right remotes kept in the rooms themselves. Really an inefficient system. I was assured someone would come fix the a/c that night but no one showed up. Also, a light bulb in the room was out and I didn't find it the cleanest hotel in the world, and also noticed that each room was missing either washcloths or a bathroom floor towel in each bathroom. The only good thing I noticed was that the hotel was in a good location of town.

This hotel is one of the few that's right on the heart of Cabarete's strip. The location is great!! It's right across the street from the beach. The rooms are pretty good. They're bungalow style, except for a few. Each room has a private balcony. The hotel istelf is quite private. It has a restaurant & their breakfast is pretty good. They also have internet at the hotel which is inexpensive compared to the other internet cafes in Cabarete. If you want AC, it's only $5 extra per night & a safety deposit box is $1 per night. The hotel isn't the best, but what does one expect if it's not a 5*...it's not the Ritz so people shouldn't expect that service. I've been going to Cabarete since 2004 & this was the 1st time at Kaoba & I'll definitely be going there again. The price is great, location is awesome & it's a very good value!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

We liked the privacy of the bungalows in such a crazy little town. The are just across the street from the beach and are quite clean and nice for the price. The shower was hot and the bathroom was clean. The bed did give me a kink in my neck, but other than that it was great. We just had a fan and were plenty comfortable. We did actually swim in the pool and it was cool and clean.

This Hotel is average, Convenient, definitely not the Plaza...but clean
Stayed here twice before, reason? no, not the service, not the Cordial treatment from the staff (a bit cold).. not the pool (too small).

The reason I kept coming back is the budget price, the cleanliness, the convenience (across the street from the beach). I only had breakfast at the restaurant once. There are many cafes right in front of the beach (Still reasonably priced). On my second trip, I brought my elderly parents with me, they had a blast sampling some of the authentic local restaurants. (You get to interact with the locals..) from here, we were able to take day trips West to "Cofresi" and East to "Samana".

I'm not a fan of the "All inclusive" deals, however there are plenty of those around in case you dont feel adventurous and decide to change course.
