Stayed for two weeks in a one bedroom condo on the first floor. Excellent for a small baby: just open the balcony, roll out the stroller and you are near the pool area and restaurant. The place in very clean with a small army of service personnel washing everything, including walkways with some king of soapy solution. All the staff was friendly, eager to help no matter what you need: do laundry or get a bottle of water. Never had a feeling like I have to give them tips (paid them occasionally). The property is not large, but very cozy and excellently landscaped. The tall palm trees near the beach are fantastic, especially at night. Restaurant is surpassingly good with fantastic dishes for budget prices. They have daily specials like fresh fish and events, like taco buffet or pig roast and happy hour for drinks. What we also liked is that that compared to many other places we have tried, this restaurant is very clean and you can actually see the kitchen, which is also very tidy.
The best part of this place is its location: it is close to all the action and sports and activities in Cabarete, Sosua as well as Puerto Plata (overall the North Coast is much cleaner and attractive than the South), yet the place is very quiet in case you just want to kick back and enjoy the doing absolutely nothing. Also many friendly and chatty condo owners from US and Europe live there.

Cabarete East is located on the north shore of the Dominican Republic. With spectacular ocean views, a pool, jucuzzi, and restaurant on site, there is not a more perfect place for a vacation! The ocean is between 82 -85 degrees farinhet, the sandy beaches go on for miles in each direction and are lined with shells, sand dollars and amber. Absolutely perfect for every treasure hunter!! The condos are practicly right on the beach, with ocean breezes and waves crashing to shore, there is not a more perfect location on the island. The units are equipted with airconditioning and double pane windows making it quiet and confortable for sleeping. The staff is professional, accomidating and pleasant. The units are new and in terrific condition and the prices are more than reasonable. We truly had a 5 star vacation for a 2 star price, where else can you find that?!! Cabarete East is the only place we will stay!! Thank you for such an awesome vacation!

Spent 3 weeks at Cabarete East, I think this is our 4th trip to the DR. Always stay at Cabarete East, Clean comfortable rooms, Quiet well maintained grounds and pool, Friendly helpful staff, Beautiful beach for your morning beach walk, or whatever you like. Just far enough from town to keep things peacefull, but close enough that it is easy to get into town if you want. Beach Bar and Resturant at the Condo's is excellent with a wonderfull group of guy's working there.

The location of CABARETE EAST CONDOMINIUMS was okay ..and the private beach..quite lovely...until the locals found their way onto this PRIVATE beach for a game of football..
But the experience was well and truly spoiled by the staff ..
On arrival ...the girl who showed the apartment to us opened the door and pointed to the bed rooms and said have a nice stay and left us to it...We arrived at night and it was dark..She didn't even turn on the lights or show us where they were.
There are no telephones in the room ..so ...if you had an issue ...you have some walking to do..
The T.V did not work and were told that they would get a technician to us the next day..When the technician came the next day... he told us it was our problem.
The bed was as hard a rock..The worse I have ever slept in..
The nights were cold and the only bedding was two thin sheets..so the only way to keep warm was to use the beach towels in the wardrobe as an extra cover. The bed always had a damp feeling..it was as if they put the sheets on before they were fully dried..
A really uncomfortable feeling.
The shower head was broken so I had to fiddle with the shower to get it to work..quite annoying..The sink was blocked in the bathroom for four days before they cleared it.
Throughout the holiday.. every night there was a POWERCUT...it lasted between 10 minutes and 2 hours ..some times there was more than one. The whole estate would be in total darkness..No contact from the staff as to what was going on..
For those out at the restaurant by the beach , they would have to be escorted back to their apartments by various staff members..You could see the torch lights bobbing around outside as you sat in the dark..Never ever an apology for the inconvenience.
You also have to watch out for very tiny mites ..if you leave a drink out for more than half an hour you will come back and find it infested with the insects..
There was no microwave ..which mean't we couldn't prepare quick snacks..
The cable stopped working ..and we reported it as usual...and went out for the day..That is how we handled everything..We would go to Cabarete ..it was lively..fun and the beach was fantastic..Definitely a better option in terms of fun .
If you are looking for a hassle free vacation...CABARETE EAST CONDOMINIUMS is NOT the place.
