Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Stayed in beach front building 2 of Ocean dream complex from end of July to early August. The complex is well kept, conveniently located just outside the center of town. There are security 24/7.
There are no elevator in any of the building. I have a 4th floor unit so carrying two huge luggages up 4 flights of stairs was a pain. The view from beach front unit was amazing. I can kitesurfing right outside. There are rinse station and a nice beach front pool.
Overall no major complaint about the complex other than walking up and down 4 flights of stair 7-8 times a day was tiring. Units in the complex are also higher priced than nearby rental. I would probably stay in a different complex with elevator if I return.

We stayed at 106 Kite Drive in the Ocean Dream Condo complex. We rented through Pat and Bob K and were greatly impressed with their professionalism and help. They could not be more willing and able to insure our comfort and answer all our questions before and during our vacation. The 2 bedroom unit we rented was spotless and had all the amenities expected from a first class hotel/condo. The building we stayed in consisted of 12 units surrounding a pool---very private. A short walk took you right to the ocean, right in the midst of the kiting and windsurfing areas of Cabarete. One drawback was there were no chairs to sit on right in front of the condos, but a 5 minute walk took you to an area where you could rent two lounges and an umbrella for under $10 daily. The water was phenomenal. Rental opportunities for sports equipment were plentiful. We felt very safe and secure in the apartment. Would love to return!

We had seven people and stayed at 221 Kite Drive. This place was outstanding. It was right on the beach with a great view of the sports action on the beach. It was very quiet and clean. It had three LCD flat screen TV's. The patio was very large with very nice furniture. We ate most of our meals out there. When we ate out we just walked down the beach to an array of fine restaurants right on the beach.
For a total of 350 bucks a night this place was fantastic and highly recommended.
We went through a friend of the owner, [--]

Was given lawyers name and told all legal disputes handled in Spanish. Owner, Pierre did not even have courage to return my call. No refund, no apology, complete RIPOFF!!!

Response from Pierre Dardelet, Agency / Consultant at Ocean Dream Condominiums
Responded 31 Dec 2020
First of all, it is important to note that Ocean Dream is a residential complex whose units are managed by several and different entities: the owners themselves, some agents working on their own names or some private properties management companies. Reviews about the rental services offered by a particular owner or intermediary in relation to a specific unit should therefore be considered individually and not generally. Ocean Dream is not responsible of the individual management of its residents properties. Then, L'Agence Real Estate - who is one of the private properties management companies working for the owners of Ocean Dream - does not agree with this review at all. The apartment, which was booked a long time ago, was prepared and checked as per our customary high standards. A full check-in was done in presence of the renter as usual and he signed off the inventory and the one year rental contract stating that the apartment was in good condition and everything worked. He even sent an email a few days after entering in the apartment saying that everything was OK. We agreed that 1 toilet out of 3 was slow to flush and decided to change it, but the renter never answered to our request for an appointment to change it. Also, it was only one couple for a 3 bedroom unit, which means that they still had the possibility to use the 2 other toilets. All other items on the list of supposedly non-functional features are simply not true. We can only surmise that the renter changed his mind about the stay and invented excuses to get reimbursed although he had signed a one-year contract. The first excuse was saying he had an accident, and after that he started inventing problems. It seems that this was not the first time he changed his mind, he told us that he previously rented a property in Puerto Plata that he did not like at all and decided to move in another place. Note: at the time of writing this response, we still have not received the keys to the apartment and the residence access passes. Finally, we trust that readers will differentiate between a particular case and the general reputation of Ocean Dream; and for those who might be interested in the quality of our services, we invite them to visit our Internet and Facebook pages as well as the reviews on google business.

The week of March 17 I went into the office of Ocean Dream, met Eva to rent a room and paid half of the amount required for one week. 3 days later I went in the office to inform them that my plans had changed and I could no longer stay there, so I asked if I could get my deposit back. They informed me that this was not possible as the money was already in the account of the unit owner. My only solution at this time was to request that they contact me if someone came in to rent that room, thus the possibility of getting my deposit back. On Tuesday March 26, 2013 the day I was initially supposed to check in I went in the office to see if the room had been rented, they informed me that it had not. I said that being I had paid half the amount for a week I would like to have the room for the amount paid which should have been 3 and half days. When I proposed this they now insisted I pay more as the daily rate was different than the weekly rate, so I said ok I will not give any additional money and only stay for two days and loose the rest of the money. So we agree on this and Eva gets the keys and is bringing me to my room but when in the stairs she now introduces a $500 deposit. I can understand a deposit but nothing about this was mentioned when I initially went in for the rental. So I say ok it is $500 for a week, so what is the amount per day and she says we do not rent daily therefore the amount is $500. Yet she had just agreed and I had paid to rent the room at the daily rate she gave me which is different than the daily rate I would have paid if I had stayed for a week. I have stayed in Cabarete over 20 different times in the last 4 years and have never had any problems when renting hotel rooms or apartments. Ocean dream looks good and the rooms look nice and confortable but the business practices are quite questionable, I would not recommend staying at this place as there is no common sense approach or willingness to assist clients. Now anyone can read this posting and say that this is a much personal situation, but aren’t they all. To sum it up I lost my deposit and they most likely rented to someone else making 1 and half times the weekly rent for the room. There are many other places to stay in Cabarete so do not take any chances on Ocean dream, stay somewhere else.

We have been to Cabarete many times. This was our first stay at Ocean Dream. Ocean Dream Condos' location is excellent. Right across the street at the front gate and in the plaza beside are some of the excellent eating spots. La Rosas grocery store is nearby and you can easily walk to bring home groceries for cooking in. Whether in a unit near the back with a ocean view or one near the front you should not be disappointed. Units have excellent pools. Our unit was close to the front and we could see the security gate and street from the kitchen window. Interesting to watch the traffic at the busy intersection. Since the units are well built there was never any problems with street noise. The whole complex is kept very clean. Garbage is collected daily from all the units. Gardens are well kept and manicured. At night the units are quiet and you sleep like a log. We were a 3 minute walk to the walkway to the beach. The beach is excellent and is the hot spot for kite surfing. Many great restaurants and bars are a short walk away on the beach. You can cut up to the main street and have a safe short walk back to the condos for a change of scenery. Scotia Bank is on the main street so all you Scotia bank customers - take your bank card and get money from your account in pesos - no need to exchange. We walked home from the bars on the beach at night and there was no feeling that we were not safe - the beach was busy after dark and lighting is quite good. As long as it is a reasonable hour you should be safe especially walking in a group with others. The security guards on the gate are friendly and learn to recognize you quickly and always greet you with a smile. In my opinion Ocean Dream Condos have one of the best locations in Cabarete. They have an affordable elegance about them. We will be returning next year.

After renting here for 90 days we were more than disappointed by the management office L'argence . They began by changing our price just before we moved in to a higher rate over Xmas.once we arrived the kitchen supplies were worn, broken, missing things. The linens were stained and there was an infestation of ants.we had pre approved our cat on the lease, but during an outing to get our daughter for the holidays we were told we could not enter the gate , we had to pull off have someone from the office verify we had a cat on the lease and we had not approved our daughter. We couldn't enter and come back to fix this we were pulled aside. On top during an outing with people we met and went to their pool I came home to an email informing me I had to stay in my own pool. I inquired at the office telling them I had been invited and they said that was fine but each time I would need to inform them. If your renting here be sure to rent directly from an owner! Avoid this office. The staff were abrupt and very cool with any issue. Much nicer places in Cabarete for sure.

This place is beautifully designed but has incompetent administration.
It often happens to stay without water and/or power for a day; (the place generates its own electricity).
If you want to rent a condo, there are better places in Cabarete.

Response from LEKCabarete, Owner of 717 Kite Drive at Ocean Dream Condominiums
Responded 28 Jan 2010
Glad that you enjoyed the beautiful design of Ocean Dream! It is indeed lovely. Just to address the power comment. Since your visit in 2007 Ocean Dream has connected to the city power, as well as having the back up generators, and this has solved 99% of any power outage issues. In my experience 24 hours without water is very rare, Ocean Dream is on city water and again, its quite reliable. Thanks for your consideration and kind regards, Laurel

I had an amazing stay at the Ocean Dream condos. This is my second time staying here and would absolutely recommended for couples or families. This time I came with a family of 4 adults and 1 child. I booked the 2 bedroom condo. But upon arrival Sonja upgraded us to the 3 bedroom. It was huge! great decor, big kitchen, 3 bathrooms, amazing balcony with a hammock, washer and dryer inside the condo, free wi-fi. I just love staying here. It makes you feel like you're living in Cabarete. The location is one of the best things about this condo. It's within walking distance of the center of Cabarete. The beach is a few feet away. Lots of kite surfing on the beach.The pool was nice and warm and although you share it with the other 3 bedroom condos it was never crowded at all. Security is also very tight at this property. Each guest gets a card which you need to show at either the front entrance or the beach entrance in order to get in. There's a security guard walking around the property all day and night. It makes you feel very secure. I'm definetly staying here again next time I visit Cabarete. As always Sonja does everything to make you feel welcome.

I stayed at Ocean Dream Condo at 106 Kite Dr. I couldn't have asked for better, the beds were very comfy, it was beautifully furnished and very clean. The location was great 5 minute walk to the town, bars and restaurants. The beach was on of the nicest I have been on. I say don't hesitate this is a great place to go. We stayed in 634.
