Cabarete Surf Camp

Stayed at a relatively nearby resort and went here for dinner. They served the best steak I've ever eaten and it was ~$11 USD for it and a side of French fries. Would definitely go at the end of my trip next time, just because it ruined my resort's food for me for the rest of my time there.

A cabarete institution. Amazing churrasco the best in town. Staff is nice and good service. A must visit place. If you want to avoid the crowds go early after 7-8 it can get busy and the waits get longer but worth the wait. Also have lodging and surf school.

Excellent romantic stay with my husband. We stayed at the "riverhouse" a beautiful wooden cabin over a lagoon full of fishes and turtles with a lovely outdoor little kitchen over the lagoon. We had a wonderful breakfast prepared by my husband with a wonderful view of the lagoon. They also have other types of lodgings such as the "tarzan house" which is like a treehouse among others. The restaurant is extraordinary also located over the lagoon. Being vegetarians Nacho went out of his way and prepared us delicious vegetarian meals an exquisite vegetarian pasta and rice with vegetables thai curry. There is a beautiful swimming pool with crystalline waters very calm refreshing and relaxing. The 4 legged residents are the best so educated and friendly. This place is perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking for peace and relaxation. 100% recommended!

Un lugar verdaderamente hermoso, sus playas son hermosas, me quede enamorada del azul del cielo unido con el mar, parecen uno solo las gentes muy amables y servicial ; me siento feliz de haber conocido Cabarete.

New management, Antonio is no longer working there. Beautiful place with different rooms for every budget. Great restraunt with friendly staff. Very relaxing vibe. Walking distance to the beach and Cabarete's restaurants and shops.

AVOID - Alli's Cabarete Beach Hostel Surf Camp and Italian Antonio

GO - to Kite Beach instead for professionalism and better learning conditions.  

Antonio, the hostel manager and kite boarding instructor; confirmed on email and earned my business by offering four nights of private accommodations and six hours of lessons for $236usd.

At our first meeting I was asked to sign a waiver that was not written in Spanish nor English.   On Cabarete Beach there is no separation between the hoards of oblivious Beach walkers and the numerous kites being launched in different directions, instructors aren't properly monitoring or controlling the situation for safety; during my first session we crashed the kite into a lady on the beach and the second day entangled a man in the lines, the student is only as good as the instructor. Also on the second day one of the air chambers on the kite popped, in mid air.   The third day when the kite was crashed in the water, it also popped and ripped; after Antonio yelled the same blame at me the second time for "Damaging his two thousand dollar kite, " I calmly asked what the plan was and he said my lessons were finished.   I only received three nights of accommodations and four hours of instruction; the scammers demand payments upfront, professionals bill you for actual time and services rendered.  

Tony's methods of training are ineffective and not for the faint of heart. I had a career in Coast Guard leadership and am a SCUBA instructor, but with the two to three foot chop and the instructor hanging on my back; I spent a lot of time with the wind swept waves breaking over my helmet, I felt like I was being initiated and waterboarded.   The other couple who's lessons overlapped mine were not pleased with the product received either; he did not feel that he learned anything, and she only flew the kite on the beach all three days.

Everything like it should be at the surf spots. Shady green area, clean, and serviced (they remove leafs from the sand), soft sand beach, shower (but twice without water), caffe with bites that are pretty good, and nice helpful people! Exactle how the surfspot should look like! And, waves of cause. For the beginners it's a good spot definitely!

It's a nice green Island with super friendly staff, a pool and super cool apartments, which have kitchens. And not pricey at all.

Great place to change the scenery of the beach, and grab a dinner in a jungle setting. Place, best known for it's delicious churasco, offers a selection of simple yet delicious food options both meet and seafood. It also offers hostel-like accommodations, which should work great for young crowd and travellers on a budget. There is a pool, trampoline, and a few hangout areas with hammocks and stuff.

One of the best kemp’s dining experiences in Cabarete. We stop by the restaurant here at least once on every trip to Cabarete and are never disappointed.

OK I guess, not outstanding. Reasonable price, food was OK. Service was slow, typical of the culture not in any hurry.

Cool vibes and cheap hostel. The owner has dangerous dog who had bitten me while I was there and he didn't want to help me. I was not the first person to got bitten by the dogs! Stay away!

Accomodation is definitely worth it, but dont go for the surf package if its managed by Anton, total douchebag.

Wasn't staying there but there's a restaurant at the lagoon which is definitely worth a visit. Really nice food, but mozies might pitch up in the evening.

Endroit très agréable en ce qui concerne les prestations. La nourriture du restaurant est excellente. Le soucis vient du personnel on ne peut plus désagréable à l'exception d'une cuisinière. Très bel endroit. Parfait autant pour prendre ses premiers cours de surf ou pour surfer en tant que confirmé.

Me encanta este lugar, es mi Spot en cabarete, servicio excelente, un ambiente un tranquilo, la comida riquísima y con buen precio.

From basic huts to spacious apartments, everyone can find a great room in this village style 'surf camp' located 5 mins by foot from the beach. The restaurant which is located next to a small lagoon offers great regional and international cuisine which even attracts locals from all over the island. There's usually a lot of young people to meet, some backpackers, some surfers and those who just want to relax.
My favourite place to stay in the DR!
Not an all-inclusive style place.

Only been there to eat. Food is great, steaks and ribs are the best in town. Very good value for money. A bit mosquito crowded.

The Restaurant is really magical by night. The food is OK. Bring a repellent or otherwise mosquito bites, but the view and atmosphere is worth it ;)

Petit resto pitoresque.sans luxe ni prétention. Wifi disponible à certain endroit dans le resto.et très bon signal à l'extérieur.ou quelque petite table son installé (idéal pour le digestif). Menu diversifié. Mon préféré après 3 essais le thai Chicken exellent dans une sauce crémeuse de lait de coco $299 peso
