Hello everyone,

I will be spending a few weeks in DR this summer. I have an opportunity to either stay at the Watermark hotel in Kite Beach or Playa Ventosa Condos. Can anyone provide advice on which location would be better between these two options? Since i'll be there for a few weeks, I'm looking for a location that is perferabley within walking distance or at least a short cab ride to necessities (ie grocery) and restaraunts/entertainment. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

I don't know Ventosa Condos, but Kite Beach is a very long walk from town. You can take a publico or a guagua; don't pay taxi prices,at least on during the day.

Thanks,
Apparently Ventosa condos is accross the street from the sands casino in cabarete. Is this a good location? They advertise as being a 10 minute walk to Cabarete center.

Playa Ventosa is right across the street from the casino, a couple of blocks from Janet's supermarket. A 10-minute walk or so to the center of town. With a high tide, there'll be no sand in front of this place. They built too close to the ocean.

This is a nice complex...units are new, bright and clean. Easy walking distance to Cabarete beach and amenities. Only downside is that it is so close to the ocean the waves are loud.

Playa Ventosa is definitely a better location in terms of walking distance to town and supermarket, but as has been said it's actually too close to the water line, there is a humifity and salt problem inside the units if you keep the doors and windows open...and is incredibly windy, but shouldn't be an issue if you're only there a few weeks...both are new and high-end with nice layouts, high-end kitchens and furnishings. Watermark only has 8 units but an awesome roof deck with jacuzzis...Playa Ventosa is about 3 times the size with a nice group of ex-pats living there...
