I am staying in Sosua May 2-9. I would like to venture into Cabarete this time but have two questions. I know it is easy to get a taxi from my hotel to Cabarete, but is there any place in particular I should get dropped off? Also, is it very easy to find a reliable taxi in Cabarete to take me back to hotel? And are there certain spots that you recommend seeing while there? Keep in mind I have two kids 14 and 8 that are with me. Thanks!

Cabarete
The middle of town is Bon Icecream on one side and O'Shey's on the other. You can walk thru O'Sheys to the beach. The beach chairs are free, if you buy a beer or a coke. On most days the Kites go up about 3, depending on the wind. Have a good time. Just tell the beach vendors No. There is a Taxi stand just down from O'Sheys.
From Jose O'Shay's, on the beach, you can either head east for about 2 football lengths and you will see numerous restaurants and nice places to sit at, or you can head west for as long as the eye can see and, again, you will see numerous nice restaurants and places on the beach including Kite beach where all of the Kite Surfing action takes place. if it's a windy day, bring a good camera and be prepared to see some amazing kids kite surfing. the action usually doesn't begin until late in the afternoon after the wind picks up. however, it does begin earlier if there is sufficient wind.

You might want to consider taking a publico or guagua from Sosua to Cabarete. You will save a lot of money and have a new experience. From Sosua to Cabarete costs US$15 dollars by taxi, one way, by Publico cost US$0.65 (25 pesos) and 20 pesos by guagua. You will have to walk to the road from Cabarete to Sosua, but that is only a couple of blocks from most hotels. In what hotel will you be staying?
Well what I would do and if you want to see Cabarete and do not mind a 20 min walk along the beach. On a sunny day...with some palm trees moving...Take a taxi from Casa Marina around 1 PM (they should do it for 500 pesos) but I am sure that outside Casa Marina they want 20 US. Anyway tell them to drop you off at Kite Beach, for instance kite club. There you have restaurants and snacks and the kiters. It is at the bottom of the picture below... then around 3-4 start walking towards Cabarete along the beach. Nice safe walk. After 20-30 min you will come to the center of all restaurants. Enjoy a poo or a drink or even a beer at jose osheas.. But pleasedo not go back and say that "Cabarete is sooooooo expensive" if you choose to eat and drink at Osheas. Your choice. Taxis are waiting outside on the street. Again 500 pesos should do it. Have fun!

There's dozens of good, quality restaurants and bars. just stop at the first one that you like and sit down and have lunch and fresh coconut water or pineapple juice. there's no need to fret over this restaurant over that restaraunt. just look for one that seems comfortable enough and sit down and relax.
that's what vacations are about. don't fret over where to go.
I think his suggestion about walking from Kite Beach down to Cabarete is excellent. it's only a 15 minute walk, and you can stop along the way at dozens of small charming restaurants and bars.

What is the name of the condos directly off the beach?
You might be right if it is really windy... othervise....Hey...The new generation.... I think a 8 year old should be able to walk 2-3 km, even run it!! If he cannot, he probably played to much xbox and visited Ronald McDonald to often
