I went to look nearby yesterday at a new project just being built called Kings castle or King's beach....can't remember, but it's in pre-construction on the beach very close to the kite beach...a little closer to 'downtown' Cabarete. The prices in this initial phase seem reasonable and they are marketing it as time share for now, with the option at anytime to buy. You can even knock the price down according to everything you spend there, even at the shops....if you keep the receipts. Prices for some units start at less than 100K U$D. I am a little wary of timeshares but if the deal as is they say then it's quite an attractive one, especially with the type of rent to own option they offer. They even at this stage have plans you can change depending on what you'd like for room sizes and shapes. You can choose the tile, marble, furniture and wall tile even, which is pretty cool. Unfortunately I don't have the card on me right now, but I'll find it and post further info. very soon.
