Stay in Cabarete proper
Staying in one of the many places in downtown Cabarete has many advantages, especially safety and convenience. Taking motorcycle taxis at night is dangerous. Walking outside town at night is dangerous.
Windsurfing, kitesurfing and surfing are all offered on Cabarete beach. There is horseback riding, golf, mountain biking, canyoning nearby.
Look into Palm Beach Condos, Velero Beach Resort or Ocean Dream Condo's for high-end beach-side accomodations. Villa Taina slightly more moderate. Or Cita del Sol, Kaoba or Albatros for less expensive rooms. All of these recommendations are walking distance to most everything in Cabarete.
Enjoy!
