There is a half pipe at Xtreme Hotels... (I saw the construction and was there for the opening, as my son was involved there - nice skating... but not for the timid..) If the lad takes to it.. you can have your computer connected to their wireless network and do some stuff while the kids are occupied.
Cabarete beach is just the right thing for hanging out and chilling. Go to the beach, spend a little money, buy some chairs and get your drinks and food be carried to you the whole day long. One day is a holiday under the palm trees..
Go to the Crystal Caves and climb up and down with a good guide... It is a must do! and swim in the cavern in the caves - don't forget to do this!.
Go for breakfast at Dicks... and chill and people watch. Have the french breakfast - they might just have good pate, or perhaps not - enjoy anyways. (Instruct the kids before hand... sometimes you see the early morning fellows with their dusky beauties recovering from the night before). Breakfast on the run, or sit-down, is always a good one at Dicks.. nice pastries and good coffee!
Take an afternoon for lunch - upstairs at Papi's (La Casita) and have platters of shrimp in a mild curry sauce and other good goodies.. while you look over the whole bay... (Not for those that do not lick their fingers and cannot bear shrimp with shells that you peel with your fingers, dip in the sauce and feed one another... ). Tell us when you're there and we'll join you
Just the best 'slightly boozy afternoon' with a view that you'll want to pay for and big fluffy fruity drinks.. Bring money for this one! and take your time.
Spend the afternoons lazing away at Lax, while the kids try to windsurf.. and you try it too!
Between Sosua and Cabarete, travelling towards Cabarete, there is a little horse ranch on your right... Go in there and get good horses and good guiding - ride on the beach.
For surfing, go to Encuentro (early mornings these days) and talk to the locals there. You can rent boards and rent instructors.. A good and real local surfing experience. Anyone can tell you where it is, otherwise, contact us and we'll go with you
Look our for the one legged windsurfer... He is something to see.
Put the kids to bed one evening and go out on the beach at around 11 to 12... and dance the rest of the night away.
Cabarete is my second most favorite place in the world!
