I have a friend that loves the place, He goes with his family once or twice a year. I have stopped in to see them and it is pretty
nice nothing spectacular, The rooms are like apts and were clean. About half way between Sosua and Caberette.

I havent stayed there but at another place in the same area... if u like to have a more secluded and calm place for your vacations then this is the place for you. The area is made up mostly by houses and its a safe an nice area. You can walk to the encuentro beach, where surfers go. Beach is about a 10 mins walk. It is located aprox. 1 km from cabarete so you will have to rent a taxi (parked outside the hotel) to go to town, a motoconcho, or just go down to the main road and take a guagua (public car) they charge between 25 and 50 pesos to cabarete. If you are a person that likes to party then its better u stay at a place in cabarete so u can walk everywhere, because i wouldnt advise to walk to the coconut palms. The road at night is pitch black and very lonely and during the day is horrible hot. :bunny:
Stayed there last year and going back next week. repost from Trip Advisor
We (2 couples and a friend) stayed one week and really enjoyed the staff and the resort. Having traveled extensively throughout the DR, it was nice to have no surprises or unexpected problems. The area is very quiet and we had power the whole time. We stayed on the third floor and since it was Nov. 24 - Dec. 3 we had a nice breeze and windows were all we needed. We took a taxi into Cabarete and bought groceries since we had a kitchen and it was a lot more economical. Water pressure was a bit low in the showers but had plenty of hot water. We arrived on a Sat. and the hotel does not offer free shuttles into Cabarete until Tues. (I imagine so you will have to buy a meal package or at least eat at the restaurant a few times). We only ate one time at the restaurant and it was ok but the prices were very high for us ($21.00 US per person) since you can get a meal at Janets for about $4.50 US pp.
The resort is a little secluded so transportation can be an issue. Taxi drivers were willing to negotiate. ie: rented a taxi (van) for 5 people all day for $60.00 US and he took us where we wanted to go.
