Hi there. First and foremost, so glad someone directed me to this site!!
We are heading to the Ocean's Manor REsort in Cabarete in January/06. Apparently it used to be called Las Palmas?? It was damaged from the hurricane, and is supposed to be opened in December. It is supposed to be oceanfront condos. We have a 2 bedroom condo rented, but have been unable to get much info on it. We are not doing an all inclusive , as that is not our style. We want to be able to make some meals in our condo. I like to experience the different restaurants in the area as well. I just feel that all inclusives prohibit that. I have some concerns from what I have read also about it not being safe to wander around to experience the island. I feel some of it is slightly exaggerated. Correct me if I am wrong.
When I ask our home resort ((Georgian Manor Resort, Collingwood, Ontario) about Oceans Manor, I get the same response.
"They are still working on it, and have no info/pictures, amenities, etc.) It sort of makes me leary to say the least. We purchased a membership from them which gives us a condo in any location in the carribbean . First time we used it, we went to St.Maartens, this is only our second trip. I just thought someone would know this resort by the previous name "Las Palmas"
I am curious as to the exact location, accessibility to grocery stores, night action,car rentals, etc.
Does anyone, who has been to Cabarete, know anything of this place. Or at least what to expect.
We have not travelled much, have only been to St.Maartins (which was great) . I like to be a little more informed prior to arrival so I can be prepared for what the country has to offer.
Any help would be wonderful!! Thanks in advance!!!
