Arrived and room had mechanical problems with HVAC, fans, remotes for the television. Asked to speak to a maintenance technician to address the problems, hotel staff became very obnoxious with me. Was eventually switched to a new room that had the same problems and more. Left within an hour of arrival and am working on a refund due to the unsafe and poor conditions of the rooms causing me to have to find a new hotel to stay at.

Overall the property is decent but it's starting to fall apart. No hot water at times, water leaking from bathroom ceiling, Appliances are old and dated, TV HDMI ports are rusty looking and do not work. They also have a huge ant problem and roach problem. The staff is friendly and will do their best to accommodate your needs. Security guard is usually sleeping on night shift. The area of Cabarete is pretty safe but still don't want to see my security sleeping most of the time in the front lobby. The best part about this place is the location. It's literally right on the beach. Even with that, they still have a lot of work to do on this place. It has sooooo much potential to be amazing. Just needs a little TLC. I've stayed at this location for the last 5 years at least 1-2 times a year but I think its finally time to move on. I've found another place also in Cabarete that's well taken care of and up to date with modern amenities.

We liked the outside appearance of the property as well as the apartment's size. The apartment itself appears to be a bit dated and could need a touch-up. Communication was ok after reaching out. Didn't really have information how to check-in until the day when we were supposed to stay there. Everything was smooth upon arrival though and somebody walked us up to the apartment. The amenities are limited. There is a nice pool but both hot tubs on the top of the building were cold. The location of the property is right on Kite Beach, however, about a 20 minute walk to downtown Cabarete.

The location was great. On arrival, Yesenia was warm, welcoming and gracious. All staff, housekeeping, security and groundskeeper were pleasant. The view from the terrace and master bedroom was spectacular. Nice kitchen and good enough amenities. Everything was clean and housekeeping came everyday. I had no issues. It had all I needed. I had a great stay. This is where I will stay when next I go to Puerto Plata.

Well the property is what it is a Oceanfront condo type of Hotel. The staff are great... but would love for these type of Hotel to have like a list of the local restaurant and things to do...very similar to Millennium Hotel but there is a couple of thing that it has over this one...the Luxury Part. Do to the Lock down you will think the Hotel will tidy up things like lighting falling out of fixture, windows missing hinges, an outlet not properly secure that is a hazard, stains on walls and rusty refrigerator doors, stains on balcony cushions, Things like that for me are not Luxury. Take advantage of the slow season now and fix, Than call you self Luxury

Try it you will like it amazing view
I can say this place was amazing as far as the beach view and location !!! The staff was helpful and friendly as well !! It offers you the flexibility to prepare your own meals if you want value for a family or close to restaurants if you choose to eat out !!! The amenities were great and the price compared to other places are in line with the rest ?? We had a great time and look forward to going back again !!! I read some older reviews before and its obvious they have fixed or repaired many of the problems so that they are no longer valid !! Enjoy your stay and rellax while watching some of the gifted kite surfers do amazing things ok god bless

Modern well distributed apartment with great view
Very nice and spacious apartment, modern decoration, marble floors, huge kitchen. Beautiful ocean view, with a little beach that varies in size depending on the time of the year. Very private building with only 8 apartments and elevator. Good sized pool and two jacuzzis on the top floor. Our family had a great time. My teenage daughters did not want to leave. Parking space in the front of the building with security.

Great stay, I liked that the property was small, not too many other tourists and that it felt like a private resort. Loved the view from the rooms, the view of the beach and the size of the rooms. All of the staff were very helpful, excellent stay and we will be back and recommend it to other travellers.

The hotel is right on the Kite Beach with spectacular view. Our room is very spacious with two bedrooms and has fantastic view. We loved the hotel although lots of little things are somewhat frustrating, such as loud AC, doors don’t close properly.... The bottom line is that you can’t beat the location of this hotel if you’re willing to put up small annoyances.

Nice views & location, lacking maintenance
I wrote a long review, but Hotels.com lost it when I submitted. The shorter version is; Nice place, spacious, great views and location to kite surfing and Cabarete. But, needs ALOT of maintenance. Our AC was stuck on, got locked out of our room numerous times, doors didn't open/close, most doors didn't lock properly, pool wasn't clean, Jacuzzi didn't work. Basically, it's big with nice views, but go with the intention of an OK 3 star place. Just lower your expectations and all will be good. Also WiFi sucks, make sure you have a local SIM (Clario or similar).
