Overall Ratings & Reviews Kite Beach Hotel and Condos

I was very disappointed with my stay at this facility. I arrived at the hotel around 7 pm for check-in. The front office personnel had gone home for the day so the security handed me an envelope with my name and key. There was no additional information provided about hotel facilities or amenities. After my lack luster check in, I went to the restaurant for a quick bite to eat. The hamburger I ordered tasted spoiled. My room had a persistent foul odor and my ceiling fan did not work. At the time of check out, the clerk made me wait while he completed a personal call on his cell phone, and did not end the call until I placed the key on the counter and began to walk away.

If you're a kiteboarder, this is the place to go. It's clean, the hotel staff is nice, gated parking, excellent breakfast, and quiet. Highly recommend!

Great quiet hotel. Perfect for that weekend getaway

The hotel was below average. The room I had stayed in has paint peeling off and the A/C barely worked. Food was bland and nothing to do on site aside from swimming in a tiny pool that needs to be updated. Bottom line I would not go back there.

its was ok the location was good the hotel need improvement...

Spent most of my first few days of vacation (Thursday thru Tuesday) waiting for repairmen to open my safe . Everyday the front desk told me the repairman was on his way , no later then noon . After 6 days the locksmith showed up. The point break restaurant was a hit or miss. 50/50 chance they would have what was on the menu. It was more of a snack shack then a restaurant. The free breakfast was fruit and powdered juices. That wasn't an issue because there are numerous outstanding restaurants in town to eat at. A few times i returned to my room in the evening to find that the maid service never showed up . Maybe 4 or 5 times out of a 12 day vacation. The resort pool is very very small and there was two or three little local children swimming in it mostly every afternoon. The kite surf shop staff that is attached to hotel is very loud , i witnessed several yelling matches and just general rudeness from them during my stay.

Generally, I had a good experience at this hotel. if it weren't for a couple of issues, my rating would have been significantly higher. I was part of a group that had rooms in both the new and the old buildings. The new building is generally much nicer, but for some reason doesn't have wi-fi. One of the rooms had an unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom that didn't go away for a few days. And while the hotel is directly on kite beach, it was a little farther from Cabarete beach than we expected. Most of the staff were very nice and friendly. Except for the unexplained odor, everything was very clean and well kept.

On the beach, you get what you pay for, convinient

The rooms were decent. Had an issue with the toilet in the first room I was given but the staff changed my room immediately! Also, the cable television never worked the entire stay. Breakfast was included and good. Would I recommend it? Maybe.

Perfect location for kiting. The hotel is OK, but don't expect much luxury. It's nice, the staff is friendly and the rooms are clean. The breakfast is also ok. All I expect for such kind of vacation. It's not a hotel for families or people who don't kite. There is not much to do besides kiting. If you kite, please be careful with the local boys. There are some of the boys who are very friendly at the beginning and want to help you. But it seems that they pinch the kites in order to offer a repair service later.... It's recommendable to talk to Stefan who runs the kite school next door. He recommends you one of his boys. They are really nice and good boys. Don't forget to tip them. Besides this, there is a lot of night life in Cabarete. It 2 miles away. Either you take a nice walk at the beach or you take one of the motorcycle taxis.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The setting was wonderful and never once did we feel uncomfortable. Janina, the hotel manager, was always available to answer questions or make recommendations about restaurants or nearby activities. This is not a place for someone who is looking for an all inclusive experience but it is perfect for a relaxing stay on the beach. The beach is sandy and clean and, when the kite surfers are taking a break, it's a great place for a swim.

The setting of this hotel is wonderful. Every room is near the ocean and all breakfast is prepared oceanfront. The staff members were very accomodating even though they seemed overworked. Some seem to work two shifts: Despite that, they kept a polite demeanor and try to be of service whenever I needed them (to get towels, extra soap, etc.). The condos where my family and I stayed were comfortable although not luxurious - but that is just what we needed. Dario, at the front desk is a very nice man. So was the male manager who greeted us by the pool (Marcos?). Dario came outside of the hotel to meet us when we came late at night, to make sure we did not get lost. He has a very soothing demeanor and made us feel right at home. This hotel has a very relaxed attitude and I did not sense any of the pretense that one feels in other results in The Dominican Republic. Everyone was there to enjoy themselves - stress free! Loved it.

My stay was awful, the rooms has joint doors, the wall leak, the water in the tub when taking a shower run real slow, bed was more like a full size instead of queen, no telephone in my room, no fridge in my room. no elevator. Just not satisfy at all. The mattress has stain all over it.

Worth every penny. Plan to rent again for 1 week in January with the other half.

My boyfriend and I were in the DR for a week and stayed at Kite Beach Hotel for 3 of our nights. Now, I'm wishing we'd have stayed there the entire time. The location is perfect, just outside the town of Cabarete, so it's nice and quiet but still right on the beach. The staff was extremely helpful, kind, and generous. I am counting the days until I can go back!

It's very old. Very small swimming pool. The rooms are not so good.

upgrade to one bedroom . when we arrived there , we decided not to upgrade , but they dont do refund. wont stay next time. it is only location good for kiteboarding ppl.

The room we originally booked was not up to any star hotel rating. So we paid extra for room upgrade and they put us into a two bedroom ocean front condo which we paid $168 more, the AC didnt work and we told the staff and they told us it takes time to get cold so we waited and waited and nothing happen except for fans to cool down the room! The door lock was broken and we told the staff and they give us new key and same problem where we had to twist twist and twist for few mins until the unlocking start to function! Free breakfast but besides cereals there were toast and some spam and cheese! great city but will not ever stay here again!

Amazing place for kite surfers! we were here for 10 days and the wind never died!

I really enjoyed my stay there, it was quiet and staff very friendly. I can really recommend it to others. The food was excellent also.
