Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Alegria

I loved the beach view. it would’ve been nice for the restaurant to be open even for breakfast. I was sorry the hot tub was not working. I think the new owner should put a little investment into this beautiful area. It could be made so much better.

As digital nomads, the internet is not reliable enough to work from. Our room was right next to one of the WIFI routers and still was going in and out and not able to hold a teams call. The water was also not very hot for showers. Hotel management did accommodate us by refunding us the remaining days and we paid and stayed for only one night before moving to Kite Beach at an airbnb for the remainder of our stay and had no problems and even worked from the beach while watching the kite surfers which was very cool!

Everythings Perfect

My studio was very comfortable and clean. It had the basic supplies for cooking simple meals. I was very close to the beach, shopping and a variety of wonderful restaurants. A very convenient fresh fruit and vegetable stand was right outside the gates that offered delicious ready-made fruit salads as well as Dominican produce. The staff at Hotel Alegria were friendly and always ready to help with big smiles. Joseph in reception provided excellent service (including fresh coffee) along with the very nice cleaning and maintenance staff. I would stay for longer next time!

The room and property seemed to be a bit rundown and dated. TV in room didn’t work. Was ok, but not an ideal place to stay especially for the cost.

It is an old hotel but the staff is friendly and everything is clean, do not have a restaurant neither a bar but everything is close nearby, it is ok price versus location

Great position, furniture not new at all but clean and handy, common outside area very nice

Excellent location, wonderful staff and very. Lean!

The hotel is ok . . My room was soo dusty alot of mosquito. The room needed to be sweep. Needed to put in a humidity box. The bathroom needs more room it was too low.

The staff iis friendly and very attentive, the apt was good, just need to be upgraded with better furnitures and appliances, the rest was great! Thank you to the guys, Specially Melvin - See you soon Hotel Alegria -

Hotel Alegria is nestled between two bigger and fancier (more $$$) hotels (Velero Beach and Ultra Infinity). It should be mentioned up front that Alegria does not offer direct access to the beach, nor does it have a pool. However, the beach is only 5 min away on foot. Alegria’s location is excellent; only a few minutes to Janet’s supermarket and several inexpensive restaurants (Papi’s and La Cocina de Mami). Despite being close to Cabarete’s main street, Alegria is reasonably quiet. Alegria does not currently (Feb 2023) have food services, but coffee is available in the morning. The booking procedure is ‘different’ because Alegria doesn’t accept credit cards. We found out that this is not that unusual in Cabarete; many of the smaller restaurants don’t accept credit cards either. With respect to booking, one has to pay a deposit in advance (by PayPal) and pay the remainder (in cash) upon arrival. Once I understood the procedure, it all turned out OK. We had a 2-bedroom apartment on the ground floor (with 4 beds and 2 bathrooms). It was spacious and clean. Moreover, the place was cleaned thoroughly every day and the beds were made. The kitchen had most of the needed ‘stuff’ and we even used the gas oven once (with advice from the staff). The bathrooms were average with a functional shower and hot and cold water. There’s a safe. Drinking water is provided from five gallon containers. Importantly, the staff was very friendly and willing to help.

Great

Amber was particularly friendly welcoming us to the hotel.

I landed at this place because there was no other suitable availability near Cabarete beach for the dates I wanted. I paid the same price for this place that I would have paid at a 4 star nearby. The place is clean but the accommodations are extremely basic and poor quality. We had to pay cash which was not stipulated in our reservation. No one carries that much cash for safety reasons. Manager/Owner was also kind of rude to his Receptionist, Joseph. Needless to say, I will not be staying at this place in the future.

Property and the staff are excellent.

Excellent staff

The first room was too hot, so upgraded to ocean view. The view room had balcony and I could catch a breeze. The place was somewhat run down but represented value in the area

Great location. Friendly helpful staff

Centrally located, accessible to stores and restaurants

Overall, good bang for your buck…
