Kibayo Cabarete

Amazing spot in Cabarete! Beautiful patio and rooms. The only downsize is the location. But if you have a car, it should not be a problem.

Cool place. Quiet and safe.

What a delightful place! It is tucked at the end of a street that doesn’t look all that great, but enter through the gate and you are in a beautiful oasis. The rooms are lovely, the grounds are beautiful, and the breakfast was an extra bonus. I absolutely loved this place and Dani, was amazing to communicate with and so helpful. And, I loved the kayaks on the river/lagoon right at the edge of the property!

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt im Kibayo, besonders dank der beiden freundlichen Köchinnen, die uns stets herzlich empfangen haben. Der Garten und die Lagune sind sehr schön und bieten eine tolle Atmosphäre zum Entspannen. Allerdings gibt es einige Nachteile: Ohne Auto ist die Lage eher unpraktisch. Um zum Strand oder zu Restaurants zu gelangen, muss man entlang einer stark befahrenen Hauptstraße laufen, was wenig angenehm ist. Zudem ist die Auswahl an Restaurants in diesem Abschnitt von Cabarete sehr begrenzt – ohne eigenes Fahrzeug würde ich das Hotel daher nicht empfehlen. Ein weiteres Manko sind die extrem vielen Moskitos, die durch die nahegelegene Lagune ein großes Problem darstellen. Wer empfindlich darauf reagiert, sollte unbedingt ausreichend Mückenschutz mitbringen. Das Zimmer war insgesamt schön, und das Hotel hat viel Charme, aber an einigen Stellen wären kleine Instandsetzungen nötig. Der Preis erschien uns etwas zu hoch. Positiv hervorzuheben ist jedoch die gute Kommunikation per WhatsApp, die alle Fragen schnell geklärt hat. Insgesamt ein schöner Ort mit toller Natur und freundlichem Personal, aber mit einigen Einschränkungen für Gäste ohne Auto.

I loved this quiet cozy haven. The decor is very boho cute, and you're surrounded by a lagoon with lots of birds. We enjoyed hanging by the pool, using the communal kitchen and the staff on site had great recommendations.

Excellent. We had a rental car so it made everything really easy. Quiet location away from the loud street. Everything was a 5 min drive. Lots of effort is put in by the owners of the property so that you have a nice experience. Breakfast and coffee prepared every morning. Tons of refrigerator space in the shared kitchen area. Comfortable beds and pillows. Secure gated parking. Great community and communication with property owners. Perfect spot for. Surf or kite vacation. Grocery markets and gas stations nearby.

Muy buena propiedad tranquilo y sereno y limpio

Kibayo is our favorite property in Cabarete. It's a serene, beautiful space run by wonderful people. Clean, safe, and convenient. Highly, highly recommended.

Very cute and unique!! Ramona was such a delight! Walkable to few places. Really nice

The peace and harmony. The silent place to rest and relax

Overall, my stay at Kibayo was pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though the shower had inconsistent hot water, and the showerhead was old and partially broken. The location is lovely, with a beautiful garden that adds to the charm. However, the breakfast was quite simple, consisting of two eggs, a single piece of bread, and a few slices of fruit. We didn’t get a chance to speak to the owner, and the only person available for communication was the cleaning lady, who also welcomed us. This made it difficult to ask questions or address concerns due to the language barrier, as I don’t speak Spanish.

Dani and her staff made our stay very special! We appreciate the hospitality and if you’re looking for peace & quiet; this is the place to be! Thank you Dani & hope to see you soon!

Overall everything was great. Will definitely come back!

It is an outstanding place to recharge and appreciate the local culture. The property is amazing, and Kite Beach is within walking distance.

It was amazing peaceful. Love all nature Round the place.

Loved it, would definitely come back! A piece of tranquil serenity.

my stay at Kibayo was an incredibly beautiful and delightful experience that exceeded all my expectations.

A quiet retreat very close to the best spots of Cabarete. It was exactly what I was looking for. Would definitely be coming back.

The breakfast offered was horrible & there are no restaurant within walking distant.

The rooms are great. Whats not great is that there is no staff. No reception, no bar, no restaurant. NOTHING. They leave the key for you. So its basically like renting an AirBnB but disguised as a hotel. Definite value for the quality of the room byt if you like hotel service and amenities than this is not the place for you
