I would go back tomorrow!
Pros:

It’s such a chilled vibe, so near from the best surf spot. I visited this place twice, 6 years apart and both times I had such a great experience!

Tremendous experience. Nice stay with surf class
Pros:

Beautiful place. Not a beach to enjoy with family and small kids. The ocean in front of the complex is more suitable for surf and kite surfing. But still a beautiful place.
The hotel has an amazing structure. Restaurant, pool, a surf school in front.
The room is very well distributed, small without compromising. Has an aircon and small refrigerator. Bathroom is very funcional and worked perfectly also.
They offer a delicious breakfast also.
Stall was very attentive and welcoming!!!
I recommend taking clases with Parallel Surf. Very professional attention you will get. They offer classes and surf board rentals also.

Great place for a stay in Cabarete - truly paradise!
Pros:

Great place for a stay in Encuentro beach - very nice and helpful staff, very good food, nice facilities and easy access to the beach.

Cons:

If you don’t have a car, transfers to Cabarete are complicated (taxi is the only alternative and it’s expensive)

Amazing
Pros:

The property was gorgeous and the staff was very accommodating. We felt like we were at an all inclusive resort!

Cons:

The only thing was the kids school would come into the pool and disrupt our quiet time at the pool. Not a huge deal at all!
