We stayed here in May '08 for a few days on a surfing vacation and we had a great time. The hotel is located on a quiet side street about a 5-minute walk from the main 3-block strip and a 30-second walk to the beach. The casino is 2 blocks away. This is a good thing as the main street... more

I had a great time at this hotel, might have been because of 24 / 7 wind but also because of some very accommodating owners stayed for a month and when my wife joined me ,unplanned, they accommodated me in a larger room at no extra cost I will be staying there again , better for advanced kiters and windsurfers... more

Went to Hotel Alegria for my best friend's bachelor party this past weekend in April, and I have to say it was one of the best times we could have had. And that's mainly due to the owner, Peter Orr, and his amazing staff. They all went out of their way to ensure us group of 14 guys had everything... more

Were there for 1 week in February - absolutely awesome time. We first stayed at an all inclusive in Puerto Plata and then in Cabarate. You're just a few steps to the beach which is sheltered from the afternoon winds - perfect. Restaurants and bars are a nice 5-10 minute walk down the beach. The hotel room was basic but... more

Right on the beach and close enough to walk to all the beachbars, shops and supermarkets. The staff are wonderful and make you feel very safe and... more

This is a great little botique hotel on the beach in Cabarete. It is located on the end of the beach that is sheltered from the afternoon wind. There is a very good "super mercado" only a short block away. The hotel is very reasonably priced and the people that own and run the hotel treat you like you are... more

My husband and I are over 55 and we were looking for a small hotel where we can bring our dog. It was our first trip in the Republic Dominican and the owners where always there to help us and answer our questions. It was pleasant to be able to talk directly with them at any time of the day... more

Stayed at Hotel Alegria for five days in late December. The staff is wonderful and very friendly. The location is great and everything you need is in walking distance. The rooms are exactly what you see in their photos. They are comfotable, clean and each has a safe (I was in room 33 which has an ocean view and AC).... more
