Elkaoba

Terrible conditions for the asking price. No hot water and the rooms were delapedated and in need of a referb. Staff were non complacent and seemed bored at the prospect that something may be amiss. Would definitely avoid this establishment and Cabarete and Sosua for that matter!

I had 10 day vacation In my room: there was a leak from the upstairs bathroom through the ceiling I made daily complains at reception. They send a handyman who used a gallon jug of water cut open on top and placed it above the suspended ceiling to collect the dripping. Helas, he did not find the right spot and the dripping continued. The management send three times someone for no good. I complained daily. The hotel was not at all busy and there were plenty of rooms unoccupied. Four days before my departure I was taken to see another room way back on the last floor of another building far from main entry. The room smell mold and I did not like it. Three nights before my departure I was offered another room in the same building on a higher floor. I tried to talk with the owner and he constantly voided a meeting with me . When he finally took a minute to stop from a ( personal ) call he was doing he told me that the"innovative" way to fixing the leak with the plastic jug was done because of me as I did not want to move to another room (??)!!! No excuses from him, no something to compensate for my trouble, nothing!! NO COMMENTS!!! I was super hurt and felt very disregarded as a customer of the hotel by his attitude. The reception desk people and other staff were all nice, but the owner was to my opinion very rude toward me. TOO BAD !! IT was a nicely located hotel I would not ever go back even if they offer me free ten days!!!

Dispite a mix-up in reservations, the staff were helpful accommodated us the best they could. The "penthouse" was very spacious with nice furniture and appliances.

Stayed at Hotel Kaoba,for the 2nd time,and nothing has changed,except for more barking dogs.The hotel is conveniently located,on the edge of the main street,in Cabarete,but the owner doesn't seem to want to invest much,in maintenance,and landscaping.The 1st-floor rooms are pretty poor,most don't have a/c(which is really nice to have here),and the bathroom was full of mosquitoes.However,if you move up to the 2nd,or 3rd floor,the rooms seem to upgrade as well.They're not luxuriously appointed,by any means,but they suffice for someone on a budget,and like me,one who doesn't plan on spending too much time there.The one thing about some of the rear rooms,was the incessant barking of the many dogs,in,and around the hotel grounds.They have bungalows near the front of the property,which might be a good option,and maybe a little quieter.

Hotel Kaoba is a great value. Not luxurious and not perfect by any means but certainly worth every penny. Location is great, rooms are comfortable and secure, and staff was very helpful.

It attracts a young noisy crowd. Also nearby is youth center which plays loud music all day and night. The pool was very crowded with young kids.

Terrible., shower drainage clogged during the entire visit and they could not maintenance., so I was constantly from the 1st second standing in dirty water the entire stay., they give you one towel and refuse by policy to give 2 towels., insects everywhere., dog pound in backyard barking dogs., no security guard only at nights after 12., bathroom stinks of sewage backed up., entire complex requires painting., they charge 1.20 for ice to put in a paper cup., not cup and ice., just the refill is $1.20 per cup., no phone in rooms., broken closet mirror doors leaning against the wall., door access keys did not work numerously during stay,. I had to walk back and forth 4 times within 20 minutes because key programming did not take on plastic card., internet was constantly up and down., workers were rude seemingly not interested in room issues they said because maintenance person was off work for the week and no backup on premises., poor lightening at nights constantly felt unsafe.., absolutely terrible parking area for 4-5 cars only.,

We arrived to cabarete excited and ready to explore. As we drove into town we were not able to find the hotel due to its lack of charm and cleanliness. When we checked in the staff was not helpfull and had to pay extra for AC. The only positive note of this hotel is its location. Cabaretes party strip everything is walking distance, food, shooping, bars and beach. In other words i dont recomend this hotel!

First off this is not a hotel for those who seek 4 or 5 star accommodations, this is not even a 3, but that does not mean this is a bad place to stay. When we arrived and walked around the facilities I was disappointed, but I remembers why I was there, to enjoy the beaches and the local life that Cabrete has to offer. This hotel is well situated on the main strip, close to all the best restaurants, markets, bars, cafes, and shops. It has a nice pool and a nice bar in front that serves a good breakfast at a good price. The staff is friendly, especially the bar staff which my girlfriend and I enjoyed talking to and they were very helpful about where to go for certain items we wanted to purchase. The rooms are very basic and hope you're not there to watch TV, because its poor. Otherwise the facilities have a unique look that let's you know you are on a tropical island, very natural looking and in the back of the hotel are the wetlands which are a peaceful sight. The signs to the hotel are also very poor and we had to actually go inside and ask if it was the place because there is not sign with the hotel name. We enjoyed the stay there though because after all we got what we the basic needs met, a place to sleep and shower so we could go out and have a great time in the DR, because that's what really matters.

A very practical and affordable place to stay with basic facilities, a good pool and reasonably sized rooms. Unfortunately the ambience was destroyed by resident dogs allowed to roam and barking in the small hours.
