Kite Beach Hotel and Condos

This hotel is in a great position for kiteboarding,right on the beach,the staff are friendly and the apartment we stayed in was a very good size, however the quality of the hotel was disappointing it needs some detailed cleaning,towel rails, taps shower heads need fixing and limescale removing, the counter tops needed granite cleaner,as they were dull, the pool although from a distance looked clean on closer inspection needed again detailed cleaning,it also it would be nice to have have some glasses plates knives and forks etc in the apartments and not have to keep asking for these basic items.some of the buildings need exterior painting, the building we were in was updated though still needed the things done previously mentioned. The breakfast comprised of omelets sometimes pancakes, cereal, fruit like melon, pineapple and toast, the fruit juice was that powdered stuff which has a strange taste,there should have been fresh fruit juices avaiable, I had to go and buy some from the local supermarket, the food at the bar was ok nothing spectacular. Over all We were disappointed, I think the hotel with some simple changes could be really good

The hotel is a nice. Right on a beautiful beach. The first day we were there, the beach was extremely crowded- with people kite surfing or learning to kite surf everywhere. It was so crowded with kite surfers, that it was completely impossible, and dangerous, to get in the water if you were not kite surfing- swimmers could easily have been run over by a surf board. Since it was our first day there, we thought that the beach was always crowded like that, so as soon as we woke up, we drove to another beach about an hour away. When we returned, the beach at the hotel was empty, and continued to be empty until our last day there. Thus, I am unsure whether the beach is usually as crowded with kite surfers as it was on the day that we arrived. If it is, I would strongly suggest that you not stay at this hotel if you are not a kite surfer or if a significant portion of your group consists of people who are not kite surfers or are not interested in learning how to kite surf. We stayed at this hotel because of the other good reviews, because nowhere did I read that you should be a kite surfer to stay at this hotel, and because I thought it might be fun to stay here in case I got the urge to learn how to kite surf. While I was there, I did get the urge to learn how to kite surf, but the lessons were expensive. It was $79/hour. The guy providing the lessons (I don't know whether he was affiliated with the hotel) was really nice, and said that he would give me a free 10-minute lesson just to estimate how long it would take me to learn to kite surf. After my 10-minute lesson, he said it would take 3 days (I think it was 1-2 hours per day for 3 days, to be more exact). I appreciated his honesty. That is, he didn't give me a low, untrue estimate, just to get me to fork over some cash. Anyway, if the beach is not usually overrun by kite surfers, this would be a great place to stay. On our last day, we practically had the beach to ourselves, and it was awesome. Some other notes: - The pool is pretty small. - The rooms are beautiful with absolutely beautiful furniture and a spacious closet. - We stayed in a studio, and the bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. The bed was too soft, and the pillow I had was oddly shaped- almost as if it had a basketball stuffed inside it. I woke up every morning with back pain. As soon as I returned to my bed in the US, my back pain went away. The pain went away after one night of sleep in the US. - The shower curtain in the bathroom was too short and there was no bathtub. As a result, water from the shower flooded the bathroom floor every time any of us took a shower. - The room had a kitchenette with a stove, but no pots or pans to cook in. - The faucet in the bathroom is so close to the sink that it was difficult to get water on to my toothbrush without having my toothbrush touch the sink. Having my toothbrush touch a sink that other people have used (my guests, prior hotel guests), and that has been cleaned with who knows what chemicals, is disgusting. So as you can see, my feelings about Kite Beach are mixed.

The hotel is exactly what you'd expect for the price. It is clean, friendly, right on the beach. More importantly, the beach is clean and almost empty--just locals and other tourists. I felt safe leaving my bag on my beach chair. The bars keep lounge chairs out front & you don't even have to pay to lay on them. Watching the kite surfers was a blast. THe htoel attracts an interestestnig and quirkly group of people. We enjoyed socializing with people in the hotel bar and restaurant. It's an easy walk or motorcade right to town. Great for the price!

The Location,Beach, some staff & Reception are the only good things about this resort. The food selection & quality is below even DR standards. The rooms are need of majar repairs.Leaking taps,toilets.Ac doesnt always work. Gaps all around outside door to allow sunlight,bugs & noise to enter. Small rooms with no chairs, just a bed & one small dresser. Very noisy as there is no sound barriers between rooms, which allows even a whisper to be heard next door. If you book the room with a full kitchen, living room, patio & 2 bedrooms than you get a place that has lots of room & is nice.We were shown a room like this but could not book it as it was under repair & also neede to be painted & new furniture. Not worth the price we paid, if given for half price than it would have been more exceptable.

I chose this hotel because it was the least expensive that I could find for the area that I needed to be in. At first the a/c was not working. So they put me in another room until they could fix the a/c. They told me that the last person in the room didn't complain about the a/c. The bed, the lamps, the nightstands, the entrance door, and the bathroom needed to be changed--very worn out and unkempt. There was not even a chair in the room to sit on. No phone in the room either. I was charged 110 pesos for a 40 pesos bottle of water.

Still loved it the second time around. Have considered other hotels but am always drawn back to Kite Beach. A wonderful trip....the staff, facilities, restaurant...everything is great!

Staff is so friendly...location is beautiful and ideal for enjoying the beach. I will be staying here again next year!

This hotel was perfect for what I was looking for, I wanted my privacy without a lot of noisey tourist. Had a great experience, it's the anti Punta Cana

the location is great for kiting. about 2km from the town. just far enough to have a quiet corner but not to far. the staff is frendly and profetional, especialy janina. the food is fresh

This place is the place to be if your are a kite surfer and want to walk out your door to the famous kite beach. The place is clean and the accomodations are what you would expect for a 3 to 3.5 star hotel. Breakfast was included and was somewhat sparse (fruit, bread, and eggs if you ordered them) and the restaurant was decent and moderately priced for the other meals. Downtown is a 20 minute walk or $2 scooter ride and lots of good restaurants to choose form and very inexpensive. All in all, we wanted a sort of small, no frills hotel on the beach and this place provides that. Be sure to take shampoo, razor, toothbrush as there were none to be found.
