Cabarete Surf Camp

1 reader found this review helpful

Four of us total rented the Tarzan Treehouse for 3 nights which included 2 basic rooms and a kitchen for $140 a night. There were TONS on mosquitos and the windows in the kitchen were missing, so there was no escape from them while in the kitchen. It is far removed from the beach. When we arrived, the dishes in the kitchen were dirty, and there was no soap in the bathrooms. When I went down stairs to inquire about soap, the manager at the front desk told me that she didn't have time to talk to me, even though she did not seem to be with other clients. We did not receive soap, and had to buy our own. We slept in one morning past the 8:30 departure of the shuttle to the surfing beach and took public transport which cost about 50 cents US because we didn't want to have to wait until the next shuttle at 300pm to surf. We saw the driver for Cabarete Surf Camp at the beach later in the day, and asked if we could get a ride back with him if we paid. He told us "no way" in the rudest form possible. We decided to walk to the road and he drove the shuttle past us without slowing down and saying something at us out of the window. The staff is incredibly, incredibly RUDE. The service and cleanliness were lacking, and the rooms we rented were WAY overpriced. I do not recommend this place to anyone. There are many great places to stay in Cabarete (we have stay in Cab half a dozen times) -- this is not one of them. Read reviews of other travelers dealing with staff. The actions of the staff affected our stay in Cabarete in a very negative manner.
