Seawinds, 1 Bedroom Beachfront Fully Air Conditioned.

Check in info was not sent until we were in the airport ready to board international flight. Upon arrival we were told to check in with the administration office. The water view unit that we rented was undergoing "repair" when we got there. So we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom unit that had virtully no clear view. The place was clean, put sparcely equipped. No written directions as to how to use TV's or log into internet. We could not get the Bedroom TV to work at all. Bed was comfortable, linens were nice. Location was somewhat away from town so it required a cab ride for everything.

I was a little disturbed they were not ready or seemed aware of my stay. Once I showed confirmation they went into lets get ready mode. Once we got to apartment lady who was in office put items in dryer. Guy gave us minimum information about apartment. Lucky I read instructions from previous vistors on how to work heat for water. The lightning in bathroom is not great. Also if you are person who likes going to sleep with TV in room there is not one in room. Balcony provided great view of beach. Also directions said washing detergent for clothes and dishes would be provided. Small amount of dish washing liguid and none for clothes. They did have any for anything else. No batteries for remote to change channel. They did provide fairly quickly after I made staff aware. Bedroom for single couple or family with children that are ok with shairing room similar hotel room. There are restaurants and stores within 5-10 minute drive.

Our condo was just what we expected, just beautiful. So often websites "oversell" real estate and make it look better than it really is. Seawinds was super. The condo is modern, spacious and very comfortable. Yes one can see and hear the beach and the surf from our veranda which was where we had breakfast every morning.

The walk to the beach was short and convenient. The property's pool is just gorgeous with ample seating and comfortable chairs. The beach is an exciting place where restaurants are a short walk away. Of course the hit was watching all the kiteboarders with their colorful sails and daring jumps.

One suggestion that would have made our stay even more perfect: the property operation instructions should have been in Englaish. We had difficulty operating the flash hot water system (new for us Americans) but we did get help from the staff.

As for the staff: the best. They were all very helpful and friendly. They could not have been nicer.

Thanks so much for a great week in the Dominican Republic.

Distinguished by an expansive site and manicured grounds and pool area, Seawinds is perhaps the premiere condominium community in Cabarete. After arrival, we discovered that the dishwasher in our fourth floor unit was not working. Our host, Mr. Naboa, arranged a move to another unit on the fourth floor, with a functioning dishwasher. The Seawinds building-wide Wi-Fi has recently been upgraded. In addition, there was a dedicated Wi-Fi system in the unit.

The units were both clean and well-equipped.

We had a great two-week vacation and can recommend this option without qualification.

Le Seawinds est un complexe de condos haut de gamme, sa localisation assure la tranquillité et il est facile de se rendre à Cabarete par la plage (15 minutes de marche) ou en taxi (moins de 5 minutes). Bien hâte de retourner, 1000 mercis Luis de l'attention apportée durant notre séjour !
