I have visited Cabarette several times a year for some 15 plus years and stayed at numerous hotels, apts, and private villas, the View is by and far the best I have ever encountered.
If you want to be pampered and never leave the grounds, Cabarette offers numerous all inclusive, some excellent values, or go to the south shore.
If, however, you're the adventurous type who enjoys walking the beach, exploring Cabarette beach side restaurants, bars, and night life you won't find a more spacious and luxurious place to reside than the View.
It offers a panoramic view of the length of the beach, watching the wind surfers and wind surfers dance in the horizon from the apt all the while enjoying a serenade of the gentle rolling surf. An if you want to enjoy an even expanded 180 deg view just venture up to the 4th floor deck that is perfect for sunning and completely equipped for a outdoor meal with a charcoal pit, range, sink and bar. We spent several evenings just relaxing and soaking up the sights and sounds of the beach with a late night cocktail.
You never need to feel insecure, Raul, the maintenance man if around during the day and a treasure trove of information on island opportunities. A security guard is around all night and the complex is under camera surveillance.
Need supplies: Janet's supermarket is a short 5 minute walk.
Transportation: I have given renting cars, except maybe for a day, the insurance is higher than the rental. Taxi's are much more cost effective even going to Sosua or Puerto Plata. They arranged a pick up from the airport for $30 and we wound up using the driver, Ricardo, all week. He was readily available with a phone call. Great guy.
The spacious sensation of the apt is enhanced by the floor to ceiling glass and furnishing are top notch: 3 TV's w/ Satellite, & Wi Fi.
We are sold on the View and I can't image staying anywhere else on future trips.
