Hotel Alegria is nestled between two bigger and fancier (more $$$) hotels (Velero Beach and Ultra Infinity). It should be mentioned up front that Alegria does not offer direct access to the beach, nor does it have a pool. However, the beach is only 5 min away on foot. Alegria’s location is excellent; only a few minutes to Janet’s supermarket and several inexpensive restaurants (Papi’s and La Cocina de Mami). Despite being close to Cabarete’s main street, Alegria is reasonably quiet. Alegria does not currently (Feb 2023) have food services, but coffee is available in the morning. The booking procedure is ‘different’ because Alegria doesn’t accept credit cards. We found out that this is not that unusual in Cabarete; many of the smaller restaurants don’t accept credit cards either. With respect to booking, one has to pay a deposit in advance (by PayPal) and pay the remainder (in cash) upon arrival. Once I understood the procedure, it all turned out OK. We had a 2-bedroom apar**ent on the ground floor (with 4 beds and 2 bathrooms). It was spacious and clean. Moreover, the place was cleaned thoroughly every day and the beds were made. The kitchen had most of the needed ‘stuff’ and we even used the gas oven once (with advice from the staff). The bathrooms were average with a functional shower and hot and cold water. There’s a safe. Drinking water is provided from five gallon containers. Importantly, the staff was very friendly and willing to help.

I stayed at the Hotel Alegria for a month in March 2022 and it was just lovely - friendly, welcoming staff could not do enough for me. It was just a few steps from the hotel to the beach bars and restaurants where one could dine with toes in the sand. It was also a couple of minutes walk to the best supermarket in Cabarete and other shops. Hotel Alegria is at the end of the bay, giving stunning sunset views, and you can either walk left along the main part of the beach, or walk right to find rockpools and a totally deserted beach where you can often have it completely to yourself. I rented a motorbike to get around easily, but I spent most days just enjoying the mature garden, the rooftop terrace and the a**osphere of this lovely small hotel. While I was there it was changing ownership, and the new owners had a wealth of ideas to make it even more comfortable and pleasing. I look forward to going back. It was also surprisingly cheap for such a wonderful location.

I landed at this place because there was no other suitable availability near Cabarete beach for the dates I wanted. I paid the same price for this place that I would have paid at a 4 star nearby. The place is clean but the accommodations are extremely basic and poor quality. We had to pay cash which was not stipulated in our reservation. No one carries that much cash for safety reasons. Manager/Owner was also kind of rude to his Receptionist, Joseph. Needless to say, I will not be staying at this place in the future.

I stayed a couple of nights in a sea view room, which I absolutely loved. I never use AC and here they has something much better: mosquito screens and a fan. The view was wonderful and you can hear the sound of the ocean all day and night, since the hotel is located at the end of the beach, off from noise. Wifi is good and there's a fridge, too. The bed was really comfy and the decoration easy on the eye. The staff was friendly and the owners are renovating the place to be even better. I will definitely be back, when in Cabarete.

Amber was particularly friendly welcoming us to the hotel.

Property and the staff are excellent.
