The location is great. The Serenade Bar is very nice because it is the quietest bar on the beach. If you are not at Serenade, you are at some other place with a blasting band or stereo, next door to another place with a blasting band or stereo. There is a lot of noise from competing music, but not at Serenade. The grounds are beautiful and the hotel is very pretty.

There is the fire alarm which has a blinking white light that flashes every few seconds. There has to be a better fire protection system than that. Frankly, in that area, each room should probably have a dehumidifier. The room feels moist almost all of the time. I don't think any place would be any different, it is just where you are; things take forever to dry hanging on the balcony. So...other than the white blinking light, I like everything and would recommend it. One last thing, they need to throw out the exercise bicycles in the "gym" and get one decent treadmill.

Nice hotel. Excellent food. Right in front of the beach. If you kite, you can gear your kite right in front!

Be careful, there are 2 buildings. One in front of the beach and the other one right next to the road. The one on the road does not have beach view, does not have elevator and can suffer from the road noise.

The room was actually a studio with kitchen and a private terrace. Very quiet. Easy beach access. We opted for no meals and I am hapoy about that. The staff was fantastic! The a/c worked very well. Also there is plenty of lounges on the beach.

The WIFI was VERY slow. There is only parking for 3 vehicles. Fortunately, everything you need is within walking distance. I do not think the buffet breakfast was a good value. You can get a great breakfast and dinner nearby for half the price.

Loved the cleanliness of the rooms and the friendliness of the staff. Wonderful selection of drinks at the bar, and places to sit on the beach.

I wish the shower had been a little more separate from the rest of the bathroom - it was hard to keep it clean. Also wanted a place to sit in the room other than the bed. The beds were also a little too hard for my liking.

Check-in was no hassle, receptionists all spoke reasonable english (and several languages). All staff were very attentive and professional, everything was clean, facilities excellent and the beach and central location just amazing! Bar, restaurant and pool onsite and excellent food options next door and all along the beach! A great place to learn kite or wind-surfing (maybe next time) with everyhing needed onsite! We had a problem with the tv, and the repairman was there within minutes, though he got it working, the remote only controlled sound.. so without hesitation they replaced the tv with a better one and fully working remote. No surprises at checkout either. We did tip staff, though not required. They were worth it!

Breakfast was good, coffee excellent! A couple BBQ's each week was good, though tough to compete with prices right next door at Front Loops. A very popular and accessible spot that made for a great duo of facilities.

In the middle of Cabarete. On the beach. I was there with my brother for kitesurfing. Stumble right out of your room onto the beach. Pump up the kites and go. We each had our own room. Very clean. Made up everyday. We didn't have the rooms with a view by choice . But I hardly spend time in the room. The food at the restaurant Serenade was great. The people were super friendly. As well as the people from the Ion club. A week was too short 😎😊

No complaints

Breakfast buffet was good, nothing extra special Restaurant was very good most of the time. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The beachside location of the hotel, restaurant and bar is excellent. Great place to watch the kiters and other beach activities

The internet was a big problem. I stayed for several weeks during ongoing problems. Then upon leaving and trying to pay my final bill, the hotel’s charge system would not accept my bank card. A fiasco that had to be resolved with me arranging a wire transfer from my office in the US.

I stayed in a large suite with an ocean view. Bed was very comfortable. Room was spacious. Kitchen area had a small fridge and cook top area. Nice balcony with 2 tables and a chair. Room was clean.

AC in living room did not work as well as it should, but it still functioned. Had to pay extra for an umbrella on the beach

All together the Hotel Villa Taina is a one of the best locations for stay short- or longtime in Cabarete. The perfect access to the beach side with their own beach chairs is worth the money. If you get a room at beach side, would be lucky. But all the other rooms are okay too. The restaurant within the hotel is very good kitchen, the breakfast is huge and delicous. The a-la-carte menue is very good, only the size of the food getting smaller about the years.

The parking near the hotel is still a problem, during rush hours of weekend it's complicate. The local environment is still under bad conditions. All the footpaths on the streets are in bad conditions (they start to overhaul ... but never finished). The water quality of the beach of Cabarete is getting more bad over the years. The community investment in waste water management is still poor.

The location was excellent with lots of good restaurants nearby. The beach was lively with lots of kite, surfing and wind surfing. Everything was very clean.

My room had a mouldy smell. Also, the patio door in my room did not lock properly. Since I was on the first floor, and a woman, travelling alone, this was worrisome. I reported both of these things to the front desk with little response.
