Beachside Vacation Getaways at Vecinos

Surrounding Area

Cabarete is world-renowned wind-water sports destination with all the charm of a tropical village atmosphere. We're 100 meters from the gorgeous ocean beach across the street, and 10 minutes from the bustle of downtown Cabarete, which provides all the amenities a vacationer looks for - beach sports, souvenir or grocery shopping, bars, dining and night life. Local vendors hawk delicious fresh produce or BBQ chicken and pork from roadside kiosks.

Book a dune buggy excursion, beach horseback riding, jungle or river boat safari, mountain/waterfall rappelling or whale-watching tour from main street vendors. A walk through the Cabarete Caves feels like traveling back in time. Rent a car and explore on your own, to experience the rich diversity that makes up this island nation.


Windsurf lessons or kite-boarding classes and equipment are readily available from beach-side shops with instruction from the local pros.

About 50 minutes east of us, is the world class golf course at Playa Grande, designed by Robert Trent Jones - a must see/play for every golfer. Other courses are found at Playa Dorado (30 min west) and closer.

Casinos beckon along the road from Puerta Plata to Cabarete, offering the diversion of modern gaming facilities.

Over a dozen beaches are within 2 hours of us, in either direction, and await your discovery and enjoyment.

Larimar and amber (our local "gemstones") are available at mines along the Touristica Highway through the mountains, or in local gem shops at Puerta Plata, Sosua and Cabarete.

If children are well-behaved and respectful, they are welcome here. You'd need to provide your own supervision of their pool and common area usage.
