Kibayo Cabarete Boutique Hotel

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt im Kibayo, besonders dank der beiden freundlichen Köchinnen, die uns stets herzlich empfangen haben. Der Garten und die Lagune sind sehr schön und bieten eine tolle Atmosphäre zum Entspannen. Allerdings gibt es einige Nachteile: Ohne Auto ist die Lage eher unpraktisch. Um zum Strand oder zu Restaurants zu gelangen, muss man entlang einer stark befahrenen Hauptstraße laufen, was wenig angenehm ist. Zudem ist die Auswahl an Restaurants in diesem Abschnitt von Cabarete sehr begrenzt – ohne eigenes Fahrzeug würde ich das Hotel daher nicht empfehlen. Ein weiteres Manko sind die extrem vielen Moskitos, die durch die nahegelegene Lagune ein großes Problem darstellen. Wer empfindlich darauf reagiert, sollte unbedingt ausreichend Mückenschutz mitbringen. Das Zimmer war insgesamt schön, und das Hotel hat viel Charme, aber an einigen Stellen wären kleine Instandsetzungen nötig. Der Preis erschien uns etwas zu hoch. Positiv hervorzuheben ist jedoch die gute Kommunikation per WhatsApp, die alle Fragen schnell geklärt hat. Insgesamt ein schöner Ort mit toller Natur und freundlichem Personal, aber mit einigen Einschränkungen für Gäste ohne Auto.

The property was super clean from inside out! Is not on the beach area but was wonderful for me the owners are so friendly! He let me stay 2 hours extra because my flight was at 6 pm ! I will suggest to include in the dinner menue more items like hamburgers and hot dogs? Thank you! Oh the breakfast is included was amaaaazing!

Owners are super nice

If you’re going here for the description or the advertising- DONT! It is indeed very misleading this is not a high end retreat place , more like a dormitory/ hostel vibes. The promised 3 minutes walk beach you can’t bath in, rooms are outdated poorly lit and with stained walls. My 1st room was very worrisome as it had a door that didn’t open on my end and led to an adjacent room, I asked to be moved to 2nd floor bedroom due to associated safety concerns, they nicely did! Needless to say I’d left the next day and luckily relocated to better option and saved my vacation. Safety here was my top concern, the owners do live there however when they’re away the staff brings in people to hangout there adding to my concerns. The pool is so dirty I was skeptical of using. The staff do a decent job in welcoming clients and truly liked them, the restaurant side it’s ran really well and wish the rooms were treated the same way. There’s no entertainment as advertised, it it’s more like a once in a blue moon type of thing and not something the host offers regularly. I’m from the island , I am used to mosquitoes however for someone that’s not it might be an inconvenience. The property is on a dirt rd making it very hard to move around if you aren’t driving. Food at the restaurant it’s mid, and overall would not recommend. I wish them well because it is a beautiful concept that needs a lot of work and a bit more caring owners. The events should be parts of the everyday stay given the ads.

Fantastic small place, great service. Although is away from the main road and the beach, it is only a 10 minute walk to one of the nicest empty beach in the area. The contact with the owners and employees is key the facilitate everything. Good breakfast and beautiful garden with a natural lake.
