Presidential Suites Cabarete - Room Only

this is a beautiful property with great pools and a fabulous ocean front. i would have rated it as a 4, but my shower did not heat up beyond tepid for the last 4 nights. for anyone going, this is a great place, but it is not a hotel, it is a timeshare. if you want your room cleaned, or new towels it costs $20.00. the food in the restaurant is reasonably priced and tasty, and there are 30 oceanside restaurants within walking distance to meet anyones needs. you can stay here for a week, and never leave the beach. the rooms all have wifi and the junior suite that i had was very nice and large. it was supposed to have a garden view, but the balcony actually overlooked the street. if you are from New York, you will be comforted by the noise, but walking up at 4:00 a.m. and hearing a motorcycle going by honking its horn, takes getting used to. i would say that this is a great place to stay, but temper your expectations

When I entered the bathroom, there was a pubic hair on the towel beside the sink. I know that sounds made up, but it is the truth. Other than that, the room seemed clean. The bed was incredibly hard and it was difficult to sleep. The room was right by the road and it was extremely loud with all the cars, motorcycles and associated honking. This also made it hard to sleep at night. The location is exceptional as the hotel is right by the beach. Even though we were on the other side of the road, there was an elevated walkway just outside our room on the third floor. The walkway connected to the other part of the hotel so we could easily cross over and get to the beach. If you don’t mind hard beds and possible cleanliness issues, the location can’t be beat.

Stayed 3 nights. Staff very good and friendly. Room service for an extra fee. Noisy street! No matter where in Dominican the street to walk down or hotel on street is noisy. I don’t know why everyone has to rev their engines but they do. Could possibly come up with some organic or man made sound barriers to help. Prices in restaurants a bit higher. Overall, nice place, clean, lots of pool spaces and close to beach with a convenient overpass to cross the crazy streets!

Presidential Suites Lifestyles in Caberete is clean, safe, comfortable rooms with balconies. It is right on the beach so it is assessible to beach activities, beach restaurants and night life .

Very nice accommodations, the section I stayed in was overlooking the pool and ocean, super gym facility, professionalism in staff, great location to walk to main beach/restaurant area.

I loved my suite! The multiple pools were very beautiful, the staff was friendly and helpful. I had a great time and plan to come back soon !

Quiet little spot, but couldn’t really enjoy because of construction going on. Nice pool and dinning options. Rooms were spacious and clean

This was my second time stay at this property. I loved it both times and cannot wait to return. The property is clean and the staff is lovely. It feels very safe and security is around 24/7. Restaurants are all walkable along the beach. It is very quiet and calm at the resort. The bar service at the pool is slow (island time). The room has a full kitchen and the grocery store Janet’s is an easy walk from the hotel.

Right on the beach quick walk to restaurants and bars, always stay here. I love it.

Everything was more than ok, great price, clean, pool area amazing, easy access to the beach, the only thing they need to revise is the noise level on the exterior rooms, facing the street… It is very inconvenient at night, they really should do something about it… An acoustic solution in needed asap. I would gladly stay buy making sure in advance I won’t get one of those rooms again…. Other than that, staff more than amazing, from the security guard on the entrance, receptionist, cleaning staff, top 🔝…

I liked the cleanliness, wash clothes and soap were provided, the oceanside pool and restaurant had a fantastic view of the ocean and easy access to it. To have the room cleaned was $20 canadian. Coffee machine in the room but no coffee, so bring your own. Fridge kept things cold. My room was opposite the ocean side above the main street. It was very noisy, even with the patio door closed.

We had a great experience! Service was outstanding. Just one area for improvement in the cleanliness of the bedding, as the pillows had a smell of sweat.

We were unaware that our room would not be cleaned unless we paid extra. We were given two towles for 3 nights and had to remove our trash on our own.

Bed, Blanket, pillows with very bad smell

Nice and clean

While the property was fine and the room was decent, there was a small roach in my bathroom and the security guard was rude to my friend that lives in the area and to my fellow traveler. The front desk staff was generally friendly, but there clearly a bias towards older white guests.

Hotel rooms have everything you need for a pleasant stay: large comfortable beds and bathrooms that are clean and shiny and very helpful staff.

La porte de la chambre donnait sur la rue principale et le bruit des motos/scooters nous réveillait car cette porte n’est pas assez isolé du bruit extérieur. Dommage car superbe complexe hôtelier.

Posto molto carino e curato,pulito,vicino a locali e ristoranti…stanza grande e bella,aria condizionata non rumorosa e acqua calda in doccia. Consiglio vivamente per chi vuole passare qualche giorno a Cabarete. Io ho preso una stanza che dava sulla piscina ed era silenziosissima.

When you look at this hotel online, it looks as though you were on the beach. What you are on a very busy road looking across to the ocean. The rooms are dated. The elevator is smelly. The staff was adequate.

The rooms and pool are modern, look good, are clean, staff are friendly. However there are many problems. There is something unfriendly about the place which has no reflection on the staff on the ground, they force you to wear a silly bracelet for the duration of your stay and basically fine you if you remove it, there is a long list of other things you can also be fined for. This bracelet thing might be normal for an all inclusive hotel where the lazy customers do not leave the hotel however I like an active holiday and dont like a bracelet that screams I am a silly tourist please mug me. On the first morning we were pressured into a silly time wasting tour of the hotel which purpose was to sell things, it was very difficult to get out of and was very odd, the guide even sat with us for some of our breakfast. The biggest problem is the noise inside the room, the fool that designed the place has us walking to the room in a hallway open to a very busy road meaning that the only thing between the bedroom and the road noise is a normal door, if you are a light sleeper this will not work for you as vehicles are very loud here. I imagine the architect designed the place working in an office in a city far away and spent no time on site before, during or after construction. The bedroom is very poorly soundproofed and the bathroom has no extractor fan but a strange vent in the wall which means you can hear a lot of uncomfortable toilet, shower and sexual noises from the neighbour

The property itself and the room were very good, and might even rate four stars. The exception is the fourth floor where we were first located (the fifth floor has the same problem). The room balcony faces the busiest and noisiest street in the Dominican Republic; it was impossible to use. After repeated requests and two nights we were moved to the third floor, which was much quieter and had a very pleasant balcony overlooking the back garden. The room was more than adequate. The staff service, however, was non-existent by design. Hotel staff never once entered or cleaned the room (we stayed 10 days). When I asked for clean towels I was referred to the desk; they informed me that for $5 US we could have the original towels replaced by clean ones. I refused. It was by any measure, one-star-hotel service. The management of this hotel is cheap beyond compare, and are turning a first class place into a beggarly bother, apparently trying to save a few bucks by not providing their customers with services that even roadside motels provide without question. What a shame and a wasted opportunity.

Overall this a great place to stay. Clean great pools and quiet if you book away from the road. HOWEVER. The listing is misleading. Main picture shows a sea view. There is no sea view from presidential suites as it across a busy main road from the beach with huge building blocking your views. Across the road is the sister apartments lifestyle and it the pics from lifestyle that show the sea. Also. Garden view means you are in the main road and will be kept awake all night from road noise which is very loud. Choose a 1 bed or similar with pool view to be away from the road. Also. They do not service your room unless you pay. I stayed for 11 days and asked for at least clean towels which they obliged after day 6 but no clean sheets !! I was a solo traveller so no major issue for me. Kitchen is fairly well equipped. Micro. FF. Hob kettle coffee maker, toaster maker etc. you get a full list of everything upon arrival and if anything is missing they will charge you at the end. I saw an American couple who were missing 2 hand towels and they were charged $20. They said my ashtray was missing but as I don't smoke and had no use for it or even ever saw it I refused to pay. When you check out they want you to wait while they check the room. This is not a quick process and after 20 minutes I left anyway as I had a plane to catch. Just be aware of this as it could mess up your timings. Check out 11. Great pools and beds. I would stay again for l sure.

I would gladly stay buy making sure in advance I won’t get one of those rooms again…. Other than that, staff more than amazing, from the security guard on the entrance, receptionist, cleaning staff, top 🔝…

Only downside is that this place is no longer all inclusive and the Timeshare reps hound you thruout the day which is quite annoying

Property required a wrist-band, and when I lost mine it cost $50 to replace! Yes, they warned me upfront, but NO I do not consider this a reasonable fee for a lost wrist-band!

The good: Amazing rooms. Jr bedroom suite is huge with a great bathroom and lounge area, tiny balcony. Great beachside pool. Quiet side of Cabarete, but 3 min walk to tons of restaurants on the beach The bad: It's a timeshare and they will make you listen to a 1 hr presentation and talk circles around you to get your money (read reviews). You get a free bfast and you can tell them you aren't interested and they will back off after a bit. The ugly: I called ahead and asked for early check-in. They said this was allowed for early flights. I arrived at 10 am and they said you can check in at 10:30. I waited 35 min and went back up and they started to check us in. They gave us bracelets for the pool and said you can have your room at 3pm. In my book, that's not checking in. They claimed they didn't have rooms ready, but when pressed, said we could buy a room. Shady. My other friend was coming in at 3 am and I triple-checked that she would be able to get in. They showed me her envelope with her name on it and key inside. Sure enough, the front desk calls me at 4am because they said they don't have any record of my friend having a room, even though its in the system. I go downstairs and they find the envelope and we check her in. Then 4 hrs later, they call my room and wake me again to invite me to breakfast for the timeshare pitch. It's bad enough that the street noise is hard to sleep with but the front desk waking you up twice in 1 night for no good reason is -1 star each.

While the property was fine and the room was decent, there was a small roach in my bathroom and the security guard was rude to my friend that lives in the area and to my fellow traveler. The front desk staff was generally friendly, but there clearly a bias towards older white guests.

Room and grounds were nice, location worked out very well. Felt there were to many rules. Had to wear a colored bracelet. My family could not bring any guests onto property for meals at our room. Very restrictive. We were stopped from using the walk-over bridge with guests on our way to restaurant because guests did not have bracelet. Fresh towels, for room you must pay. Front desk very unresponsive, no sense of urgency. Checkout. Juan at front desk had us wait while housekeeper went through room to ensure all "Inventory" was there. We waited 20 minutes, and housekeeper reported a fork was missing from utensil drawer. I assured Juan that we did not take any forks, he said we should have checked every single item when we checked-in. He told me we had to pay 3 dollars for the fork, or we could not check out! I paid him the 3 dollars and at the same time the housekeeper called back she found the fork. He laughed, said "sorry" and gave me back the 3 dollars. Seriously, no sense of apology, nothing that indicated he even cared that he delayed us. Overall the vibe here was distrust, not allowed to have guests over and everything has a fee or charge for what is normally basic service at other hotels.

They make you pay for everything! E.g. house keeping is NOT included and costs you 15$. Worst thing is that you have to pay 25$ for visitors even they wont use their hotel services/facilities at all. And at checkout they force you to wait until the room has been inspected, never experienced anything like this!! Furthermore teh traffic is so loud, had to sleep all week with ear plugs.

The friendliness and service rendered by the staff were amazing. I will definitely stay again.

This property is a membership resort. They tried numerous times to convince me to purchase a membership. I would consider, however they were extremely pushy, they wouldn't wash towels, we had to go purchase additional toilet paper, and when we left, they tried keeping us there so they can do an "inspection" of the room. Overall it was an ok experience(only because the doormen and cleaners were so nice), but they really need to work on the check-in/check-out process. I likely won't return to this location.

My husband and I have this great hotel on repeat… we have been here more than 15 times and the reason for this is the great service starting with the manager Michael; reception Jeuri and Natauris and Aronis at the bar… they are all very courteous; helpful and joyful. The bartenders and lifeguard are so nice. If you are looking for a place to feel spoiled. This is the place!!

Muy buen lugar, cerca de la vida nocturna, excelente!!!!

The property was really clean, close to multiple restaurants and the beach. The staff members are kind and welcoming

Hotel was nice and clean located in a place where you can walk to restaurants on the beach!

When I entered the bathroom, there was a pubic hair on the towel beside the sink. I know that sounds made up, but it is the truth. Other than that, the room seemed clean. The bed was incredibly hard and it was difficult to sleep. The room was right by the road and it was extremely loud with all the cars, motorcycles and associated honking.

Les chambres ne sont pas sur la plage, c est plutot le Ambassy qui l est. Donc on soit tranverser la rue principale tres bruyante pour acceder a la plage, cela n est pas clair dans la description de l hotel. Les chambres sont donc tres bruyante resultat des bruit incessant de la rue de cabarete. L hotel est par contre directement au centre ville, tres pret des bars et des restaurants. Le matin ils tondent le gazon a 8am , pas super. L hotel en general est propre , par contre lors de notre sejour , les femmes de menages essayaient de faire le menage de notre chambre a 8am , nous n tions pas pret et elles ne revenaient jamais donc notre chambre n a jamais ete nettoye meme pas les poubelles videes en 6 nuits, pas tres professionnel. Le service y est lent comme partout a Cabarete. La piscine est tres satisfaisante et la vue magnifique. Le prix de la chambre etait pas cher alors peut etre que le rapport qualite prix etait le bon ?? Mais je n y retournerais pas les defauts sur des choses de base etant trop importants

The location of the hotel is great but there’s a lot of street noise . At check in they charged us $US30 /night for an upgrade even if the hotel was empty and they had plenty of rooms unoccupied. And at check out they charged me $5 for a wine opener that was supposedly in the room and we never used. It was bittersweet to leave this way.

Right on the beach quick walk to restaurants and bars, always stay here. I love it.

I liked the cleanliness, wash clothes and soap were provided, the oceanside pool and restaurant had a fantastic view of the ocean and easy access to it. To have the room cleaned was $20 canadian. Coffee machine in the room but no coffee, so bring your own. Fridge kept things cold. My room was opposite the ocean side above the main street. It was very noisy, even with the patio door closed.

I booked 2 rooms back in 2018 and then booked 10 rooms in 2019. It was such a great ALL INCLUSIVE Resort, especially the pool side snack bar!!! Now its only the room and access to the pool. They offer food packages but we refused to pay $20 per person for eggs, toast and a cup of coffee. We walked for about 5 mins to a nearby spot and purchased pancakes, scrambled eggs with toast, Avocado toast with a bowl of fruits and two cups of coffee for only $16!!! I may return because we really like the accommodations (room was spacious and clean) but maybe admin will understand that they will continue to lose money if they don’t atleast include breakfast. Oh another downside was the noise from the traffic outside especially the motorcycles.

We had booked a garden view room but our balcony overlooked a very busy and noisy street. The pool snack and food restaurant was not open the entire week. Housekeeping services, including towel refresh were only available for an additional fee. The room itself was nice and clean and comfortable. Of the three restaurants advertised, only one was open at a given time. The only ice machine available was on the opposite side of the building, across the street, and down 3 flights.

I always love coming to Cabarete and staying in this hotel. Sad thing is that they are NOT all inclusive. But my husband and I eat at the surrounding restaurants and they are very tasty and affordable. The meal plans at This place is too expensive and they are Not as tasty

I think they should close this resort.Breakfast was good but the lunch and dinner horrible 😬😬 we had some kind of Parmesan chicken-absolutely disgusting and for dinner fish super old and smelling.They have this service-you have to pay to change the towels.Very noisy hotel,too much traffic,the toilets next to the bed ..no ventilation in the washroom 😚😚😚.I don’t think we will go back ever.

Great food

Quiet little spot, but couldn’t really enjoy because of construction going on. Nice pool and dinning options. Rooms were spacious and clean

Right on the beach quick walk to restaurants and bars, always stay here. I love it.

This property is outstanding. I actually stayed at the Imperial Suites on the beach, which is across from the Presidential Suites after 1 day. I loved the Imperial Suites very much. But the Beach view of the Imperial Suites convinced me to change the next day. But the Staff and the openness to everything was outstanding. I loved everything about this hotel. The food in the restaurant was just okay. It did not have a lot of offerings for my taste. But there are restaurants up and down the beach. I cannot say enough how safe I felt here. I felt safe enough that I slept with my balcony doors open throughout the night.
