“Cabarete's BEST Beach Pad”

The location and hotel were great, but the people made it even better! The personalized service was outstanding. It's a short ride to the restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It's safe, nothing to worry about. We're definitely going back with the family! Really recommend this small beach pad. Overall my husband and I were satisfied!

“Peaceful Beauty”

I absolutely loved the Bare Foot Beach pad. It is not right in the center of town which was great for peace and quiet. It is a simple, clean, private, and beautiful place. The staff was friendly and welcoming and it quickly felt like a second home. Breakfast was delivered each morning as I watched the sunrise over the ocean. Wonderful!

“Can't wait to go back”

We had a perfect stay at Barefoot Beach Pad. I love the location, right on the beach and a little away from Cabarete. The breakfast was very good, the pool is very clean. Hector, the owner was very helpful and a very nice guy. I realy want to go back with my kids.

“Fun in the sun... wish we stayed longer”

My sister is a flight attendant so we went for a quick 3 night stay. We just emailed Hector and he set up a $25 shuttle for us. We went horseback riding... sat by the pool and swam in the ocean. We ate our meals at the hotel as we were too lazy to venture out (next time!). We will be going back!

“Recommended +++”

We stayed 5 days in 2 rooms, as expected, at a very good price. Very friendly staff. Very nice place. Would recommend for a quiet stay.

“Family oriented accomodation”

The manager, Hector, replied quickly to all our question via email, picked us at the airport which is way cheaper then a taxi cost, provided us with all the info about the town and was very helpful with everything. He's fluent in English and Spanish, which is really convenient for non-Spanish speaking people. The hotel's location is in the end of the town on the beach, which was really quiet, clean and family oriented. Breakfast was included (delicious smoothies, coffee and pastries or fruits). Cabarete has a variety of restaurants and cafes for your lunch and dinner, which is about 30 min walking. You could rent a car or a motorcycle. Town has lots of Currency Exchange places which have better rates than at the airport. If you don't like all-inclusive it's the best way to go.

“A little oasis”

This is a simple, very clean and quiet spot. The hotel is small with just ten rooms and a pool. That means personalized and attentive service, but no luxury, no frills. One small thing: our room was very spacious, but there was no chair, dresser, or table to put stuff down. It did have a large closet and bedside tables, but could have used more 'surfaces. We were there at the end of August, so there was virtually no one there. I liked that we were given beach towels. The hotel is right on the beach, the surf is a little rough, but manageable if you like waves. I played for a long time in the sea, which was delicious. Only sand, no stones. Since there was no shade, we couldn't stay very long on the beach and would go back to the hotel to rinse, swim in the pool, lie down or sleep. When we were up for it, we'd take a taxi into town (Cabarete) for dinner and walked back on the beach at night. It felt very safe. We were there only for a few days, and we loved it.

“I found a gem”

This place is a gem. If you're looking for a quiet, laid back, beachfront hotel/B&B, then Barefoot Beach Pad is for you. This smaill hotel is only a few years old, the rooms are clean, simple and comfortable, and the grounds immaculately maintained. Homemade breakfast at the poolside bar every morning, beer and soda in the afternoon. Far enough away from town to to feel private, yet a quick scooter cab ride (or walk on the beach) to beachfront bars and resturaunts. The manager Hector (born in the Dominican, grew up and lived in the US, retired back to the Dominican...his family owns the place) was great...almost like a personal concierge. I've stayed in touch with Hector, and can't wait to return. I usually don't rave, but I truly loved this place.
