I've stayed here many times and the rooms are always a little different. Most of the rooms have old TV 's and refrigerators. The walkway from the parking lot to the rooms is dark. The free breakfast is fair and the coffee is aweful. The staff are friendly and the rooms are very clean. Not worth $120/night; okay at $50/night.

Feb 12-26 ,a 2 week stay. Pros: Beautiful pool area, very friendly staff, well kept grounds with beautiful fauna , clean certified drinking water, delicious food at The Sunset Grill, with a complimentary delicious breakfast menu ( Tortilla omelette!! large spacious rooms and bathrooms, daily pool towel exchange ,large windows which opened,Amazon Prime worked for our one rainy day, convenient Janets Groceries was a 5 min walk down the street ( mini Walmart) AC worked , 7 min walk to the Cabarete beach front Cons: Large bed had a large wooden seating area all the way around, making it uncomfortable to get in and out of , rooms not soundproof, our standard King didn't have a balcony making it hard to enjoy the mornings more, or drying wet clothes ,CAREFUL of fire ants in the grass ( i was stung multiple times after the lawn was moved Very steep winding staircases to our 3 rd floor ( not mobile-friendly)No easy beach access.( dangerous & narrow cement “ path”without steps nor a railing ,limited seating at the Sunset Grill which locals & other resort guests also enjoyed , MANY local street vendors and beggars on the beach hounded us all day long even while at dinner. TIPS:transportation from airport is $40 USD to Velero.Visit Sosua ( we had an incredible meal at the Haitian beachfront restaurant). Walk to the Godess Restaurant, live music Fridays) great takeout pizza “Call A pizza” bring cooler pack to beach or reserve a suite with kitchen ENJOY!

This property is beachfront with great views from your room. The bathroom is upgraded which is nice . The shower is huge and the balcony is prefect for looking out and enjoying the view. They do not have room service as advertised. The food at the restaurant is okay. Breakfast is included but space can get filled up quickly, but you can always make a to go order. The staff are very nice.

We had a great stay and enjoyed the beautiful view and comfortable accommodations. The restaurant staff were attentive and professional and the food was delicious. We would not recommend families to come here as the crowd is a lot older and children will be limited in their enjoyment. Overall a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of this magical country.

It is a great place to stay we've stayed here before. The only problem with the resort is the lack of shade around the pool.

What a great find!! Ive seen Velero online before and it looked nice..so this time I booked as a 1 night stay over on my way to PP. I was delighted with this place! Its quiet and quaint (only 58 rooms) It has a beautiful, very clean pool, awesome restaurant (had dinner here both nights it was that good!) and because the hotel , pool, and restaurant are literally right on the water, the views were incredible. I believe every room has an ocean view! If you like a smaller, quieter, more intimate feel, this is the place. I liked it so much I extended my stay! I loved everything about this place and I will definitely be coming back here !

The view from our room was amazing! Loved seeing the kite surfers during the day and the sunset at night. The food at the restaurant was so good. We spent most of our time at the pool, but walked the few steps down to the beach and took a walk.

The Velero property itself is a refuge of luxury in an otherwise congested, loud, chaotic area. Cabarete was not impressive. The Velero's Pool area was fantastic! But they don't have a beach, and there's not much ground to explore. Also, the rooms were very nice! Spacious, and well-appointed. The staff were terrific too!

Showing its age, but very clean and delightful location on the sea. Restaurant were attentive and friendly. We arrived at 10:00 am and the front desk said our room would not be ready until 2. Fair enough except when I went back ten minutes later and asked if there was somewhere quiet where I could make a call they said we could have our room if we paid $30 extra. Not cool all....
