Terrible
Mosquito central, roaches everywhere, and rats running through the yard. The noise levels are already ridiculous as the house is located right by a stretch of road with block parties, loud motorcycles, and cars constantly going by. If that wasn’t bad enough the owners are two of the rudest people you’ll ever come across. Avoid this place like the plague! Much nicer places to stay in Cabarete for cheaper or the same price.
