Hooked Cabarete

Babette the keeper was superb. Went out of her ways to make our stay perfect. Everything we needed she made happen in the most kind and friendly way. And rhe property was beutiful. 6/5 for everything.

Hooked Cabarete was an experience our group will never forget! The staff at Hooked is top notch, the property is secure, the beach is a close walk, and the atmosphere will surpass your expectations. **STAFF** The staff made our stay! Our host Babette made sure to answer any and all questions prior to our trip and was always around for help/advice during our stay. Babette was always easy to find on the property and made sure all guest were having a great stay. Babette and her staff welcomed us like family! Marie was great, she was always around to help, whether it was a trip to reload on groceries or tips on night life. Marie is full of info and great to talk to. If your looking for a message, a yoga class, or dance lessons she is your girl! Chepe (spelling?) ran the surf camp. This was a surf trip for us, and 2 members of our group rented instead of bringing their boards. Chepe will hook you up with the right boards whether your a beginner or experienced surfer. There are many high performance options in his collection. The maids were great and cleaned the place whenever needed. Samuel, the security guard is the man! He is staffed 6pm-6am daily. If your going out at night Samuel is always there to greet you at the door. If we took a taxi at night we would spend our time waiting talking to Samuel and cracking jokes with him. He is a great dude to talk to and was a huge plus to our stay at hooked. **LOCATION** Hooked Cabarete is about a 5-10 minute walk to Encuentro Beach. Encuentro is said to be the most consistent surf spot in Dominican Republic. We had about 8 days of great surf during our 10 day stay (January 2019). There are multiple spots to choose from on Encuentro's stretch of beach. Plenty of options for rights or lefts. Hooked Cabarete is in a very quite part of town, a quick cab or moto-taxi ride will get you downtown in less then 10 minutes. Hooked is quiet so be sure to save your energy for downtown!

Nothing!

Hooked is a beautiful place to stay and the staff were wonderful! I was close to the beach and was able to attend a yoga class and get a massage. The staff took me into town to get groceries so I could cook during my stay. I will definitely stay again and would recommend this to any traveler!

Babette the property manager is an angel. She took care of me and my friends from the beginning, she scheduled a pickup ride for us from the airport to the hotel. It was my birthday weekend and she treated me with a bottle of rum which is a very nice gesture. Marie, her assistant isn’t less of help than Babette, she took us a numerous times for grocery shopping and showing us the hotspots in town. As for the property, very clean property with nice rooms and a nice swimming pool that gets cleaned everyday. If you’re a surfer, then this a surfing haven as the surfing beach is 10 mins walking distance from the property. If you want a mellow, just-sit down beach then you’d need a car or a cab ride to Cabarete or Sosua beaches. Very statisfied with my stay and if I’m again visiting puerto plata I would definitely come back here. 10/10

Nothing, everything is perfect

Very nice and helpful staff. Lovely place.
