    Hotel Magnifico, Cabarete 2013

    I had a recent stay at Hotel El Magnifico in Cabarete and thought I'd share. The "hotel" is not really in the true sense of the word, but is more like apartments or condos. It is located on the east end of Cabarete and not far from the main attractions of the area. The beach and primary downtown area were no more than a five minute walk. The accomodations were above par (imo), clean, and high on the list for an additional stay should I decide to do so again.


    It equals my only other overnight stay in the area at Ocean Dream.

    I searched here based on thread title and only found a couple........lacking info on the accomodations. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads with pictures buried deep within. The one's I found were somewhat dated.

    They have a few options in regards to number of bedrooms and may not be for the extreme budget minded traveler. Most of us know that price can vary depending on the time of travel during the year......and Cabarete costs a little more than other adjacent areas.

    I rented a two bedroom unit. Very nice and would do it again....... It has nice potential, whether with the pick of the night........or with a favorita.



    The approach to the unit.









    It had a nice porch as well.

    The main bedroom had a nice set of sliding doors for privacy......should you choose.












    "Open says me"











    It was perfect and had a different feel to it....

    There are six units there iirc and each had at least three floors. Each with a very similiar set up.









    i had the first floor, unfortunately. There are a set of double (lockable) doors leading into the second bedroom. This is how they rent out a one room "hotel" type accomodation, or convert it easily into a two bedroom unit complete with living room and kitchen.

















    This room came complete with it's own porch as well.

    The front porch area was perfect......

    The grounds were immaculate. It was generally quiet other than hearing the ocean pounding away at the shore.

















    It was only a 10 second walk down to the local beach.

    The main pool. It was used on occasion by several of the guests. I didn't quite make that trip though.

    The people running the place were very hospitable and accomodating to any needs. No complaints from my dealings with them at all. In fact, a small glass shelf was broken while I was there. I let them know upon check out and after some discussion with the owner, I was on my way. I have yet to see an additional charge.


    The main office/ reception area is right off the main pool.










    The view in the morning was very pleasing to the eyes.










    Right of the side of the porch, as well.

    I stayed in Maganifico a couple of times back in 2008/2009. Created reports with pics as well. Very nice place and would stay here again if I ever stay in Cabarete again which is doubtful since I found the villas in Sosua. I think there was a $10 or $20 charge to bring in chicas though. Besides that it was a great place to stay.

    Daily maid service was part of the package. In fact, they worked great in accommodating my sleep schedule.

    I had a parent with me who's never been out of the country, so I didn't partake in any activities on site.

    I spoke with the "head" security guy there on a few occasions and he told me there was no issue or financial exchange needed. He did mention to be a little low key about it.


    I did see a few mismatched couples while staying there. I'll stay there again in the future.

    Thanks for the pics.. I've wanted to try this place but some of the previous reports mentioned a family atmosphere and frowning on bringing girls back (and an extra charge) and left the impression that it might not have a good feel in that regards. Was you impression different? How was bringing back guests?

    Thanks. It is a little more low key, but not an issue from what I was told and what I saw. (See above)
