Email & Telephone service:
There are several phone centers and Internet Cafes in Cabarete where you can make international calls, faxes, and email. You may also be able to make and receive calls and faxes from your hotel's front desk. Telephone credit cards may not be usable. You may pay in pesos for your call or call collect.

Meals:
There are a number of interesting restaurants along the beach in Cabarete. Be adventurous with common sense; ask our staff for recommendations and locations. Here's a list of restaurants we've personally tried and found to be very good:

  • Las Brisas: Good breakfast and everything from burgers to fine food; great all you can eat mexican buffet each week
  • Lax: From Suhi to fried calamare salad, with great pizzas - this trendy restaurant is definitively a place not to be missed.
  • Toma La Luna: Fine dining with new specials every day. Staff's favorite restaurant.
  • Pitu's: Mexican Food with Fajitas and breakfast until late afternoon.
  • Tiki Bar: great bar and popular social spot.
  • La Casita: the best place to eat fresh shrimp with a garlic sauce (your partner better share!) it all comes on one big plate and smells and looks wonderful!
  • Vento's: great Italian food (no pizzas) from pasta to fish dishes, one of the best meat meals in Cabarete - not to be missed.
  • Onno's: the In-place of Cabarete, from burgers to fish, meat, etc. also has occasional buffets. After dinner - good music and great people at the bar.
  • Tribal Cafe: Just next to Onno's - best Pizzas in town!!!
  • Mercedes: Very typical Dominican Restaurant (not at beach) ask our staff for its location.

Health:
We recommend that you only drink bottled water in the Dominican Republic. Even though the hotels typically wash foods in purified water, be as cautious as you would be in any third world country. To allow yourself to adjust to the different food and water and to avoid getting sick, don’t further tax your system by exhausting yourself the first day or by drinking too much alcohol! If concerned, consult your physician before leaving home.
