Velero Beach Resort Review

Laze in the hammock or swing on the palm that bends over the beach while you watch the kite surfers work to become airborne, and you'll appreciate Velero's location, just a few minutes' walk east of the noise of town yet also just minutes from the happening bars. (It's across a small path from Hotel El Magnifico). Spacious suites with full kitchens are the best deals; the basic unit has two full bedrooms, but room dividers can turn one larger unit into two smaller ones. Guests in standard rooms (without kitchens) get a complimentary breakfast at the private beach restaurant. You might ask for the art deco Building 111, which has all been repainted. The views from the penthouses are knockout, and an excellent value if three couples share. Ask about the 10% discount for cash.

    I have traveled far and wide but seldom have I ever encountered such a tranquil and lovely setting as Velero Beach Resort. I stumbled across the place mostly because TripAdvisor had it rated do highly. Now I know why.

    The resort is really a condo/hotel nestled right on the crescent tip of the Cabarete beach. The location is perfect because you are close enough to enjoy the nightlife without having to contend with its constant musical bombardment. You can exercise on the beach (they have a yoga lady), hang in a hammock, nosh at the beach club and never have to leave the premises.

    I will definitely be back to Velero Beach Resort and recommend it highly to anyone, travel savvy or newbie, who is trekking along the north coast of the Dominican Republic.
