Hi Donna,

      Compared to most places in the world, all of the accomodations in 
Cabarete are cheap.  It all really depends on how spartan you would 
like to go.  For instance, the place that I like the best for me 
travelling alone is specifically room #7 at the Casa de Sans Souci, 
it's the room that overlooks Cabarete Bay on the second floor.  It is 
somewhat spartan in many respects, a ceiling fan directly above a big 
bed (with a somewhat thinnish mattress), simple furniture including two 
chairs, a small table, a tiny kitchenette with a refrigerator, and a 
bathroom that was adequate (sometimes there was no hot water).  All 
this for $30/day!  The best part was waking and falling asleep to the 
small shorebreak 75 feet away!

      The last place I stayed at, The Palm Beach Hotel, was really the 
nicest, but only as far as amenities are concerned.  The kitchen was 
fully stocked, complete with a fruit basket, the air conditioning was 
wonderful (not needed in the wintertime!), and all the other features 
of the room were great.  Although I was staying in the adjoining 
building across from the main building directly on the beach, Richard 
Amoils (on our list) was staying in the main area of the condominiums 
with his family, and overlooked the beach and garden area, complete 
with a small but decent sized pool.  I think the room I was staying in 
retails at Vela for about $90/night.

      Carl on the other hand, stays at the Albatros Hotel, and I've 
stayed there many times, too (but not recently).  It's a little off the 
main road, about 200 yards from the edge of town and set back from the 
street (often quiet!).  There's no ocean view, but they do have a nice 
pool, and the rooms are quite adequate.  Carl likes the place because 
he can cut a nice deal and stays for an entire month.
      
      The best place I've stayed at was the Sun & Surf hotel, but it was 
a special deal about 5 years ago.  Great room, A/C, Cable, full buffet 
breakfast, pool but no view for $25/night!  I don't think you can come 
by this deal anytime soon, but it was fun while it lasted in the summer 
of 1997.

      Overall, I think your best bet, is to email Vela in Cabarete 
directly at:  vela.cabarete@codetel.net.do
Just let them know specifically what dates you have in mind, and 
they'll set you up, complete with an equipment package.  Address your 
inquiry to Udo Jansen and tell him that I sent you!
