Very good choice in case you do not want to stay in the hotel. This place has a specific atmosphere, some things are little bit older and they should be repaired but it s really cool place to hang out in the middle of palms, flowers and beautiful garden not far from busy beach and centre of the town. It s not a hotel, but a very nice place with the stylish dominican accomodation. 

I was expected terrible things but it was amazing on the end!

The old manager Antonio no longer works here.
Beautiful place with different rooms for every budget. Great restraunt with friendly staff. Very relaxing vibe and a great atmosphere. Walking distance to the beach and Cabarete's restaurants and shops.

New management - loved it!

The restaurant Aly's Surfcamp is very well known in Cabarete for its great food and beautiful location. At night Aly's lights up with colorful florescent lights and the sounds of frogs croaking in the swamp. During the day kids love to explore in the lake and look for fish and turtles. Great place to watch the sunset. Incredible food and beautiful scenery.

One of the best dinner date spots in Cabarete

Love this place every time i go! Unique atmosphere, food is always delicious and i especially love the laod back relaxed delivery... so if your not rushed... this is a fantastic place to go, relax ans enjoy!

Best Churasco in Cabarete

The place is quiet and secluded nestled amongst a beautiful setting of trees and plants. Food at the restaurant is reasonably priced and top notch. Rooms were clean with fresh towels everyday. Our place had a kitchenette with the basics to get by for breakfast and simple meals. Pool was nice and refreshing after a long day in the sun. Wifi was a touch spotty but my kids were able to watch YouTube shows without too much buffering. Only downfalls were the beds were not too comfortable, a/c was set at 17c but you couldn’t tell it was on. The ceiling fans worked great to keep you comfortable enough. Do plenty of research and you will be able to get by no problem. The area was safe and the complex was too. We never used our safe and had left money and computers behind with no issues and didn’t use the safe. We used a taxi the whole time and truthfully if you are not great at dealing with crazy drivers you will not want to drive. The motorcycles/mopeds are like mosquitos swarming around you as you drive. It’s a short walk to everything you could need we had no issues with being taken advantage of as tourists. The mosquitos were not always an issue but they are there and some days are worse than others. Robbie who does the surfing down at Encuentro was a super friendly guy and the vibe at that beach was super chill and had a place to get good eats and cold presidentes. Too many good places nearby to eat at in town some more reasonable then others but nothing was too expensive enjoy your trip there it is easy to do! Oh and there’s plenty of dogs around😁

All around good

My husband and I spent three nights at the surf camp for the beginning of our honeymoon. The surf camp is perfect for travelers and couples looking for a quiet and unique spot. It’s off the main strip (about a 5 minute walk back to the action). We stayed in the river house which was adorable. The only downside was it was loud walking around (another couple was next to us and we could hear each other easily). We loved the outdoor kitchen and pool area. The restaurant onsite is also a great spot and was cheaper than anything you’d get in town. Lastly we rented boards from them and saved some money! Antonio is the main guy who helped us and he was awesome! We will be back! 

Rustic and beautiful 

What we did?  Semi- Private Surf Lesson + Rentals 

The surf instructors were incredible but Antonio not so much.  We interacted with Robby, who was awesome but the other guys working there were also great, friendly, spoke english and very helpful. They gave us recommendations as beginner surfers for each morning, which was hugely appreciated. You’ll feel well taken care of here! We enjoyed this experience from beginning to end! Our instructor Robby was great! We had the freedom to continue surfing after our lesson.    

You found Antonio to be there for the business side of things and it was obvious he invested his time mostly in the larger groups. What bothered me the most about the interaction with Antonio was that his website says 15$ for a rental , but when speaking to Antonio he said it was 20$ and only 15$ if you committed to multiple rentals. It would have been nice to know this in advance and to have the website reflect this. 

NOTE: if you’re staying in Cabarete this place provides a complimentary shuttle to Encuentro Beach (where you surf) from Cabarete.

Great Surf Instructors! ! Fun Times in the Sunshine!

Ok, don't know exactly how to review this stay. I'll try to make it simple- the "host" is rude, as stated by many others who have reviewed here. Yes, the place is inexpensive but that is not in my opinion a reason to treat guests with no respect/no hospitality.  We were put in 2 different rooms that were incorrect before we got the room we had paid for. The safe didn't work, took 2 days to get a working safe- and after the reviews I read here about theft I was really uncomfortable with that- especially because our entire vacation $ was in cash since not many businesses take credit. Our A/C broke for a few days too..so you get the picture.. just lots of little things add up to a lot- and seriously if the host (Antonio) had acted in any way hospitable or caring it wouldn't have bothered me.  Instead he had his head buried in his cell phone texting or on his computer screen whenever we needed to catch up about something. To top the whole thing off he told me he had our apartment rented and that we had our days wrong for when we were supposed to be out- I assured him that was incorrect and found my receipt to prove it.  He acted agitated and aggressive about this as if it were my fault.  I wondered if our things would be there when we got back.  In the end he said it was his mistake but not after treating us as if it were our problem and concern.  There are lots of dogs about - I am a dog lover so it didn't really bother me but one night my husband went out on our porch and one of the dogs came out of nowhere and charged him snarling/growling-if dogs worry you, do not stay here. There is no one apparent to help with these situatations.  
Ok- now for the good- the other guests... we had such a great time getting to know other travelers from all over the world, of all ages.  Sitting around the pool after a morning of surfing or exploring was really fun.  The restaurant is very good and our experience with the people who ran it/worked there was very good. They were very polite and helpful! The smoking in the restaurant can be a problem though as seats are close together and it can be difficult to sit somewhere that smoke isn't making it's way to you. 
Pro Cab felt like a very safe neighborhood, there is lots of security around, at all hours.  They are very friendly folks and are obviously keeping an eye on things. It is also relatively quiet- no loud bars nearby etc. but the other side of that is that you have to walk 5-10 minutes to the beach/other restaurants/stores etc. We got a lot of exercise doing that but would not say that is a negative- we liked the walking a lot (within ProCab) and also the beach.

mixed review

The good, the bad and the ugly!

The Good - Great place with cool extras like a picturesque lake, a two level yoga studio, hammocks, a pool, and daily excursions.

The Bad - Island time can be irksome when booking appointments.  The appointed time is never the appointed time. Internet was available in about a 15 foot radius around the reception office... and nowhere else. A large group dominated the common area TV and rest area nightly.

The Ugly - This camp seems to cater to large groups, all of whom are given preferential treatment over other travelers. I purchased the 'breakfast' and 'dinner' deal... was always served last even when seated first - waits over an hour for food were not uncommon.  One night the 'group' got ribs, and my son and I got leftovers from two nights previous.  If you want to work on your Czech, or Slovakian, or Russian... this is a great place to go.  If you want to work on your Spanish and/or be treated equally with the other guests -  you should probably go somewhere else.

Went to the DR to surf, cascade and kite surf.

A local language school arranged the accommodation, so I pre-paid for 28 nights. However, on arrival, it was clearly sub-par, even by DR standards, so I immediately requested a better room. After three nights I was given an acceptable Studio (which would have overlooked the pool IF there had been windows overlooking said pool!! Instead there was a nice little entrance patio that overlooked..... a wall).
After about 11 days I was told I would have to move back into the original sub-par room as the studio had been booked. I declined and asked for a different studio. That request was declined, so I gave notice I would be leaving after 13 nights.
THE MANAGER & THE OWNER BOTH REFUSED TO RETURN 15 PRE-PAID NIGHTS' ACCOMMODATION.
THEY KEPT C$277 OF MY DEPOSIT!
DO NOT STAY HERE!

On the plus side, the restaurant is very popular though expensive by DR standards, and the location is good - only a 5-minute walk from Cabarete town centre and the main beach.
