“Not what expected”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011

Not a bad property, simple rooms, no view other than the pool, a limited option to the all-inclusives, but nothing special. Unfortunately, we were treated very poorly - as if we were an inconvenience since our arrival and even when asking for the internet password and menus. Perhaps they were having a bad day, it was not a language barrier since I am fluent and a well-traveled , low-maintenace "tourist". This, along with the fact that this area (Dominicus) is not the true Bayahibe and is dedicated to the all-inclusive hotels bringing Europe to all the European tourists (who crossed the Atlantic to eat italian), and where finding local food is a miracle, convinced me to leave after just an hour. Ended up in Bayahibe (3km west) where I spent 12 wonderful days enjoying the true DR in Hotel Bayahibe and diving with Scuba Fun.

Very friendly staff with a smile that you get from family. The rooms are very reasonable and the location is good for shopping and walks to the beach.

“Friendly, nice option if you want to avoid all-inclusives”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

Bayahibe is a beautiful area but almost completely taken over by all-inclusive resorts. The town is small with huge walls blocking out most of the beachfront. Cabanas Elke is a nice option to be near this lovely beach without being in such a resort. It is a short walk to the small public beach and they provide bikes if you like. The rooms are clean and large but the acoustics are not great, especially if someone is using the bathroom upstairs. Maybe the upstairs rooms are better in this aspect. (Sounded like buckets of water falling down) There is cable TV, a large bed, a swimming pool, free wifi in the lobby area and they provide bottled water every day. The staff is friendly and courteous (though not much English--it helps if you know Italian or Spanish) and their restaurant is pretty good too, with fresh lobsters and pizzas!
