Testimonials

“Ideal place to book for a private group. On the best part of kite beach (where it’s still a safe water entry but less crowded). Great team, great healthy food, all around loved it. Thank you!”

“Extreme Hotels was exactly what I was looking for and didn’t know I’d finally find. I’m a young remote worker who enjoys traveling while working. This hotel provided the perfect space for me to do that. Not only was I able to work peacefully, but I also took full advantage of every morning and evening. I got excited about the morning gym workouts and enjoyed the sea and the sun in the afternoons.Thanks to the staff for being so kind—I have the best memories!Simple, healthy, and most importantly, super safe. I felt right at home.”

“Una opción distinta de alojamiento en Cabarete, ideal para nómadas digitales y gente que busca una manera de hospedarse más consciente y que genere un menor impacto en el ambiente. Es un lugar muy tranquilo ubicado frente al mar con acceso directo a la playa, perfecto si quieres cuidarte, descansar y reconectar contigo. Puedes practicar yoga por tu cuenta o hacer yin yoga clases por la tarde. El yoga deck tiene unas vistas espectaculares. También tiene un buen gimnasio con mucho equipamiento pero el material esta bastante oxidado por el efecto del mar. En el precio tienes incluido desayuno, comida y cena, todo vegano/vegetariano. La comida está buena, pero he echado de menos mas fuentes de proteína vegetal. Las habitaciones son sencillas, pero grandes y cuentan con balcón con vista al jardín. El wifi funciona bien en las habitaciones, pero no tan bien en las zonas comunes. Como aspectos a mejorar, creo que hace falta mas mantenimiento de las instalaciones y las habitaciones. También mejoraría un poco el planning de las comidas y ofrecería un desayuno un poco mas elaborado.

PD: no suele alojarse mucha gente a la vez, así que no esperes el ambiente de un hostel!”

“While most resorts and hotels refer to their customers as guests, few truly make you feel like one. Extreme Hotel far exceeded our expectations in this category. The owner and the staff were beyond kind, so unbelievably helpful, and made us feel very welcome. It was more like staying with family or friends.

We were there for a week-long Yoga Retreat with a group of 13. Extreme Hotel ensured that our transportation to and from the airport was arranged and a member of the staff was there both to greet us at the entrance and to see us off as we left. And throughout our entire trip, they were happy to arrange transportation, excursions, and anything else we needed.

The vegetarian meals were made daily, and consisted of fresh ingredients that were partially grown and gathered on-site, and partially locally and responsibly sourced. Our endless supply of hardboiled eggs came from the sweet chickens that live on the grounds, and who roam free for part of the day. Other delectable breakfast options were the amazing assortment of fresh fruit, oatmeal, and a beautiful beverage station which included coffee, tea, and delicious smoothies. It was an at-your-convenience setup, too – accommodating the early risers and those wishing to sleep in.

Our buffet-style dinners were amazing each night and we always had plenty of fresh, healthy, and satiating options. There were leftovers every night and we had access to them, should we be hungry later on or be out and about during the scheduled dinner time.

There was an abundance of fresh drinking water jugs, and they were kept fully stocked in the beachfront dining area, the gym, and the individual rooms.

Each room was clean, decorated nicely, and had a mini-fridge for convenience. They also each had a private balcony with nice wooden chairs and beautiful views.

The gym was well-equipped, airy, and open 24/7. While we didn’t utilize the personal trainers during our stay, we got to know them personally, and spoke to a long-term guest who did use them and raved about their sessions.

The Yoga Loft is to die for! The views cannot be beaten and it was for our private use throughout the week.

The beautiful, partially-shaded saltwater pool was a refreshing retreat from the sun and the surrounding area was so inviting with plenty of comfortable loungers.

There was no public access to the hotel grounds, which made it feel so safe and secure. We had all of the beauty and accessibility of the larger beachfront hotels, but the peace and quiet security of a private home.

Ultimately we loved our experience SO MUCH, we didn’t want to leave! So when the rest of our group left after the retreat, my boyfriend and I stayed for 2 more days! The owner was amazing at quickly arranging for our extended stay and travel needs. We then got to experience the daily yoga classes and other private guest amenities.

We can’t recommend this place highly enough and will certainly be back!”

“We had an incredible week at the hotel. The location is perfect for kiteboarding—just a short walk to the beach. My son, who doesn’t kiteboard, loved taking walks along the beach in the mornings and practicing yoga. Nice place to go along with my son as I was able to enjoy kiteboarding, knowing that my child was in a safe place. It’s the ideal spot for both relaxation and activity!”
