Happy Hour in Cabarete.
The guests and staff here at eXtreme Hotel tend to be very social. After a great day of kitesurfing we like to get together and head into Cabarete for dinner around 8pm. After dinner for those who would like to go out for the evening it’s time to get your drink on and enjoy Happy Hour before dancing and more drinking. If you know the circuit, there is almost always somewhere you can go to get good valued drinks that will help you enjoy the Cabarete nightlife even more. One of the first places people will go to is Bozo’s liquer store following dinner. There you ca buy three Brahma grandes for 100 pesos. Sit outside at the tables or get a game of flip cup or beer pong going. There is also the famous ring-on-a-string game that is so addictive. The main strip of bars are located right on Bozo Beach in Cabarete Bay with tables, chairs and bean bags available for lounging and drinking right on the sand where you can socialize or simply listen to the sound of the waves. Between 3-7pm, Jose O’Shay’s Irish pub has all you can drink beer for 250 pesos. Voy Voy offers 200 peso pitchers of their amazing Mojitos between 7-11pm. This is a great way to get warmed up prior to Karaoke on Monday nights. Between 11pm-12am you have a couple of different options. You can go to Onnos where they offer five different kinds of pitchers for between 200-300 pesos. Your other choice is to go to Kahuna for their power hour where it’s 3 for 1 cuba and santo libres for 100 pesos. The bar Lax has several great specials all night long. From 10-11pm you can get 50 peso cuba and santo libres. From 11pm-12am are the shot specials. Your choices are several gringas or cocolocos for 100 pesos. 12pm-1am offers you banana daiquiries for 200 pesos or the ever dangerous chilled vodka/redbull pitchers. This will give you six large cupfulls for 300 pesos. Great for sharing! If you’ve ever read an article in a kiteboarding magazine regarding the Cabarete nightlife, then you’ve surely heard of the infamous Blue Bar. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall bar that’s painted blue. Don’t let it’s appearance fool you, the strongest drinks in town are here as well as the least expensive beers. Presidente is the beer of choice and a pequena (small) is 60 pesos. The grande (large) is 80 pesos. Their famous cuba and santo libres are 70 pesos, come in a large cup and are 95% rum with a splash of Coke or Sprite for flavour. At Blue Bar, it’s happy hour all night long! Once you’ve had a few drinks and are feeling the music, most of the bars have a dance floor where you can dance the night away and meet new people. Three of the most popular places to go to dance are Lax, Bambu and Onnos. Most bars close at 3am. If you’re still feeling the need to continue dancing and drinking, the Cabarete Casino on Friday and Saturday nights has a nightclub that remains open until sunrise. There is a 100 pesos entrance fee. If a vibrant nightlife is one of the things you are looking for on your kitesurfing vacation, then Cabarete has what you’re looking for!

Cabarete Kiteboarding Vacation Eco tours
This week before heading out on the waters of Kitebeach, Cabarete to kiteboard, a group of guests from eXtreme Hotel took the opportunity to seek other adventures while on their kitesurfing vacation. After renting a car in Cabarete and packing a cooler with a picnic lunch and some beer, the guests headed out on an exciting eco-tour to the Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is an unfrequented location of untouched beauty, nestled under the canopy of the forest in the foothills a little outside of the town of Cabarete, here in the Dominican Republic. Cool, refreshing spring water awaits your swimming pleasure. For the thrill seeking, you can climb up the cliff, grab hold of the rope swing and launch yourself over 50 feet into the air before splashing down in the bottomless depths of the lagoon. If you find the swing a little too intimidating, you can simply climb up the wall as high as you like and jump in the water from there. If you remember to bring a headlamp or flashlight, there are also limestone caves for you to explore, with some amazing stalactite and stalagmite formations inside. This location allows you the opportunity to explore some of the unique geology surrounding Cabarete. After enjoying what the Blue Lagoon had to offer, the eXtreme Hotel guests returned to Kitebeach in time to catch an afternoon kitesurfing session out on the water. Come live the dream in Cabarete and experience the ultimate kiteboarding vacation at eXtreme Hotel where you can experience a lifestyle like no other.

Not your average vacation destination.
Sunday night wrapped up another great week here at eXtreme Hotel in Cabarete. It was also the final day of the 2nd annual Kiteboarding 4 Kids fundraising competition. Following another great afternoon kiteboarding session on kite beach and Bozo beach, the awards ceremony and closing dinner was held at Bambu restaurant in Cabarete bay. There were tons of prizes given away, including Slingshot Fuel kites, Dakine harnessess and a whole slew of others. Cosmic Kite Lounge’s own Joel Mendoza came back with both a first and third prize. The fundraiser was a great success with over $20,000 US raised for local kids charities. It was an enjoyable week for those here on kitesurfing vacations, or here just to relaxand get away from it all. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, you always make new friends during your stay with us. This week saw tons of sun, afternoon/evening kiteboarding sessions and lots of beach volleyball. Plenty of people on vacation were also taking advantage of the healthy lifestyle by jogging along or swimming in the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. There is also the MiGym on site at the hotel with tons of great classes including yoga and spinning. Monday through Friday also sees evening Ju Jitsu classes in the mixed martial arts school. Surfing most mornings at Ecuentro Beach is a great way to start the day, and with the whales on migration it is not unusual this time of year to see them swim past, playing and breaching just a short distance from your board. Also this week, many of the eXteme Hotel guests toook a break from their kiteboarding holiday and went on an ecotour to the Cabarete Caves where cool, refreshing freshwater filled caves invite you in for a swim. Every week there is something going on. This is not your average kitesurfing vacation destination.
