First of all let me update everyone on the kitchen situation. The kitchen is indeed available for guest use. We cooked a few meals there. It was never too crowded that we had to wait to cook or anything like that. The hostel itself is very spacious and has nice amenities (pool table, books and DVDs available, pool, etc). It's... More

The staff here is great! They will help you with ANYTHING you need. Just ask them, and do not hesitate. They are the nicest staff I have ever seen at a Hostel/Hotel. You have an Italian couple who cooks the best food I've eaten in Dominican Republic. You have a gym by the pool, and all the walls are painted... More

Laguna Park is clearly going down hill fast (as someone who has stayed here two consecutive years). The kitchen where fellow travelers could once gather and cook affordable meals is NOW GONE, so plan on paying true tourist prices at their new restaurant NOT for the hosteler/budget traveler. If you have a problem in your room, don't expect to get... More

This is by far the best place I've stayed in while visiting Cabarete. I'm dominican, so I've had my share of stays in different hotels, none of them beat the atmosphere in Laguna Park. Clean, colorful, comfortable. I LOVED the design and the idea of staying in a tiny castle. I think one of the best things from this place... More

I came into Cabarete not knowing where to stay and to my good luck I found Laguna Park. I am from California, a surfer in my late 50s and traveling solo. The rates, the staff and the accommodations are great! Laguna is located in a gated community that makes it very peaceful and quiet with no traffic. The walk or... More

This was my first stay ever at a hostel. And it is truly the benchmark for any hostel I will stay-in in the future. Although I was the oldest person there, I never felt out of place. No one was within 15 years of my age. We all hit it off so well, we were grocery shopping together and cooking... More

I really had a great stay at El Castillo. The hostel itself is VERY clean, from the pool and the rooms to the bathrooms and kitchen. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils/pots/pans. The common area is welcoming with the couches, chairs, t.v., table, snack bar, WiFi. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Sabrina is a wonderful host, just a... More

Actually I am laying in my hammock of the balcony of my room, watching the nature. "El Castillo" is a place you will love. In the middle of the laguna, but not far away of the town and beach. Pretty new rooms, cool designed, very clean, a gentle management which attends directly. They already force new ideas to make the... More

I was just satisfied. The price is amazing, the staff really nice and the place beautiful!
