Fantastic small place, great service. Although is away from the main road and the beach, it is only a 10 minute walk to one of the nicest empty beach in the area.
The contact with the owners and employees is key the facilitate everything.
Good breakfast and beautiful garden with a natural lake.

My stay at Kibayo was incredible from start to finish. This is place can only be described as a sanctuary, because thatâs how it felt calm, beautiful, and peaceful. The staff are wonderfully warm and super helpful, the food is amazing. I will definitely be coming back and I encourage anyone thinking about staying at this place to do it!!!

I loved this quiet cozy haven. The decor is very boho cute, and you're surrounded by a lagoon with lots of birds. We enjoyed hanging by the pool, using the communal kitchen and the staff on site had great recommendations.

Kibayo made me remember the times I use to stay in my grandparents country side in the Dominican Republic, Ramona was the best service and the young lady after Ramona I forgot her name . But Kibayo is a place to relax and if you want to experience the quitenes and nature and fun activities Kibayo is it. The owner tia I i believe was his name and macho were very nice too very heart warming.

What a delightful place! It is tucked at the end of a street that doesnât look all that great, but enter through the gate and you are in a beautiful oasis. The rooms are lovely, the grounds are beautiful, and the breakfast was an extra bonus. I absolutely loved this place and Dani, was amazing to communicate with and so helpful. And, I loved the kayaks on the river/lagoon right at the edge of the property!

Amazing spot in Cabarete! Beautiful patio and rooms. The only downsize is the location. But if you have a car, it should not be a problem.

Excellent. We had a rental car so it made everything really easy. Quiet location away from the loud street. Everything was a 5 min drive. Lots of effort is put in by the owners of the property so that you have a nice experience. Breakfast and coffee prepared every morning. Tons of refrigerator space in the shared kitchen area. Comfortable beds and pillows. Secure gated parking. Great community and communication with property owners. Perfect spot for. Surf or kite vacation. Grocery markets and gas stations nearby.
The rooms are great. Whats not great is that there is no staff. No reception, no bar, no restaurant. NOTHING. They leave the key for you. So its basically like renting an AirBnB but disguised as a hotel. Definite value for the quality of the room byt if you like hotel service and amenities than this is not the place for you

If youâre going here for the description or the advertising- DONT! It is indeed very misleading this is not a high end retreat place , more like a dormitory/ hostel vibes. The promised 3 minutes walk beach you canât bath in, rooms are outdated poorly lit and with stained walls. My 1st room was very worrisome as it had a door that didnât open on my end and led to an adjacent room, I asked to be moved to 2nd floor bedroom due to associated safety concerns, they nicely did! Needless to say Iâd left the next day and luckily relocated to better option and saved my vacation. Safety here was my top concern, the owners do live there however when theyâre away the staff brings in people to hangout there adding to my concerns. The pool is so dirty I was skeptical of using. The staff do a decent job in welcoming clients and truly liked them, the restaurant side itâs ran really well and wish the rooms were treated the same way. Thereâs no entertainment as advertised, it itâs more like a once in a blue moon type of thing and not something the host offers regularly. Iâm from the island , I am used to mosquitoes however for someone thatâs not it might be an inconvenience. The property is on a dirt rd making it very hard to move around if you arenât driving. Food at the restaurant itâs mid, and overall would not recommend. I wish them well because it is a beautiful concept that needs a lot of work and a bit more caring owners. The events should be parts of the everyday stay given the ads.

Overall, my stay at Kibayo was pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though the shower had inconsistent hot water, and the showerhead was old and partially broken. The location is lovely, with a beautiful garden that adds to the charm. However, the breakfast was quite simple, consisting of two eggs, a single piece of bread, and a few slices of fruit.
We didnât get a chance to speak to the owner, and the only person available for communication was the cleaning lady, who also welcomed us. This made it difficult to ask questions or address concerns due to the language barrier, as I donât speak Spanish.
The property was super clean from inside out! Is not on the beach area but was wonderful for me the owners are so friendly! He let me stay 2 hours extra because my flight was at 6 pm ! I will suggest to include in the dinner menue more items like hamburgers and hot dogs? Thank you! Oh the breakfast is included was amaaaazing!
