Hotel rates over there aren't great. Believe it or not, D.R. is the most expensive country in latin america. For a regular, shity, hotel you're going to pay around $30-60 a night, all the way up to resort prices. If you want to catch a break, one great place to stay in Cabarete is Ali's Surf Camp. It's located at the East end of the city and a 10min walk on the beach to "kite beach," which is located at the west end. You can rent a bungalow there for like $10-15 a night i believe. If you have a group of guys, like we did, you can rent an apartment from them which is pretty cheap. It only ended up costing each of us about $70 for about 6 nights. One apartment contains a kitchen/bathroom/2 bedrooms (w/ 7 beds). Just don't expect to get off cheap staying in the D.R....they know gringos when they see 'em.
