Kibayo
★ 4.8 · 224 reviews Cabarete Opened 2024
A small hotel restaurant hidden behind a tropical garden
Kibayo is a small boutique hotel near Sea Horse Ranch, five minutes' walk from Kite Beach. Its bar and restaurant opened to non-guests in 2024.
The dining room sits inside a garden setting rather than on the sand, one of the few dinner spots in Cabarete that isn't a beach club. The kitchen runs 5 to 10pm only, a reservation rather than a walk-in lunch.

Exceptional value for money! We stayed three nights at this wonderful property. The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, the hosts forthcoming, the breakfast lovely and the atmosphere in the garden enchanting.

Some places in the Dominican Republic scream at you with bachata, merengue and God forbid Dembow from 7am. This place politely hands you a cold drink and lets you hear your own thoughts again - thank you 🙏 A super relaxed little hideout perfectly located between Sosúa and Cabarete - close enough to civilization, far enough from disasters and random motorcycles with no exhaust 😂😂😂😂 The Indian food is dangerously good (rare to get in this country), the drinks selection is surprisingly solid, and the whole place is run by the kind of adventurous humans who arrived for a holiday and accidentally built a lifestyle instead. Would happily return for another curry and another temporary escape.

My partner and I stayed at the property for 3 nights and it was perfect! The hotel is located in a secluded spot which makes it super relaxing. They really offer a lot on the property including the restaurant, bar, yoga pavilion, lagoon and kitchen amenities. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Cabarete, the staff were all so friendly and we wish them well!

Kibayo is just one of the nicest place in Cabarete. If you look for a warm and familiar welcome you just found the right place. Taif and Estee are the kind of host that you feel as much sad to leave as one of yours On top of that the cuisine is delicious with this touch of asian specialties Nb : just do a kayak tour around with the free provides ones, you won t regret it!

Our stay was amazing. We arrived quite late in the night, but the staff was here to welcome us with a complimentary drink! They installed the room as requested, and they were extremely accommodating. We met the owner on the following morning and had a very nice chat with great recommendation for Surf. The place is clean, beautiful, peaceful and the Kanoe is a very nice plus!! I would definitely recommend the place.
