Buy a locking Cable and chain it to the bed.
You need a bolt cutter to get through one of these.

secure it: Notebook Keyed Locks

Don't forget to post what hotel you are staying at online!
If you are really that worried, Cabarete has at least 1/2 a dozen cyber cafe's.

We would recomend Hotel Kaoba. They have rooms at verious rates depending on what you want. Safes in the rooms are available. Most of the staff speak english. There is a internet cafe at the hotel with skype. You may not need to bring your laptop I believe the cost for 20-30 min is $1.00 US. We've stayed there many times and now live in Cabarete. If We can give you any other info IM me. There are a lot of nice hotels here. We just happen to like this one, They made our stay very easy.

Kaoba's a decent place in a good location for around $30 a night. Cita del Sol may be worth checking out as well. Very few safes, even at the Bigger hotels (Hilton, Marriott, etc) will fit a standard laptop. As ha been mentioned, there are several cyber cafes in Cabarete, including the one at Kaoba....if you do bring your laptop, just about all the restaurants and bars on the beach have free wifi The sans souci hotels push the "from $15 per night" thing all over the north coast, but that's actually FROM $15 per person x 4 people, or $60 per room per night...

I do not know of many reasonable places other then the hotel Europa, although the manager Diego is not american , he is fluent in English and his hotel has a nice pool and is centrally located right in Sosua which is a quaint little beach town just outside of cabaretta . The hotel has efficciency apartment ,and they have digital safe combination boxes ,im not sure if they can accomadate a laptop but they are veru secure and the only way someone would steal from your room is if you let someone in and they took it . the maids and staff are great , no thieves , the rate varies but think along the lines of about 45 US per night , might be a discount for extended stay , like 7 days or more. I highly reccomend them

There are much nicer places to stay in Sosua for the same money with better ambiance.
