Well...here is my two cents (and I admit I am a newbie....I have been comming to Cabarete for the last 3-4 years...staying 2-3 months...). One year I was in a bit of a bind...my normal place was not returning my e-mails...and I was running out of time. I was exchanging e-mails with several different "women" at this place on the details of the reservation (I discovered later these e-mails were all from Ali masquarading as women...evidentally he thinks this helps business). Then he stopped returning e-mails, so I called him (from the US) to firm things up, and I was suddenly talking to the soup nazi from Seinfeld. "No room for you!". I panicked and called the place I normally rent from (kicking myself for not thinking of this earlier...it turns out they had been returning my e-mails but my spam blocker had blocked them). I sent Ali a cordial "sorry things didn't work out" e-mail to cancel my reservation (a couple of weeks early), and when my girlfriend and I arrived in Cabarete we went to check out what we had missed out on. The grounds were beautiful, the rooms were spartan but clean, and it looked OK, but in my meeting with Ali I realized he was not just the soup nazi, but a MEAN soup nazi.
