Default Cabrete or Playa Dorado for Nightlife???

I am going to the DM in January. Should I stay at Playa Dorado or Cabrete for the discos and bars? I am a single male in my 30's. How many minutes is Playa Dorado from Cabrete by taxi??

I was in a Cabarete disco exactly a month ago tonight. Onno's to be exact. There are several right beside each other. They back right onto the beach and as they fill up the crowd just expands onto the beach. I was the oldest one there I am sure but it didn't stop me from grooving. It was absolutely bloody fantastic.

Altho I have never been to Playa Dorado I can not imagine they have anything to compare to the atmosphere at Onno's in the middle of Cabarete.

The place was packed with absolutely beautiful woman. Amazingly most of them were white. Mostly European 'dolls'.

Definitely worth a night or two there no matter where you are staying. Its about 40 minutes from Playa Dorada. Roughly a $40 to $45 taxi ride.

P.S. I also really enjoyed the NV and Classico Disco's in Sosua.

No question that Cabarette or Sosua would be a much better experience if it is bars and discos you are looking for. Nightlife in both towns is great...tom

Quite frankly it depends on what you are looking for!!! To the OP tell us what you are wanting and then those of us who live here can stear you in the right direction!

What is wonderful to one will not necessarily fit the needs of someone else.

I hope that wasn't meant to mean that those of us who don't live there don't know what they are talking about.

Have you been in the NV or Classico disco's in the last month. Or to Onno's in Cabarete also.

Am I getting a little testy, a little thinned skinned maybe, lol.

Nope that wasn't directed at anyone, just a general statement Kiwi.....

BTW, I go out regularly but not to Cabarete.... so that is not my area of expertise........
