Information wanted on two cabarete Hotels

[samsbar]

Can anyone provide insight on level of accomodations, amenities,etc for "Casa Blanca" and "Residencia Dominican" In Cabarete? I have friends considering these hotels for a vacation next year and they have asked for the "scoop". Found one thread here for Casa Blanca but it was dated. Any help appreciated. Thank you Joanne

This is my second stay at Casa Blanca here in Cabarete. Last year I posted this review:

Casa Blanca - My Home Away From Home - Review of Casa Blanca Hotel, Cabarete, Dominican Republic - TripAdvisor

Nothing has changed, and I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. I'll be here for the next couple of months, so if you want any current room photos or more detailed info, just ask.

mmhmm....isnt it owned by some sort of clergyman/real estate person that used to post on here or has it changed hands

I would keep my distance from this hotel unless it was sold.
The Pastor/Real Estate charlatan is not someone I would trust with the keys to my room.

Do a search on the name cabaretewilliam on this site for a review.

Did you ever stop to think why the "wonderful" reports are by posters with just one (1) post. Whats even more of a coincidence, is those posters often have the same IP address and are posting from the same computer etc. Mmmmm......

My advice, take the advice of those posters that actually live here and have many posts on the board

For some highly recommended alternatives, take a look at: Dominican Republic Small Hotels

The owner of Casa Blanca has been banned here on several occasions for various TOS violations and has been sanctioned on TripAdvisor (where I am a Destination Expert) for SPAMMING TA members with their PM system and for verbally attacking posters who post less than glorious comments about his property and himself. He has had posts removed and has had his PM privileges withdrawn.

It is really quite pathetic when you are the only one saying good things about your own property.

You still posting as "thomas2" these days?
How many other usernames do you have?

You're right, we sure do discriminate here at DR1, we don't support or endorse those hotel operators that are know to have an "interesting" reputation. All the others, we go out of our way to promote and present their businesses, look no further than dr1travel.com

Hey, who am I to judge, I'll let others search on DR1 and do their due diligence and see what they find out about "Casa Blanca in Cabarete".

This is a wind up right??

Joanne,

I stayed at Casa Blanca twice (Feb 07 & Mar 08)...once by the old owner and once with the new owner.

The hotel is reasonably priced and is quiet.

It is unfortunate that the owner seems to have lost his mind because otherwise I would have recommended it.

The way things seem to be right now, I wouldn't chance it or recommend it to others anymore.

And unfortunately it isn't just DR1. A few weeks ago the CabareteWilliam account was banned on Trip Advisor (probably because others were jealous since his hotel was getting so many positive reviews) so he is now forced to publish Owner Responses under a William01 account.

And then last week Dominican Today banned his account just for telling a really funny joke (there is one part I will probably need to change...he uses the full "Nword"...but I am sure it was to serve God’s will, when will you people understand?) http://www.dominicantoday.com/dr/for...in-Louisiana/3.

Here it is in case you are too lazy to go over and look at it.

“This is airplane is going to crash and the pilot says i have good news and bad news. The bad news is this plane is going down and quick, the good news is if we throw people off the plane we might be able to recover. the pilot say ok lets start alphabetically, (A) are there and African Americans on the plane, no one answers. (B) Are there any Black people on the plane, no one answers. (C) Are there any colored people on the plane, no one answers. So then a black kid says to his dad i thought we were African American, black, and colored. His dad says no son today were [Nword']s we'll let the mexicans go before us.”

C'mon. This is hilarious (although he probably could have used “negros” rather than the real Nword and it would have been pretty much the same joke, if not as funny)! The moderators of all these sites must be liberal white people because colored folks down here think this is really funny stuff. In fact the pastor is practically one of them. He even told me this story where a few times he actually went to this pool hall above the grocery store in Cabarete where white people never go and played pool with them.

He deserves better treatment than this.

Yes William, you are right - it's not you; it's everyone else...

You get banned over and over from multiple websites for the same outrageous behaviors and it's never you - it's always about someone else's agenda.

FYI your other TA alter ego CabareteWilliam was banned well after you created the William01 persona, in violation of the TA TOS which does not permit multiple accounts, but that probably shouldn't apply to you, should it.
