Our first time visiting Cabarete and Millennium! A small town feel with amazing beach front restaurants but without the busy tourist activity! We realize it was low season but our first vacation that didn’t feel over commercialized or the typical tourist “trap”! Highly recommend this area generally and Millennium specifically!
Stayed just after hurricane Fiona and the staff was very helpful. The hotel is very modern and comfortable and everything was functioning. Just a couple of constructive comments: you almost had to be a body builder to open the sliding glass door (apparently needed lubricant) in 223. The fact that there was a "toaster oven" instead of a microwave was curious. Not much you can do with the former and a microwave is so good for reheating, etc. Yalla, the hotel restaurant, is in a separate building, so at night you'd think there would be extra efforts to assist the visitor to go out there. Instead, the lighting in the walkway under the arbors on the side of the building was off and it was very dark. The lighting on the path directly out the back of the hotel is weak.
During the day, the chrome hand rail going up the stairs to Yalla is scorching hot - no warning and no cloth or other material to protect the user.
I have disabilities but could have used the stairs in the hotel except for the fact there are no railings. I may have had quite a difficulty if the electricity was out or if there was some other emergency. Railings are essential.
Perfect for kiters. The LEK kiting school is located directly in front and is fantastic. In August there were just the right amount of kiters around. Not too many where it was super crowded. Just enough so you felt like you had plenty of company out there. Our room felt very clean and comfortable, and we loved being so close to the beach. The pool is really nice. The food at the restaurant is good, not great. But we loved being right next to Gypsy bowls and Ubuntu! I went up to Natura and down to Carib for yoga. Look at the bulletin board at Fresh Fresh to find current classes. Super friendly staff at the hotel. And lovely outdoor massage spot.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We are very lucky to have pretty great, consistent wind in the afternoons and lovely waves in the morning at Playa Encuentro. There are always such wonderful new restaurants opening up as well. We are very happy to have Ubuntu and Gypsy Bowl within a 3-minute walk of us!
We hope you will be back again soon!
Stayed in 333 was happy to arrive and to be welcomed by the staff, the rooms still have this “ wow” impact on me each time I open the door, there is some more to improve in the rooms to modernize it like the Wi-Fi and the soaps but generally speaking it’s good.
Was happy to see the improvements in the restaurant, the new roof give an nice elegant touch that the place deserve, David the manager of the restaurant is young working man, always present. impressive that he remembered my name and my order from my previous stay. The staff are unique the crew didn’t change for years and they contiguous happy people to be around. The food is delicious i I orders the chicken pinchos and it’s got the right amount of “picante” to kick.
Very happy to be back and to see everyone!

location: 5 min walk from all the downtown restaurants, 20min walk on the beach to kite beach, <5min from the supermarket
service: impecable at all levels
restaurant: aqua was perfect for late breakfast before kitesurfing lessons, tapas anytime, great drinks. Staff was friendly and made us feel home immediately.
view: can't beat the view of the ocean from the living room/balcony with the kites in the background
lovely pool with lounge chairs always available around (this was a busy spring break week)
room: OMG, this was a very spacious apartment with big, modern, clean bedroom, living room, kitchen, and balcony. I expected great, we got top notch!
excellent kitesurfing school (LEK) just in front of the hotel.
This is a residence hotel. One of the apartment was for sale. We were very tempted to buy it! maybe on our next trip... I have traveled all over the world and prefer visiting new places, but felt in love with Cabarete, and the Millenium was definitely an ideal place to stay. Checking how we can come back asap :)
Thank you to the entire staff.
Just one comment for the owner of 203: the mattress could be changed, this was the only aspects to be improved.
Thank you so much for your comments! It would be our pleasure to welcome you back! Thank you for all of the information you provided as well which we hope will make our future guests familiarized with our property and location!
If you have a moment, please drop me an email! We'd like to replace the mattress but the room number is mistyped or misremembered.
Thank you again and we hope your travels take you back here soon!
