Northway's Hotel Monte Cristo

On the north coast of the Dominican Republic in Cabarete, a boutique beach hotel tucked under coconut palms. Steps from Cabarete Beach (0.5 mi / 0.8 km) and a short drive to Kite Beach and Encuentro Beach. Gregorio Luperon Intl. Airport (POP) is about 25 km away.

Just 9 air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators, flat-screen TVs and in-room safes. Expect allergy-protected bedding with memory-foam toppers, full bathrooms (many with a second sink), ceiling fans and daily housekeeping. There’s a private rooftop sundeck where clothing-optional sunbathing is permitted, and a calm, tropical vibe throughout.

Outdoor pool and poolside bar for easy lounging. Pampering available with onsite massages and body treatments. Picnic and barbecue areas for casual social nights. The hotel can arrange kite-surf instruction at discounted rates. Complimentary wireless internet and free self parking keep things simple. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and a laid-back beach soundtrack.

24-hour front desk and a safe-deposit box at reception. Complimentary wireless internet across the property and free self parking onsite.

Hideaway Bar & Grill serves bar drinks, a hot breakfast and island bites like jerk chicken and homemade rum punch. Full breakfasts are available daily (7:30–11:00 AM) for a fee, and 24-hour room service is offered for late-night cravings.
