Edit Wars[edit]

Extreme Hotel and Swell Surf Camp seem to be engaged in a long-running edit war to degrade each other's listings. This is a breach of a key tenet of Project:Don't tout so I've removed both. They're welcome to work out their differences on this talk page, but if either listing is restored without discussion I'd suggest blacklisting. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 20:17, 7 February 2010 (EST)

Both have now been blacklisted after being re-added without first discussing. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 18:41, 8 March 2010 (EST)
Just to re-iterate, based on past edit wars both of these establishments should be excluded from this article until there is some evidence provided that their business practices don't reflect their past wiki behavior, otherwise these clearly aren't businesses we want on Wikivoyage. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 15:03, 22 July 2010 (EDT)


Address Info[edit]

It should be made clear that there are many apartment complexes and "resorts" (I use the word in quotes because there are actually only two resorts in Cabarete) that have completely separate businesses located on nearby property. Since addresses are not the same as they are in developed countries, many small businesses have to use larger businesses as a reference point or as their address. If you google many places in Cabarete, the directions will say something like: make a left at the big tree. Even Google My Business has a very hard time verifying businesses in Cabarete because there is no way to receive a postcard at a "business address." So although it might seem like there are several items being added to one "resort" often that is not the case. This is not always true, since a few hotels do have "in-house" restaurants, but more often than not they are separate entities with totally separate owners. —The preceding comment was added by SocialZealot (talkcontribs)
