My boyfriend and I spent four nights at Sosua by the Sea in March, 2008 and had a wonderful time. It was the perfect place to stay for a nice, relaxing beach vacation. The hotel was charming - great pool, lovely restaurant area and beautiful gardens, and the private beach is spectacular! After reading some of the reviews, I emailed... more

Just visited this resort for a week, we originally booked B&B as people had said meals were a bit poor, on arrival and after personal inspection of the buffet & a la carte meals we decided to upgrade to AI. They were some of the best meals I've had on holiday for quite a while, can't think what people were... more

Stayed 1st week of March. Some pros and cons. Pros: The pool area is great, no loud music and not crowded. The beach is good and the staff will bring down chairs from the pool area for you. You can rent an umbrella from a vendor for 3 US or 100 RD. The room was nice kept clean and the... more

Thanks to the hotel's manager Marc Naudts, which I contacted previous to our arrival, we had a warm welcome even though we arrived at 1:00 am. Beautiful roses and a bottle of champagne were waiting for us in our apartment. The main room was beautiful decorated with all the flowers on the bed and little flowers everywhere. My wife was... more

Just returned from Sosua By the Sea, would we return again, most likely not. This boutique hotel is suppose to be rated as a 4 star, I would say not a chance, more a 3 star. I would say the rooms need some updating, or freshening up, ie. painting of walls and doors. Unlike other tourists, we didn't get any... more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Susua by the Sea "Resort". Unfortunately this year we let cost be the over riding factor...never again. I found a tag line while on this holiday that said "one shouldn't have to downgrade to go on holidays." At this hotel you indeed downgrade. The hotel is small and we picked it as... more

We just returned and did NOT have a good experience at Sosua by the Sea. It did have some positive points: ~ the room was clean, a good size, and well kept ~ the tv and a/c in the room they switched us to worked fine (in the 1st room neither worked at all) ~ once they moved us, it... more

I` ve stayed for a week with my partner at this hotel on a BB basis and really enjoyed it. This was our 2nd holiday at DR and would go back again. The hotel is nice and clean, the staff is friendly, honest and very helpful. The barstaff is quick and cheerful. The hotel has own beach and its pool... more

Tour: We had a great time, as usual. Saw our buddy Linda at Mel' Tours and took the Puerto Plata tour, as well as cable car up Mt. Isabel. I was good in the cable car, despite my fear of heights. Spectacular views, walking trails, etc. Shopped in Puerto Plata for an hour, but found the pushiness of street and... more
