Stayed at this resort 3/9-3/18/12. I have to say that the hotel itself is very nice & clean.but does show some age. The beds are comfortable but the rooms could use some updating. The food was not very good & I think the resort should invest in a new chef. The restaurant is buffet only & does get repetitive as... More

We really enjoyed the beautiful beach out front and the bar overlooking the ocean. The area was a little "seedy" otherwise but the staff at the hotel was nice, the food was decent and the rooms were nice. At one point in our stay, we had problems with our a/c and had to switch rooms. Overall, it was a decent... More

After 2 weeks stay Jan-Feb 2011 while in the DR doing some missions work, I can say this is a really lovely hotel. It is located on the edge of town right between 2 beaches. We had breakfast and suppers at the buffet which for a smaller hotel still had good variety of food to eat. Our time off was... More

Great place for the price. Beautiful view of the sea. Food was decent by Dominican standards. I was a little miffed by them wanting to charge extra for internet, but que sera. Oh, and all the equipment in the fitness center was broken. More

The building is a bit older but very well maintained with probably the best possible location above two great beaches (one private, one public). The staff is very friendly and the service is excellent. We really enjoyed our stay and felt incredibly relaxed after just 3 days here. The private beach was amazing, long, empty, beautiful to stroll and swim.... More

We stayed in this hotel in january and the entire vacation was terrific! The hotel is situated in Sosua and you can either walk to the public beach next to the hotel (just a few steps down, so you can walk back up to the hotel if you want to get drinks) or to the beach in sosua bay (5-10min...

Good points: quiet and secure location, attentive and friendly staff, pretty setting, surprisingly good food (the young chef is professional and prolific).Bad points: Like most of Sosua the property is struggling and lack of investment shows. Internet works intermittently and poorly (the computers seem older than the waiters). Rooms are rather spartan but comfortable and clean. Most of the exercise... More

One need not look any further for an enjoyable, relaxing vacation near the center of everything, yet far removed from the hustle and bustle that defines the hectic atmosphere of charming Sosua, than Sosua By the Sea Boutique Hotel. Situated as this little gem of a hotel is on its own semi-private beach, it is an oasis of calm, with... More
