We had a truly wonderful vacation experience at the Tropix in Sosua recently. We did not know what to expect, having picked the hotel based on its reasonable price and almost too-good-to-true online reviews -- Well, Tropix met and exceeded our hopes!! Upon arrival, I was struck by the property's tranquil setting—well-maintained tropical plants and fruit trees overlook the beautiful,... more

A little late in writing this but here goes. Had never been to the DR before and didn't know what to expect. Deeann is an old DR hand and gladly shared her experience. I wanted to do a day trip to Haiti. She had never been and accompanied me on a never to be forgotten excursion to that benighted land.... more

I have never felt so confortable at a hotel. As a single female traveling, I have to worry about feeling safe and confortable and here I felt both. Deeann was great!! I never felt the need to hang out in my room and she made sure I felt confortable at her hotel. Deeann helped me find a great inexpensive tour... more

This is a wonderful place. The price is reasonable, it is clean, you can walk to the beach and the owner is amazing! You will feel at home. more

I thought that the beds were very small and uncomfortable. The hot water heater did not work properly and it was impossible to take any sort of real shower with no water pressure and no hot water.

This is the most wonderful little place, located close to everything you need, but still quiet and a great place to relax. The hostess, Deeann, is the best hostess you could ever... more

We just got back from a 7 day stay at the Tropix Hotel which was a great experience! We did not want the overpriced "all-inclusive" resorts. We wanted to truly explore the dominican culture and dine at all the local restaurants and interfere with the locals. This hotel is tucked in it's own private villa. It's located about half a... more

This hotel was one of the worst I have ever stayed in. The rooms were extremely mildewy, the paint was peeling, the shower did not get hot, the beds caused severe backaches. We left after one night when we'd planned to stay for four. It was truly a disaster. Price was not as listed. Ended us costing us $118 for... more

Those reading the Lonely Planet, whose author seems to hate the DR, would likely not bother stopping in the great little town of Sosua and would miss a terrific piece of the Dominican Republic (both Sosua and this Tropix, which is not found in any edition I've read). Tropix Hotel is a welcoming little hotel with very friendly staff (the... more
