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

My husband and i just returned from our second trip to Sosua by the Sea. I call it a little emerald because the island is so lush and green that it's the gem that comes to mind. Whenever i describe the DR to anyone i always start with the Dominican people....kind, friendly, helpful with a warmth of spirit that reaches... more

My husband and I spent 5 quiet, absolutely relaxing days at Sosúa by the Sea. We loved the hotel and the private beach (big waves, snorkeling trips to nearby reef spots available straight from the hotel). With the exception of the Sunday night BBQ, the food was quite good -- much better than we'd expected. The hotel is very clean,... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for two weeks in March of 2007. An auntie of mine, who is a travel agent, reccomended it to me as she has been to the DR many times. I couldn't be happier with our choice of hotel. It's small and quiet, which is exactly what we were looking for. It also... more

It's on a small, very pretty private beach within easy walking distance of the main part of Sosua. Rooms are very comfortable and clean (we were happy we reserved one... more

I needed a quick getaway over a long holiday weekend, and my dentist of all people recommended this hotel. On a whim, I booked it, and was not disappointed. The hotel general manager worked so hard to accommodate my need for peace and quiet and offered me a very competitive rate. As a single woman traveling alone, I felt very... more

We spent last week Mar.11-18,2007 (not enough time!) at this very nice small resort. It's a very quiet and clean place with a nice pool area on it's own beach. There is a larger beach right next door which is where the Casa Marina Hotel is. It's a beautiful beach and we spent most of our beach time here-GREAT WAVES!!... more

Sosua by the Sea was an amazing place to stay at. It was my first time being in the DR but i enjoyed it alot. All staff members seemed very friendly especially the bartender Christina. The resort was clean, relaxing, and the food was great. They had a variety of foods everyday which I found to be very good. I... more
