Sosúa hotellia

Plussat: Housekeeping cleans very well and does the dishes

Plussat: great staff, good drinks, clean, peaceful and safe environment.

Miinukset: that they do not serve dinner.

Plussat: Everything is great: The staff is super friendly and always supportive. Our room was providing all what we needed besides the awesome view. It was super clean and very comfortable and very safe. Adrian as our first contact arranged everything to our satisfaction. It couldn‘t be a better stay.

Miinukset: There is absolutly nothing to complain.

Plussat: The gardens were really beautiful with the gardeners working very hard every day. Cleaners were all friendly and accommodating. Guards at the front and back of the property extremely friendly. All the staff were extremely helpful in making our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Adrian the manager went out of his way to help with anything we needed. Especially sorting out stamps for my postcards! We ate at the restaurant downstairs most days. The staff were unbelievably friendly and really welcoming. Swimming pool was amazing, with two lovely large jacuzzi's, great sun loungers, and at night they have twinkling star lights at the bottom - so pretty.

Miinukset: It wasn't their fault but sometimes we could hear music from neighbouring properties. There was a jazz festival on so it may have been that. Next time we go back (which will be very soon), we will take some earplugs just in case as we are quite sensitive to noise.

Plussat: Friendly staff, excellent food, spotless apartment

Miinukset: That we had to leave

Plussat: The area is fun and beautiful. The condo with the pool, just spectacular. Great staff.

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: That we had to leave.

Plussat: The hotel was amazing. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The bathroom shower floor has rocks so it massages your feet. The pool is very nice has pool toys for the kids. It was very convenient because the pool is close to the rooms. Def will stay again.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Nikki is a perfect host, she do her best effort to keep the property in a perfect condition. The location is very quiet and in the middle of a private condominium, but very close to sosua. All that you need to have a relaxing time. If you know sosua you'll appreciate that.

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was good enough for us

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen. Hotelli sijaitsee kaukana keskustasta. Lehmät ja kanat viihdyttävät.

Miinukset: Sijainti edellyttää auton käyttöä kaupparetkillä - kävellen liikkuminen on kuulemma vaarallista. Ryöstäjä on ollut.

Plussat: Immaculate, tranquil place. Very welcoming!

Plussat: Nikky is such a wonderful host. We had already stayed in the DR for seven days at an all-inclusive resort, but flight was canceled and we couldn't get on another flight until five days later. Nikki made us feel at home. We were able to minimize our expenses because she let us use the outdoor kitchen and gave me rides to the supermarket. The pool was beautiful. The nearby beach, Playa Laguna, was the prettiest of the three beaches we went to during our DR trip. It's quiet, without people peddling their goods. There's a water filter on the property so tap water was potable. The staff was friendly. The breakfasts was well-balanced. The internet connection was great. The room was really clean and designed with storage in mind. We had a great time and are really grateful for our host.

Plussat: Clean, new, nice pool, by the sea

Miinukset: It totally met my expectations

Plussat: The property is lovely. Nikki is a great host and her fur babies are super cute. I loved that it’s so close to Sosua yet complete insulated from the seedier stuff that is everywhere in Sosua. Oh and breakfast was delicious!!

Plussat: Nikki was amazing. The property was exactly like expected by the photos. A beautiful piece of paradise. She was very helpful with getting us to dinner and suggesting an amazing restaurant. Very relaxed and the friendly cats and rescue dog Linda made us feel at home. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Miinukset: I wish we had realized the kitchen for our use was so accessible I would have brought a bit of food to cook

Plussat: Best hotel in Sosua town. Powerful air conditioning.Comfortable beds.Very secure environment. Staff exceptionally helpful,gracious and positive . Hotel has a very friendly atmosphere-something many other Sosua hotels lack(having stayed in about 5 other Sosua hotels).Kitchen creates great tasting international dishes,drawing in customers from elsewhere. 3-5 minute walk to beach. Rooms overlooking pool are quiet.

Plussat: Breakfast was great!! Cecelia of the morning staff was extremely courteous and helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Ihanan leppoisa paikka, persoonallinen ja hiljainen. Erittäin hyvä aamiainen hintaan sisältyneenä. Kaikki mitä tarvitsee majoituspaikalta!

Miinukset: Aamiaista voi joskus joutua odottamaan hetken, aika pieni keittiö.

Plussat: Quaint boutique feeling. Proximity to everything.

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta

Plussat: The property had an amazing courtyard with tree cover over the pool. Casa Valeria is directly in the downtown of Sosua... 5 minute walk to Alicia or Sosua beach, bank, restaurants, supermarkets. The staff were super friendly and helpful at all times a + breakfast was included to what was already a great rate.

Miinukset: the tinting on the shower enclosure was peeling and wasn't water tight so part of the washroom was flooded everyone I showered.

Plussat: Staff was really friendly. Close to the beach. The breakfast was great. The room itself was really good for the price. Clean and romantic room.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: food

Plussat: everything was good people friendly food was good

Miinukset: water pressure was a bit low at times

Plussat: breakfast was good with multiple choices

Plussat: rooms are small , but everything was working and very clean

Miinukset: breakfast was ok , but it is very noisy to sit there . many motorbikes create a lot of noise in front of the restaurant

Plussat: Easy walk to both beaches nearby. Many restaurants close by.

Miinukset: Bit noisy.

Plussat: Accommodating consistency, excellent architecture, beautiful ocean view, great hospitality from all staff members, good kitchen and drink menu to choose from, private setting, and a very nice overall stay without any unresolved issues to complete a worth while vacation.

Miinukset: All inclusive option offered would definitely make this marvelous resort & spa a more attractive vacation package.

Plussat: Loved the location and the pool and the pool bar/ restaurant! The servers at Aqua were fantastic ..friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back

Plussat: Very friendly and accommodating staff, great location, rooms are immaculate.

Miinukset: Internet was bad as advertised by previous reviewers. It didn't bother since I was on vacation and didn't want to use the internet but it should be a pretty easy fix. If I was there for business it would be a problem

Plussat: Staff Food Service Place View Comfort.

Plussat: Amazing natural eco delight, beautiful architectural details everywhere. Not cheap but every minute was joyous, spa is small but totally charming. Staff is super welcoming and attentive!

Miinukset: Great surfing beaches, but a bit rocky if u want to swim in open calm waters, it is ok for brief plunge. Sand and secret is gorgeous though.

Plussat: Tunnelma, bungalow, henkilökunta, ruoka

Plussat: The room was big, the staff was very nice and helpful. The place is so quiet and beautiful, nice private beach and pool area.

Miinukset: No air conditioner in the room!

Plussat: Restaurant included in the faciltiea

Plussat: If you're looking for an easy trip to paradise, this is it. 3 hours from NYC and 20 minutes from the airport in Puerta Plata can't be beat. This is a very low key, non-touristy spot and the aesthetics of this collection of cabanas is just beautiful. This is a very peaceful spot and if you're looking for a place to relax and/or do yoga and pilates, this is it! Great for couples and families but could be a lovely and easy respite for a single person looking for some time away from it all. As a woman, I have always felt safe here. The breakfast was excellent. We loved our cabana and the grounds were very lush and well taken care of. The veggie garden was lovely and supplies a lot of the food for their kitchens. I like the farm to table feel of the menu. The staff were very attentive and friendly and Enrique, the manager, made himself very accessible and showed appreciation for his staff.

Miinukset: I would like to see more choices on the lunch menu like a simple grilled fish and most important, Dominican food.

Plussat: I loved taking the yoga class overlooking the beach. The food was incredible! It was super healthy and the portions were generous. The room was unique as we had our own sitting area. This was a gem off the beaten path. The hotel responded promptly to me and set up someone to pick us up at the airport. They also accommodated us checking out later before we had to leave. I highly recommend this oasis.

Miinukset: I would suggest extra help with the wait staff during the busy times at the restaurant.

Plussat: Great place, good food, nice view

Miinukset: For the price it should be all inclusive

Plussat: Breakfast staff and facilities were amazing

Miinukset: They didn't replied to my requests on their website

Plussat: Beautiful grounds and excellent location — value for money

Plussat: The view from our room is brilliant. Loved the restaurant and pool location facing the sea. Great hospitality.

Miinukset: Our ac kept turning off, but the management were gracious enough to fix at asap. Yet even offered to change our rooms, but since the room had a great view we did not want to switch.

Plussat: The place is quiet and beautiful. More secluded then many of the hotels but still close enough to be able to walk to the happening spots. Beautiful view. The mini suite was great. Clean, comfortable, and not too small

Miinukset: Everything was great until the night before we were scheduled to leave. We ordered the Lobster for dinner. Both me and my partner got violently sick from food poisoning. When I sent an e-mail to the hotel after getting back to the US, I received no reply!

Plussat: quiet, romantic, beautiful views, short walk to fun bars restaurants and live music, ,

Miinukset: the entrance to the resort was off a rough gravel road

Plussat: Room 222 is the best. Pool is very nice.

Miinukset: Restaurant was very slow. Food not that great

Plussat: The breakfast is very good much better than any my girlfriend and I had at other resorts in and around Punta Cana and Puerto Plata. The atmosphere is great, very peaceful/tranquil, the beach sounds are amazing with the surf crashing continuously. The views are just breathtaking of the ocean truly was at peace without the drub of people that normally is at the normal resorts.

Miinukset: The pool was chilly and has a very strange shape like an elongated bowl, ocean was warmer but not very accessible at the property which was fine. We still went swimming but the pool is not built for novice or people whom cannot swim as it is fairly deep in the middle and has a very sharp incline from the edges.

Plussat: Restful hotel, reasonable menu, excellent kitchen / dining facilities in our room. Breakfast choices were ok. Lunch and dinner specials were good as was the remainder of the menus. Helpful staff with luggage and car parking.

Miinukset: Was rather surprised that it was priced in US dollars, which was converted to Dominican Pesos then charged. Best to pay for restaurant food in Pesos rather the on the room account.

Plussat: The breakfast selection was great. They have an omelette station and a variety of prepared foods plus the variety of fruits, cereals, coffee and teas. The rooms were clean and very spacious. The pool at golden hour was spectacular, especially since it was open until 10 PM.

Miinukset: The beach front isn't good for bathing. You need to go to the public beach about a 5 minute walk away to enjoy the beach itself. There isn't a life guard on duty at the pool.

Plussat: Sijainti on loistava ja alue erittäin viihtyisä! Henkilökunta oli mahtava!

Miinukset: Aamupalan puuttuminen. Vieressä oli kyllä hyvä paikka josta sitä sai ostettua.

Plussat: Very quite and relax

Miinukset: Too close to the cementera

Plussat: You can't beat the location and service. Good service is extremely rare in this country. But this place nailed it! From serving beers to getting ice from the local colmado and delivering it to my room. The staff was the best.

Plussat: The view is amazing! The vibe of the place was awesome. The staff, from the reception to the parking lot attendant, were first class.

Miinukset: The lock on the door never worked so we were never able to lock the room. I made management aware of the situation, I assume they will fix it. It didn't effect my security or experience however.

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay at Magnifico. Calm, nice hotel with amazing pool area. The hot jacuzzi was the best!! Clean room with comfortable bed and hot water. Staff was very friendly and close to Cabarete town. Everything was perfect.

Plussat: El Maginifico is a beautiful, boutique hotel located in peaceful, safe area of Cabarete. The customer service is excellent, very attentive yet privacy respecting. Every time I am a guest here, either by myself or with my beloved ones - my teenage daughter or with my partner - our family feel safe, well protected and looked after. The sound of the sea puts us to sleep and the wall of greens - amazing plants and flowers around - sooth our minds. Definitely that's the place where we will stay again.

Miinukset: We did not like the idea of leaving El Magnifico.

Plussat: Lovely staff, one step from the ocean. Close to the center.

Plussat: Room was very nice and elegant. Friendly attendants and warm welcome. The pictures were fascinating but in person everything was much more beautiful. If you want to have a amazing vacation and feel like home this is the place.

Miinukset: Breakfast not included.

Plussat: Terrific location right beside a thundering beach!

Plussat: The property was great and clean staff was great I’m coming back

Plussat: The staff was always very helpful and after a few days remembered how I prefer my breakfast. Delicious breakfast. Beautiful hotel. There's a very small beach just two minutes walk from the hotel that is beautiful and secluded. We were often alone there to sun bake and swim. If you're looking for a quiet hotel to rest this is the place to go. Owners are happy to help when needed. Free dispensed water!

Miinukset: Beds were hard. Pool was cold. The rooms need a proper cleaning. A bit of a walk to get anywhere from the hotel.

Plussat: If you are looking for peacefulness and relieve stress, this is the place to be in Sosua. The owners and staff are very friendly, helpful and hospitable. The food is amazing! Alina is a great cook! We have stayed twice at this hotel and can not wait to go back.

Plussat: I truly had the absolute best experience i have had at a hotel. Vadyim and Alina (owners) were the absolute best hosts i couldve hoped for. They made everything so easy from food to setting up excursions . I did not want to leave . I would recommend this resort to anyone . I will without doubt be a repeat customer! Have the Spritzer Aperoli!

Miinukset: That i had to leave after 5 days lol.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful stuff. Thank you for that :) Nice quiet neighbourhood, away from all the hustle and bustle.

Miinukset: Not very close to the centre and main beaches, though you get a nice small beach near to the hotel.

Plussat: Everything was great! Very nice and helpful people, well located, close to the center, property is neat, cozy and very clean. Wll definitely come back!

Plussat: Siisti ja rauhallinen hotelli, tilavat huoneet, pyyhkeet vaihdettiin päivittäin. Henkilökunta oli mukavaa ja omistaja oli paikalla oikeastaan koko päivän ja mm. illalla grillaili loistavia liharuokia ja soitteli hyvää musiikkia. Aamiainen oli hyvä ja kahvia sai riittävästi jo ennen aamupalaa. Ruoka oli kaikinpuolin loistavaa ja erityisesti liharuoat (parasta mitä söimme 3 viikon aikana koko maassa). Tässä hotellissa pystyi yönsä nukkumaan rauhallisesti ilman ympäristöstä kuuluvaa meteliä.

Miinukset: Sijjainti on hieman syrjässä ja lähellä oleva pieni ranta ei oikein vaikuttanut uimarannalta. Huoneestamme pääsi ulos, mutta siinä ei ollut varsinaista terassia, mutta siitä oli toki lyhyt matka altaalle.

Plussat: This small hotel is on perfect location, only 200 meters from the ocean and beautiful beach, Playa Chiquita from where you can snorkel toward coral reef. The owners give special touch to the place itself, always helping with advices where to go, what to see and with having all of the water-sport and diving equipment there was nothing we worried about. Few minutes away with taxi you can enjoy in crazy Sosua night life. Definitively, place to stay.

Plussat: Everything was amazing including the owners very nice personality and a comfortable quiet place

Plussat: Loistava palvelu ja ihanat omistajat

Miinukset: Paikka hieman surjässä

Plussat: The hotel was very clean, and the staff was extremely friendly. The rooms were spacious and comfy. We really enjoyed our time there, and will return.

Plussat: The food is excellent at the restaurant, and the personnel is really nice.

Plussat: The food is excellent at the restaurant!

Plussat: Amazing Staff...Antonio is the best! Makes everything easy for you and really helps you navigate your stay depending on your needs, activities and timing. Will help and accomodate you and will make sure your stay is memorable. I loved the surfing school with great teachers and lots of time given to focus on you and to grow by great tips. Very accommodating and helpful on all aspects of the stay. Will make you dinner even when you arrive late because of your delayed flight...will drop you to the ATM when needed to help you...will introduce you to friends who own a diving center and make you feel like family when you book there...my stay has been memorable and I recommend Cabarete Surf Camp to anybody! Great location, atmosphere and people all around! I will go back sooner than later!

Plussat: Trips to the beach

Miinukset: It would be nice if they had a place to refill water bottles.... I hate wasting so much plastic when I travel and this would be a great way to help the environment

Plussat: Host was friendly and very helpful. Good overall experience

Miinukset: The bed was a bit uncomfortable.

Plussat: The location on the beach and close to the restaurants was excellent for us.

Miinukset: There was no coffee maker provided in the room.

Plussat: The pancakes are disgusting. Very thin and hardly cooked, too soft for my liking.

Miinukset: The staff hardly knows any English. The room phone wasn’t working. I made a complaint about the phone several times and nothing was done to fix the phone. The food was disgusting overal in the DR.

Plussat: Paikka upea, ihan rannalla. Hyvät sängyt. Ei melua ulkoa. Baari mukava kotoinen, odotus- ja treffauspaikka.

Miinukset: Vastaanoton virkailijat "nuivia", pitivät kuin jotenkin "huijareina"??? Ei tehnyt mieli mennä "kyselemään". Olimme sitten naapurissa viikon ja tunsimme olomme kotoisaksi ja hyväksi. Taina oli enemmän hotelli monien hotellien joukossa erinomaisella paikalla. Ja sitten ilmanvaihto piti aikamoista ääntä yöllä eikä ollut oikein säädettävissä. Suljettiin yöksi ettemme jäätyneet. Ei tehnyt mieli mennä valittamaan. Jääkaappi oli rikki ja valui vettä lattialle. Suljimme. Mies kävi katsomassa ja lattia kuivattiin. Jääkaappia ei korjattu joten olimme ilman nuo päivät. Pari päivää käy, useampi olisi ollut hankalaa. Kaiken kuitenkin siloittaa Cabaretten upea ranta näin suomalaiselle. Loppukommentti: Maan huoneistohotellit hyviä, lähes loistavia. Olimme viikon myös Puerto Platan alueella sellaisessa. Terveisin Maahan erittäin tyytyväinen

Plussat: Nice staff, clean and right on the beach.

Miinukset: Really low value for money.

Plussat: Nice rooms.

Miinukset: - Service at desk are poor. Say can't solve any issue if the reservation not made directly with them. Overcharged breakfast. - Swimming pool small. - Very dark areas around the hotel at night. - Annoying hustlers every minute at the beach area.

Plussat: This accommodation is centrally located, near all the amenities one would want. The beach front is excellent. The room was comfortable and clean.

Miinukset: Some rooms are quite close to the street and traffic noise could be a problem.

Plussat: Great location central to everythung

Plussat: The hotel is very nice, I travel with kids and this place was excellent option

Miinukset: Many people smoke

Plussat: Hyvällä paikalla. Mukava henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Kaipasin aurinkovarjoja. Aamiaisen hinta oli kallis. Kadun mopoliikenne oli liikaa! Auton parkkipaikka oli liian pieni, emme saaneet siihen aina autoa.

Plussat: Sirectly on the beach

Plussat: Right in front of the beach. Nice view , clean,

Miinukset: No breakfast or drinks included in the price, you need to pay extra if you want that. Also if you drive your own vehicle, is a very limited parking in front of the hotel.

Plussat: The location was perfect! The hotel is located in the city center on a main street. There are shops and restaurants surrounding it. You have the choice of eating in the restaurant which is on the beach with marvelous views or eating from the restaurants on the street. It's EXTREMELY economical to eat on the main street. We mostly did the buffet breakfast which is mostly continental but it was good. The food was good and I would recommend eating there for your stay if you didn't want to eat outside of the hotel. The hotel was nice and I really liked that it wasn't a large establishment (only 61 rooms). Due to the size the walk to the beach is merely feet away. I would suggest when making your reservation to request beach front so that you do not have the noise of the street. It's not super modern but it's modern enough. The exterior is a Mediterranean/Spanish design. The staff was always friendly and our rooms were always cleaned. A HUGE plus was that they provided face/washcloths. My previous stay in DR and from others that I know have stayed in DR wash cloths were not provided and most of the staff had no clue of what we were requesting. The pool was never crowded and there was always a chair available on the beach. We were told that the tents/umbrellas were included in our rate; however were told by the beach staff there was an additional charge. No big deal there were enough large palm trees for shade.

Miinukset: Not so much of a dislike but an FYI - the hotel does not have elevators. There are 4 levels with the upper level being the penthouse suites. It's not listed on the description but I think is good information to know for a person that my have difficulty going up and down stairs. The mattresses aren't that comfortable and slept like boards. They should really invest in upgrading. The main con we had is that by the third day there was what we thought was condensation on the floor from the mini fridge. Maintenance came in our room within minutes of our call and advised the AC was not working and they were working to fix. However; it was not fixed by our check out date 2 days later.
