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.

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. The breakfast at the hotel restaurant was great, though dinner was just ok one night so we ate out the other nights.

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 walk). Both are very nice. The private beach of the hotel was washed away after a big storm couple of years ago. The public beach belongs to the hotel nextdoor and you are not allowed to use their sunbeds, or you have to pay (10$ a day!!!), so we got sunbeds from our own hotel and used those everyday at the beach. . There are no sellers at the public beach next to the hotel, there are a lot of sellers at sosua bay, but if you politely say no, they will not keep on pushing and just leave.
The hotel was quiet, only 30% occupied, but that was great as we were there for a relaxing time. Plenty of room at the pool and no lines at the buffet (sometimes they even had a la carte dining!) The food was good and more than enough. You can either stay All Inclusive,but its not necessary as you can walk into sosua in the evening and there are plenty of restaurants for diner. Couple of supermarkets in the area as well. The staff was really friendly and helpfull, most of them speek english. All in all a really nice hotel and we enjoyed are stay very much!
A tip is to book a horsebackriding trip with Chiquito (he comes by the hotel a couple of times) which takes you into villages, mountains, rivers and all well prepared with drinks and lunch. We recommend it! He also does other trips on the island and the positive thing is its well organised and he takes only 6-8 people, so no big touristic busses etc. Far better than the trips provided by the big touristic tours!

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 machines in the tiny gym are broken. Hot water is sometimes not available. The hotel used to have a private beach which was destroyed by erosion; a public beach is directly adjacent and adequate. Families will not be exposed to the town's tawdry side. For a restful vacation at a modest price (but with modest expectations) it is to be recommended. For those who need Internet access (including this writer) the shoddy infrastructure can be a huge frustration, though.
