I have stayed at the Hotel El Colibri 3 separate times over the last 3 years and have enjoyed my stay immensely. The rooms are clean, simple and are very affordable. I have been going to the Dominican for the last eight years and made 12 trips to the DR. I have stayed at all-inclusive's and at many smaller hotel across the Dominican Republic to know that this hotel is perfect for me. I truly love that it has a huge pool and love that the hotel is small so you are not bothered by the noise of an all-inclusive hotel. The restaurant is also affordable and offers a wide variety of comfort foods as well as Dominican dishes. This might not be the hotel for you if you enjoy all-inclusive atmosphere and want grand lavish rooms. If you are travelling on a budget and want to truly experience the Dominican Republic without all the fluff, this hotel is a safe bet. Monique and Steven along with their staff are very friendly and accommodating. Because it is a small hotel you can't help but feel welcomed and that you are apart of their family. The beach is a likely a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel and can be very hot, though it may seem crazy, you can take a "motoconcho" or motor taxi outside the hotel. It is not a long journey to the beach by motorbike and very affordable if you are adventurous. I will admit the first time can be scary but Sosua is small and quite safe to travel this way on motorbike. Downtown Sosua is also a five minute walk and you can enjoy all the local restaurants and nightlife. If you are a seasoned traveller and want a clean, safe, affordable place to lay your head then Hotel El Colibri is a great place to start your Dominican paradise adventure!!
