Sosua Bay Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Sosua

It was really awesome, loved it and would stay at this hotel again.

Pleasant. The view is spectacular. If you like dominican typical food , it is good. You need a reservation for The restaurant with a la carte menú, the issue is that you need to make a reservation between 9;30am and 11:30am.. Impossible to do on date of arrival since check in is at 3pm. Do not accept no as an answer - speak with the captain of the restaurant […] and insist. I did it and enjoyed the seabass entree. I do not recommend the mixed drinks at the bars. Overall, I recommend this place got the price. Enjoy Read more

The staff where very cheerful and helpful. They made us feel at home away from home. Always smiling and humorous. Best trip we had in years.

Two days of a four night stay, our room was not serviced (trash removed, bed made, fresh towels). The other problem is that there was no cable in the entire resort, so nobody was able to watch television!

Thanks to me it was only 2 nights . The only positive about this resort is the gorgeous view!!! I mean it. The key didnt work, the phone wire was ripped off, there were no light bulbs in the lights so we were in the dark at night even after I complained at the front desk. The food was very poor and few selections. Drinks were also very limited. I never […] heard in D.R. Before "no piña colada". Will not go back again! Violet Read more

Service is great, but the hotel itself should and will need a very quality of management it is the only thing bad about it everything else I was very pleased as the group I went to(9 in total)

This hotel for the money was good. Staff was great! Food was, okay. For example if lunch starts at 2 and you don't get there at 2 they don't make more food. So if you were to get there at 3:30 theres little, if not any food left for you to eat. Also they tell you about another resturant down by they water that serves almost at all times, which didn't […] seem so to us. I would say that 85% of the time the chef wasn't there so no food was available. They also have "alternative attractions" such as a gym/night club etc that they didn't tell us about and we didn't realize until the last few days! They also had different shows for entertainment that seemed like no one knew about. I would say the bar is the best part about this resort, they don't seem to skimp on the liquor at all. This resort has potential, but it takes some big changes. Read more

You will have a great time if you go there, without having high expectations. If you have low expectations, then everything will be fine. The physical location of the hotel is fantastic, it's the service, amenities, and the "service" that are terribly lacking. (Yes, I am aware of saying it twice) I would go to DR again, it's beautiful; but I would not […] stay at the Sosua Bay Hotel. I must have gone during a bad time for them or something. Lack of electricity, lack of service, leaky faucets that take three days to fix. By the time you read this, perhaps things would have improved, but if you are accustomed to hotel services here in the U.S. Don't expect it once over there. When this place was at its peak, it was paradise, but that was not the case when we went there. Read more

Will not allow Chicas on the All Inclusive Side

Roomsvoutdated & not very clean. Towel service is horrible the place needs more/new towels. Food is not the best. For the price guess you can't ask for much. Great staff, pool area & security.

With all the bad reviews that this hotel had received I was very worried what to expect. Luckily we were pleasantly surprised. It's not a hotel for party people or those looking for a hotel with a big variety of things to do. This hotel is pretty much a place to eat, drink, sleep and go to the beach/pool. There is not much amination at the hotel but […] with the little amount of staff that they do have we were still entertained. The staff is very friendly and accomodating and the area is a great tourist area with much to do if you don't mind leaving the hotel. The room was not in the best condition but not really much to complain about as long as the room was cleaned and the beds were made. The beach that they have access to is a little uncomfortable to get to but once you're they're it's beautiful. The water is crystal clear. The best part of the trip was the friendliness of the guests. Once you're there for a few days and start seeing the same people we felt like family. Read more

had a wonderful experience while i sasua bay resort. staff always courteous and helpful. english was better than i expected being in a spanish speaking country. I definately plan on returning next year if not this summer. location is the best. grilled fish and chicken is what i recommend at meals. definately no watered down drinks here. awesome.

The resort is really a hotel perched on the rocks to the side of the beach looking at the bay. Great access to the beach and town. We loved our room that had a balcony nearly hanging over the water and had a fantastic view across the bay. It is an all inclusive so the food was adequate but not fantastic as should be expected. Better than previous all […] inclusive resorts there was not the constant music blasting over the very pleasant pool area. Read more

Great location, but unfortunately the service and quality of the food is sub-standard.

I wangted to enjoy the experience of a great hotel at a bargain price. Sosua Bay was just what the doctor ordered. it was clean, fun and had everything one would need to have an awesome time in the sunny Dominican Republic. the Casino was across the street as was the state of the art Gym. id do it again in a heartbeat.

The food was great. You had choices and could have them prepare what you want how you want in front of you. The staff was good very accomadating. Location great right on thwe beach and there are 2 beautiful pools. I wish I could live there year round

Anyone who gives this place a great review has never been to a quality all incusive. The service was OK. The food was just eatable. The drinks were disgusting. But the view was amazing. Overall, not a bad deal for the money, but if you want to really have fun, expect to come out of your pocket for some local entertainment, drinks and food. P.S. visit […] big mommas on the beach for the best fish. Ever. Read more

I had tons of fun. The view with the sun dancing on the sea is amazing and worth the money alone. Great food and friendly service made it a great time. Highly recommended

The hotel was nice. It wasn't the best, definately not bad though. THE PEOPLE AND STAFF AT THE RESORT ARE GREAT, VERY FRIENDLY AND ACCOMADATING. They give attention to detail and treat you very very good. The food was delicious, but after a week it gets monotonous. The beach and view was very beautiful, but the beach is open to the public. If you want […] to sit on any of the chairs or at the tables, they don't belong to the hotel. You have to pay - by buying something from the small restaurant who owns them. I can't complain, but its not a 5 star hotel more of a 3 star. Read more

I was trying to give this hotel the benefit of the doubt...however, you absolutely get what you pay for. I don't know why but the cleaning staff had a very difficult time remembering to provide clean towels and beverages in our refrigerator on a daily basis. The wi-fi was limited to one tiny location in the entire resort. My room key would constantly […] demagnitize. I was cut-off drinking one day even though this was considered all-inclusive. Some of the members at the front desk were so rude & unaccommodating. Even though they boast about having multiple restaurants, you can't even go to the one because the reservations fill up so quickly and you get one chance per day to try and make reservations. I will never EVER stay at this resort again. I wouldn't doubt if this place goes out of business. Read more

I have stayed at this resort 5 times over the past 4 years. this time was by far the worst. It appears the resort is on the hands of new management, as stated by the front desk. The service was bad. The food was discusting. I paid for the all inclusive and extra for a room with a view. I was put in a back building that if you leaned over the balcony […] rail, I could see some water. It appears that they have fired the former head chief and hired people off the street to cook. The food was clearly being reused for every meal. An example is for dinner we had a pork leg. The next day for lunch the main meat was pork chops made from the leftover pork leg. Then for dinner the next night it was the same pork chops cover in gravy or salsa. The did have a person frying on a cook top chicken or fish and a pasta station, however the sauces.were canned. They were no where close to a resort quality buffet, even on the low end. I was scheduled for 5 nights and left after the 3rd. Even for the low prices I would not recommend this resort unless some changes are made to improve the quality. it does have the best location in relation to the beach. Read more

The food is bad and the service is slow

Good place for the price, excellent view.

If your looking for an inexpensive place with a nice pool, good drinks, and great service you should consider this place. (If you have no class and never learned any basic manners, just stay home.) I met all the same people who talk smack on this place. They are the same people who treat the staff like subhuman slaves and repeat their exploits from […] the night before, in front of the young girls serving them. They don't bother to say por favor (or even please) when asking for a drink, nor do they offer Gracias (or even Thank you) I found the staff to friendly and responsive. The food was more than adequte, considering the price we were all paying to stay at the resort. The beer and drinks were cold and prepared with good alchohol and the wine was better than any I have been served in much nicer, much more expensive resorts. And come on people.... it dosn't hurt to tip the staff with a few pesos each day! Read more

I have two complains and the first one is that there is no internet in the rooms. The only internet is in the lobby area and is very poor. The second complain is the reception staff have no courtesy.

I have to say overall I enjoyed being back in Sosua and the hotel is located perfectly in the middle of it all. However they advertise the a la carte restaurants and they were NEVER opened. We stayed three nights and were constantly told it was closed today but will be open tomorrow. When I suggested making a reseravation for tomorrow right now I was […] told I had to come back the following day. That cycle repeated itself everytime. The buffet was good for an AI but wanted to try different things of course. In addition they advertise a partner resort in Cabarete with free shuttle service... Not at all the case. I asked and was told that was planned but it is not happening. Then there were the issues in my room: TV NEVER worked, Phone NEVER worked !!! I of course complained everyday and was told someone would be there to take care of it. NEVER HAPPENED. I had fun because I know how to have fun and do the things I enjoy. The hotels staff at the front desk are just full of crap. The other staff like waiters, servers, the activity staff and especially the bar staff at the beach bar were excellent. Very friendly and courteous. So all in all I had a good time inspite of the problems we had. Read more

Traveled throughout the Caribbean on this trip. This was the worst hotel experience. The staff was completely unresponsive. They lost our reservation, the room was filthy (we woke with bug bites), very few room amenities, and the staff seemed more interested in carrying on personal conversation than tending to business. The food was aweful and served […] cold. The pool had areas of collapsed tile with the area taped off. Stay sway from this place. Read more

After a difficult check in since they didn't have in there system that i pay for oceanview, things were really smooth. No mayor complains. I will recommend the hotel, the hotel is pretty and the view is excellent. No too many activities inside the hotel but they are close enough.

I spent two days at this wonderfull - The Sosua Bay Hotel located in "El Batey" neighborhood. Beautifull Victorian look hotel. Great rates online and delivered as promised. with full buffet breakfast. For a few dollars more you will get ALL INCLUSIVE service. A beautifull look to the ocean in front of it. The staff service was corteous, polite and efficient. If […] you are looking for affordavility for the family this is the place to be with all kinds of water sports at the beach nearby. Thanks. L. D. Read more

pick another hotel.wouldn't recomend to anybody.

HORRIBLE!!! I never write reviews but i would hate for someone to go to this resort expecting a good time. The DRINKS WERE WATER!! they didnt even have Presidente beer(the national beer ) available . i wen tto thepaying bar(although i was all inclusive) because i was desperate and I couldnt even buy a good drink . they had none , no tequila or johnny […] walker or hennessy. what the heck is this? the staff was 80% rude some nice ones and teh bathroom in my rom was dirty. The place has a expectacular view. That is for sure . The food was good only for 1 lunch. Honestly stay away trust me NIGHTMARE Read more

it is a very nice resort but be care full when booking on line cause it may say all inclusive and is not and they are going to ask you for more money in the resort but other wise the place is beautiful.

My son and I arrived there as planned on March 1. Westjet provided an excellent flight to Puerto Plata. Took a taxi to the hotel(1000 Pesos or $25. CDN). Arrived at hotel and they had our reservation ready. They gave us wrist bands for the all-inclusive...yes and drinks included. Had paid a very reasonable price and was fully expecting some other hidden […] charges...but there were none. The food was quite satisfactory and the rooms were clean but not fancy. The staff were friendly. Took public transportation to Kite Beach to take up Kite Surfing. 50 pesos gets you there. You'll be one of up to 24 passengers in a 12 passenger mini-bus. Exciting and thrilling. I would do this again. Good bang for the buck. Read more

I enjoyed our stay in January 2012. Landscape is really well taken care of. I wouldn't suggest this hotel to people having difficulty walking to due lots of level. For others this is a view of Sosua beach that no other hotel can offer. 3 RD FLOOR, OCEAN VIEW! Seems though a lack of enthusiasm from employees.

For an extremely reasonable 14 day rate, I enjoyed a relaxing time in the sun. This all inclusive resort is located over coral cliffs and a crystal clear bay with 1/2 mile beach. So, be prepared for the exercise of climbing stairs to reach 4 different levels where the rooms, amenities and pools with patio chaise lounges are accessed. The architectural […] design and terra cotta colors, with lush greenery and well groomed gardens are appealing to the eye and contributes toward the ability of the cosmopolitan patrons to enjoy privacy or socialization. The buffet, snack bar and a-la-carte restaurants provided satisfying choices, during conveniently scheduled times. The waiters and housekeeping staff were attentive and gracious,. Tipping was well deserved and appreciated. The downtown was within easy walking distance to experience the ambiance of Dominican culture and economic activity. Read more

-was the cheapest listed on the site I searched -main drawback is no internet in rooms, only in lobby -guests also get free use of well equipped gym across the street -very close to beach and main action packed street in sosua

This hotel could use some major updating. The view of the bay is spectacular, but that's about the only thing. Our bathroom was disgusting, did not look clean at all; very old and the towels could use some updating, many riped and terribly worn. Toilet was blocked, tub was also blocked, ac was very noisy, and we ran out of water twice while in the shower. […] Had to towel dry the soap off our bodies. The breakfast...not too inviting, very little selection, i've had better. No direct access to the beach from your hotel. However, the public beach is beautiful, friendly locals. Loved our trip, hated our hotel stay. Read more

angenehm, erholsam, so wie man sich eben Urlaub wünscht.

el hotel tiene una muy buenas instalaciones, pero no tiene coordinacion ya que mi reservacion era para una habitacion en especifico y me dieron otra muy diferente , eso no megusto.

Sen städning av rummet 17- 18-tiden, innan den helt upphörde. Ingen TV Det gick inte att ringa från hotellet, eller till hotellet måste köpa telefonkort. Solstolar vid stranden upphörde att ingå. Inga badhanddukar slutade att ingå. Resturangen som vi beställt mat på hade stängt, som skulle ingå på kvällen. Vi kände hela tiden att vi fick ge personalen […] dricks eftersom vi hörde att dom inte fått någon lön, mer dricks än vanligt. Read more

部屋のコーディネートがとてもセンスが良くシンプルで落ち着いていたのでゆっくり休むことができました。ジャグジーも三つもありよかったです。 ただひとつ残念なのはバーで出されるお酒の質があまりにも悪く普通に飲めたのはビールだけでした。食事は種類は少ないですが、おいしかったです。地中海レストランを予約しましたが、とても素晴らしかったです。

payer all insclusif = le mini bar vide meme pas une buteille d'eau et il faut demander 10 par jour que une buteille d'eau arrive apres 3-4 jeur !! + la TV qui ne funcione pas .
