Villa Mar Sosua

Proche de l'aéroport et des petits restaurants

Pas de climatiseur

Es limpio y buen precio

Los perro y el mal olor a perro no me agradó

I chose this place because it was convenient for my dogs, around is a patio. The Dominican personal is nice.

Very disappointing and uncomfortable experience I had a very negative experience at this place and would not recommend it, especially if you are traveling with pets. The listing stated that the property is pet-friendly, which was the main reason I chose it. I arrived late at night with my four dogs, small breed, Jack Russel. The staff saw us, said nothing, and allowed us to check in without any issue. At that moment, everything seemed fine — the patio garden was actually a nice feature and suitable for the dogs. However, the next morning the situation completely changed. As soon as my dogs were outside, they naturally reacted to other dogs on the property. Immediately, I was met with a very hostile and aggressive reaction from other guests (mostly German residents). People were shouting things like “quiet” and “leave,” creating a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming atmosphere. Shortly after, the owner approached me in an accusatory and rude manner, saying it was “inappropriate” (“gemein”) that I arrived with four dogs. This was shocking, since: the place is advertised as pet-friendly no one informed me of any restrictions upon arrival Instead of handling the situation professionally, I was told to leave. The atmosphere during breakfast was equally unpleasant, with clear negativity toward me and my dogs. At one point, another guest even described the situation as “grausam” (cruel), which reflects how tense and uncomfortable it felt. To make things worse, I was later accused of damage (curtains and window), which I was not aware of at all. If anything had happened, I would have addressed it immediately. These accusations felt unfair and unsubstantiated. As I didn't notice anything what would my dogs do, they were with me all the time. They are well educated. Anyway a dog also feels very well the negativity! Clearly here it was directed towards us!! Additionally, the property itself is quite outdated and poorly maintained.

They had a restaurant right next door and the location was like 4 mins walk to the beach

The pillows and blankets felt like they weren't washed they were sticky ,it was disgusting, the window were not to secure bugs easily got inside ,they didn't not charge through the website so we had to come up with the money on the spot which we were not informed of

The location: Villa Mar Sosua is the hotel closest to the beach: one minute walk! Additionally, it's only 5 minutes from the Caribe Tours Station. The neighborhood is quiet and the hotel itself is a hidden gem! The charm: The place is rustic and that makes all its charm! Decorations are all made with natural materials like wood, shells and fabrics. I'll definitely stay there again!

The bathroom towels are very used and need to be replaced

Close to the beach

No AC, couldn’t pay with credit cards

Leaving.

No air conditioning plus Dominican heat makes for a miserable stay. My fault for not fully reading the property description I guess, but there's really no excuse in this day and age, especially at this price point. A ceiling fan and a single open window just doesn't cut it. Air conditioning is not a luxury anymore. I don't know what those other great reviews are about, but they're certainly not for this place. Do yourself a favor and stay at a cabana if you need a place for the night.

I had a great stay at the Villa Mar Sousa. The check in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. Nice clean bathroom. Also, you have safe to store your valuables. However, the room had no A/C only a ceiling fan which you could adjust the speed. The lighting in the room is something that could be worked on. However, overall it was a good stay.

Lighting and no AC

I was so pleased with my experience at Villa Mar Sosua that I ended up staying twice more on my 3 week trip traveling around the DR! BEAUTIFUL property, cutely decorated rooms, and very kind staff. As a solo female traveler in the DR for my very first time, I was a bit nervous about safety - and I felt SO SAFE here on this property. Parking was easy, and they have a restaurant on site too (though I didn't end up getting to try it).

If you are a solo female traveler, I don't recommend being out & about in this area after dark. I definitely stood out as a white person & got quite a few looks as I was walking around, there aren't many tourists in the neighborhood (which personally I appreciated - it felt REAL to me in a way touristy areas don't). Also one of the beds I stayed in was pretty hard, but the others were great! The rooms are absolutely adorable.

The staff was very nice and helpful, the location is near to the bus company caribe tour

I would love to have had air conditioning.

Closeness to the beach.
