The Best Budget Hotel in Sos?a
Rocky's
Rocky's gets my vote. I was just there a week ago. Clean sheets, warm water and A/C for $US30. Plus you have the very reasonable restaurant with good food. One of the biggest pluses is the many ex-pats that hang out there. These people are very nice and a wealth of information about everything Sosua.

I second Rbh44's sentiments. Rocky's may not be a 5-star facility, but the rooms are comfortable and affordable, and the food is consistently good.
Moreover, the cast of characters that frequent Rocky's provide enough interesting and thought-provoking entertainment to equal any you'll find in an all-inclusive. There is no place that I know of on the north coast that can match that particular attribute.
One point I should mention, if anyone is faint of heart, or can not handle straight-forward talk and honest opinion, then it would probably be best to avoid Rocky's. If and when you ask a question of that crew, you will an earful, and you might not always like what you hear.
If you require kid-glove treatment and having your feelings pampered you might want to consider looking elsewhere. But if you enjoy a good mix of friendly and fun-loving people, with enough local knowledge to fill a book, then definately check out Rocky's.

SO, where do you stay Kyle Trump, the Ritz Carlton of Sosua?
Value
Value was the theme here. Clean sheets and warm shower= personal hygine
Good food and good company = good time
That's what Rocky's provides.
As for chica mongering, who cares? What people do is their business and not my place to judge......

New Garden Hotel for me
If you and your friends are single travelers then you don't have to look any further than the New Garden Hotel........it's Ground Zero for anything you could possibly want on a vacation at this 37 room resort with it's central location and a minute walk to the bars, discos and restaurants.......and ten minutes walk to Sosua Beach which is beautiful

Hate to burst your bubble, Don Pedro, but your assumption about the safes is incorrect.
The digital safes in hotels have to have another form of entry, otherwise, each time a guest forgot the combo,(which happens quite often) you'd have to replace it.
The digital safes usually have a plastic cover that hides the keyhole.
NO bubble burst there, my friend.
At least one can narrow it down to an inside job if your safe is breached. And you can fit your laptop inside.
No key to lose and no laptop stuffed under your mattress - sounds good to me!!
Your food is far better though, Marco....
Well thanks, but you do know that I sold Rocky's and am retired now, don't you?
Now I fart around with computers and travel as much as I can.
Life is good.
Don Antonio's
Just reviewed the last page of 7, so I don't know if this hotel has been already mentioned (but it wasn't listed on the poll), if it has forgive me, but I don't feel like going through seven pages of info.
I have found Don Antonio's, to be nice as far as a clean and decent budget hotel. Near the center of town, for about $35/night, don't know if the price goes up for the high season. A/C, ceiling fan, hot running water in the shower, small refrigerator for essentials, a nice pool, security at night with parking on grounds. I have stayed there three times in the last 6 months or so, and have stayed in three different rooms and were pleased with them all, one with a King size bed, the other with two Queens, and one with a Full. Most importanly a real nice management staff, headed by Obie, a real and true gentleman.

Condos Dominicano & Condos Plus
My last trip to Sosua I had the pleasure of staying in the heart of town at Condos Dominicano.
Amazingly quiet, beautiful grounds with large swimming pool on Wolfgang Mozart, 1/2 block from City Hall, SuperSuper, and Pedro Clisante. Studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom accomodations, and at least when renting for a few weeks or a month, much less than the single room rates quoted above at Rocky's and others. I did not get air conditiong but some units there have that too, and will next trip next year. ~$600 month (~$20/day) gets you a two story, one bedroom unit complete with fridge, microwave, cooktop, kitchen, living room, bedroom, two bathrooms. I paid DOP$200 extra for on-site staff laundry. High speed WiFi was free, I even rented a laptop and Skype phone from them for my trip so I didn't have to worry about losing mine to thieves. Very, very nice. They are guest friendly too as long as you respect others right to peace and quiet. They have a nice website with live cams.
Hands down they would get my vote if included in this poll.
P.S.
I was told Condos Plus is owned by another member here, anyone know Eddy?
