In Sosua - El Colibri - Highly Recommended
I stayed at the El Colibri last week, and I highly recommend this place. First of all the owners and staff are great. Very friendly, and helpful. Rooms are great! Clean and comfortable. It is a very secure gated complex with a fantastic pool area, open air bar area and good food for breakfast and lunch. The location is only a short walk or motoconcho ride away from the beach. But just outside the secure complex you have many choices only steps away. For example, a small supermarket, little bars and cantinas all within 2 blocks. A great place for dominicana chicken on the corner, grilled over the coals. Restaurant El Batey, where I had a fantastic Filet Mignon in a mushroom sauce, El Toro Bar to the left as you leave the hotel. This hotel is very family oriented and quiet. Not too chica friendly if you plan on entertaining many girls, they don't go for that. But certainly, perfect for taking your girlfriend or wife or family there. Expect to pay anywhere from $30to $50 US per night, they have TV, A/C, everything you need. Car rental and even a language school if you want to brush up on your spanish. Beautiful manicured grounds, a lush tropical paradise. And the pool is wonderful, I am missing this place already. www. elcolibri . net . They speak English, Dutch, German and of course Espanol.
