Sosua bythe Sea is very nice and right on the sea and is an attractive hotel and very reasonable. It is one of the few hotels with a beach in Sosua (they share it with Casa Marina). It is right in town and walking distance to everything. The dining room is good and they offer a fantastic buffet breakfast

I only see a few people there every time I go which is often. Water is rougher than the Main beach but this place is clean and quiet and maybe more suitable for romance.
Villa Chessa is quiet with NO motoconchos nor fruit vendors on loudspeakers with a lovely pool, a great breakfast and wonderful lanscaped property. It isn't close to anything but it is private and QUIET compared to downtown Sosua which I would give a plug nickle for as far as staying there. It is only a couple of minutes by either car, taxi or motorconcho to all the NOISE. All I hear is constant horns, motorcycles and loudspeakers on trucks selling stuff.
If you go to LaRocca try to get the LOCAL menu so you don't pay the higher price that they charge to tourists. I think that they call it the "CLUB" menu. Personally the food is just ok there and nothing special in my opinion. Actually the food isn't that great at all in Sosua so if you are looking for cullinary delight you are in the wrong place.
This Hotel is as close to the "happening" disco "High Carribean" as any other Hotel in Sosua. Just farther away from all the tourist traps, Hooker bars and Noise.
Or try Confressi or Costambar on the other side of Puerto Plata.
Obviously jazzcom has never been to Sosua by the Sea, it is very quiet far from noisy conchos and hookers are not allowed. The club menu at LaRoca is absolutely reserved for locals and is different from theregular menu.I strongly disagree with him about Playa Chiquita I lived 50 metres from this little inlet for a year using it for a dip almost every day and in no way can it be compared to Playa Sosua or the Casa Marina and SBTS beach. As for dining, if you want to sample Dominican cooking which can be a delight go to Restaurant Central in Charamicos it is a great Dominican experience.

The Steakhouse is ok.
