We booked Casa Valeria for part of our honeymoon after reading such positive reviews on tripadvisor.com. This is the best value you can find in Sosua - a quiet, charming place to stay for an EXCELLENT value. Casa Valeria is steps away from Playa Alicia (a quiet beach) and a 10 minute walk from Playa Sosua (the more populated but extremely beautiful beach). The owners - Arien & Diana - were extremely accomodating and helped my husband & I take care of everything we needed to. We also had breakfast there every morning and the food there was fresh & simple. this is a great find, but make sure you book early - we wanted to stay an extra night, but they are booked almost year round!

Wanted to see sosua and was recommended this hotel by a local diving instructer, who used to stay here.
We loved it - extremely friendly dutch couple is running a small 7 room hotel with a pool.
My family realy liked it there. Good food and clean, cosy rooms with aircon, fans and fridge. Two rooms in the hotel has a kitchen, but didn't try that.

My friend and I (both female) traveled to the Dominican Republic for a gal trip. Hotel Casa Valeria was an oasis to us after a series of not so great experiences on on first day in the country. We had reservations at La Punta Apartamentos in Cabarete, but they had electrical problems that forced us to go elsewhere. Next we tried a hotel that we had reservations for later in the week, Hotel Waterfront in Sosua. Again there were problems like no working safe, AC, or locks, so we had to keep looking(overall Hotel Waterfront was dingy, rundown, and uninviting in every way). I remembered reading some reviews about Casa Valeria online, so we walked over and gave it a try. The proprieters told us that they were booked for the weekend, but said that they would see what they could do for us. It ended up working out in our favor. Unlike all of the other places that we had been to, this one had a clean, bright, and colorful room with items in working order. There is a fridge, AC, and a safe in the room. The accomodations are basic but much nicer than you will find at other hotels that charge just as much to twice what Casa Valeria does. The owners ask that you respect that other guests are staying there too because of the way the hotel is set up:hacienda style with a shared area in the center that has a nice clean pool. So, it is peaceful and relaxing. There is a beach down the street about a block away, but there is a much nicer beach only a few blocks away called Sosua beach. It is easy to get to, and there is more to see and do there. I would advise anyone who likes to stay away from all-inclusive tourism and who enjoys getting to know the people who live in the areas that he or she visits. One more tip... the restaurant is also very good. And if you want other snacks or drinks there are two grocery stores right down the street (one large and one small).

I Don't travel much, but this was a beautiful apportionment, my dad and his wife pertussis this hotel in the summer of 2007 and fixed it up a hole lot.

The hotel is in the center of Sosua. but you wouldn't think that you are. Its so quiet, its on a one way rode, so not allot of traffic, everything is just a 5 minute walk away, bank, supermarkets, day trip organists, gift shops, nice and quiet beach, and a hole lot of restaurants.

About the restaurants i don't have allot to tell, my friend and I eat our breakfast and dinner 6 nights p/w at the restaurant from the hotel. And only good things to say.. we were hoked on the chicken and mixed grill,, and as desert, the creme caramel,, mmmmm..

The people that work there, are wonderful. we stayed for 2 weeks, and from day one. they were so friendly and open, to all the guest.

The owners will tell you how to get around in and around sosua, all sow they will advise you witch day trips are your day worth wile.

What i saw of other hotels, or there from a bigger organisation so its very very un personal, or its small and not good taken care of.

in just a few words, its quiet, its personal, its clean, its a tropical oasis and a place you would come back to.
