The villa was awesome! Has A/C in every bedroom and also the main living room and kitchen area so it stayed ice cold day and night! Smart TV’s in every bedroom and also living room which worked great with streaming apps. WiFi was fast and reliable entire stay! Beds were super comfortable and best of all…. The water for showering was always hot! Never had to take a cold shower! The villa is about a 2 minute drive from both Santa Fe and Maria’s restaurants. And only about a 5 to 7 minute drive from the main strip in Sosua. No issues with inviting visitors over either! Has a beautiful back patio area with a pool and bbq grill for outdoor entertainment! Also has Ceiling fans in every bedroom and main living room for added comfort. Host also provides plenty of towels for bathing! This is definitely my new favorite place to stay whenever I’m in town! Would recommend to everyone seeking quality and comfort in Sosua! This is paradise for sure!👍🏾
Excelente alojamiento, apto. nuevo impecable, fuimos 3 parejas y ninguna tuvo una sola queja del Apto. todo funcionaba muy bien, las camas cómodas, cerca de la playa, de sitios para comer, hay un mini marquet cerca . sin duda volveríamos alquilar este apartamento
Excelente alojamiento, todo estuvo 10/10. El lugar estaba limpio✨, cómodo, bien ubicado y con todo lo necesario para pasar una estadía tranquila. La comunicación fue muy buena y todo superó mis expectativas. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme aquí y lo recomiendo totalmente.💯
The apartment is very comfortable and beautiful. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it. The only issue I noticed was that there were quite a few ants throughout the apartment. I hope this can be addressed in the future. Other than that, I had a great experience and would recommend staying here!
I had a great stay at this Airbnb in Cabarete. The location was very convenient, just about 5 minutes by car from the center of Cabarete, where there are many activities, restaurants, bars, and a spectacular beach. It is also close to a windy beach, which is great for enjoying the area. The accommodation was comfortable, a good size, and had everything essential for a pleasant stay. Everything was in excellent condition, very clean, and almost everything felt new. The air conditioning, fans, and fully equipped kitchen all worked perfectly. The property also has a fairly large pool, which was super clean and very well maintained. I never had to contact the host because everything went very smoothly. Overall, it was a very nice and easy stay. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

All I can say is wowwwwwww I walked into the apartment and was immediately blown away by the beauty of the place. It is gorgeous and has a light airy feel to it. The place was immaculate and it has a cute utility room just off of the kitchen. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen and you will find everything you need, right down to a vegetable peeler! The next surprise was the balcony. I honestly did not expect it to be as gorgeous as it was. ( I don’t think the pictures do it justice). The view of the sea and the white sandy beach takes your breath away. The furniture, plants and candles have been put together so beautifully that you will want to sit outside for hours. I actually fell asleep in the hammock. I can tell that the host has put a lot of effort into creating such a beautiful place and I will definitely be back. Jules was great and is such a warm caring person. A true professional who goes out of her way to ensure that your stay is perfect. 10/10 for Jules!

Alex was the PERFECT host! Very kind, welcoming and understanding of what our goals were for the trip. He was communicative before, during and after our stay to assure that we were well taken care of. The most important thing is that he allowed guest to come and go as we pleased without regulation or complaint. The accommodation allowed us to smoke (outside) and chill without fear of being kicked out. I would HIGHLY reccomend this airbnb over anything else! You’re in the heart of the city where youre literally in the mix of everything. There’s literally nothing I would change if I had the opportunity. 10/10 of I may say so myself.
