Wow, Garden by the Sea is a little Oasis in Sosua. Nikki is an incredible host, and really makes the effort to help her guests feel comfortable and welcomed. The rooms were very clean, and it was so easy to feel relaxed. My bf and I stayed here after backpacking around DR a bit, and we ended up staying our last week here because it was very comfortable. Thank you, Nikki for being wonderful! We love Bella and miss you both already :)

Very quiet. Nikki was very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was great. We stood only 1 night so we didn't get to explore the area much. We headed to Cabarate for dinner and ate at OJO great restaurant on the water.

We are extremely pleased with the hospitality of the management, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. Each day, they offer a different menu for just an additional $10. The pool is open until 10 PM, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation. After 10 PM, everything is peaceful and quiet, allowing for a truly restful stay. We highly recommend this place! 10/10

I only stay for one day on a 13 day vacation. The power went out for more than 12 hours. Furthermore, there was no plumbing when the power went off. No ability to wash your hands or flush the toilet. It felt like being in a “HotBox”!! The hostess said that the power was out city wide, However, in town there was no problem with the power.. I chose this location because of its reviews. Clearly they are not being honest about the reviews..

We would highly recommend and would return again!! Bella was an added bonus, who walked with us to the beach. Gated, secure and safe!!

Peaceful and Relaxing

Nikki’s bed and breakfast is calm and peaceful. I loved our bungalow and enjoyed our time in the pool. Very relaxing and since I’m from the surrounding areas we never did enjoy a breakfast there. I found it a bit pricey but if you are new to the area and scared to travel then it’s appropriately priced. I’d love to return here
