Caribbean Diamond Boutique Hotel

transportation was a bit of a challenge. Trying to get from the hotel to the main tourist area was a challenge. many cab drivers didn't know the location of the hotel.

Not recommended Room good, but not comfortable as you expected for a hotel in the area. It has a smell of humidity, the bathroom full of oxidation in metal parts. There is no desktop in the room so for a business trip is no easy to work there. The breakfast starts at 9am... or even at 9:30 am, so is not recommended for persons in a business trip. Additionally, the menu is limited (just eggs with bread, and bacon) Woman in charge is not helpfull.

We read the reviews prior to booking, so we knew what we were getting. Overall we had a nice stay, as we were literally only there to sleep. We did go in the pool a few times, which was large and adequate. The lounge/bar area was what we expected. Margot the host was very pleasant and helpful throughout our stay. And having some drinks there at the end of the day was convenient. The adjacent beach wasn’t usable during our time there based on the tides and shifting sands. But that didn’t matter to us. The area in general is out of the way, but no too far. We never felt unsafe. We actually liked being more ‘local’ than the other resorts in Sosua. The room was worn and tired, and we never had warm water. But again, we expected much of what we got. So there were no surprises. I liked the overall condition and vibe, since we felt we could do what we want without offending anyone. Everyone associated with the hotel were nice and helpful. If I make it back to the DR, and Sosua in general, I would consider staying here again..

I didn't like waiting ten minutes to get warm water and then having it warm for only two minutes or less. Shower doors didn't close properly ans a sliding glass door feel on my head. The cleaning lady left my room door wide open without my permission. Hard, uncomfortable mattress. They had to replace my door handle completely.

Charming hotel in a quiet location.

Enjoyed my stay Been to Puerto Plata three times. Stayed here each time. I enjoyed my stay. They keep the rooms clean. The pool is really nice. The hotel is close to the beach. If you are looking for nice, clean hotel with a good price. Look no further, I recommend the Diamond Boutique.
