The Ocean Club, a Luxury Collection Resort, Costa Norte

nothing good

We’ve spent a lot of time vacationing throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, but this was our first trip to the Dominican Republic—and it absolutely delivered. From the moment we arrived at Ocean Club Costa Norte, the staff made a lasting impression. Some of the friendliest, most attentive people we’ve come across anywhere. Everyone—from front desk to beachside service—was genuinely helpful and always a step ahead. The resort itself feels like a hidden retreat, tucked into a quiet part of Sosúa. It’s peaceful, beautifully kept, and has a calm, private feel that made it easy to unwind. The beach is gorgeous, the ocean is warm and clear, and the saltwater pools quickly became one of our favorite spots to relax. Food and drinks were consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Dining here never felt like an afterthought—it was something we looked forward to every day. Rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and many offer jaw-dropping ocean views. Waking up to that every morning never got old. The Veuve Clicquot–branded Sun Club deserves a mention too—it’s a fun, stylish space that gives the whole resort experience a little extra energy and uniqueness. It’s not the easiest place to get to, but once you’re there, you’ll understand why people rave about it. Incredible service, beautiful setting, and the kind of relaxing vibe that’s hard to find. We usually try new places for each beach trip—but this one’s already on the list for a return visit. Can’t recommend it enough.

The staff are amazing & super friendly. Very accommodating and attentive to your needs. Restaurants have an amazing variety & great quality. You in a serene environment that makes you feel at peace
