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..

Nikki is a wonderful host who welcomed us and made us feel like family. We stayed for 11 days and felt right at home. Clean linens and towels. Excellent staff and breakfast. 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

Excellent place to go !!

We spend a week in the "Garden by the Sea" bed and breakfast place. It is an excellent place to rest or as we did to use as place to move around visiting different locations in RD. Breakfast is very good, owner and staff are always ready to help you. It is just one block from a quiet beach, and 15-20 minutes away by car of more crowded but beautiful beaches.

Peaceful and private ❤️

Super relaxing. Super fun. This is definitely a nice location ,if you did wanna bring your family with your kids you can. It’s about 25 minutes from the airport with traffic. Definitely close not too far from a big city, but not exactly where everything is super close, but there is a nice little private beach walking distance from this day and I think that is very great for people who are not interested in traveling the town, Nikki is super sweet, super attentive and is extremely helpful . it definitely is a little paradise away from all the chaotic that you may get from being at a resort for that I chose this place for me and my fiancé. We had a nice reasonable extremely accommodating stay while we adventured out for most of our days. The local security is also extremely nice. Everyone in the area is super welcoming. If you stay here, I would definitely recommend a vehicle just in case you need a late night drink or something you’re able to hit the stores earlier in the day. Awesome stay!
