The condo itself is very modern and comfortable. The complex is well maintained. The infinity pool & semi-private beach was the icing on the cake. Tim, the owner, is great. We were staying at his other place at Hispaniola Villa and just happened to bump into him one morning. We were leaving Sosua for Santo Domingo the next day and he told us if we didn't like Santo Domingo, that he would offer us to stay at his beach condo, Hispaniola Beach. Sure enough, Santo Domingo was not our cup of tea and Tim held true to his word. We were back in Sosua the next day and enjoying the calm, relaxing beach life once again. I definitely recommend staying at either one of Tim's properties, but Hispaniola Beach should be your first option! Thanks Tim and we will be back sooner than later!

My family and I just returned from a week long vacation at Hispaniola Beach located in Sosua, Puerto Plata. About the unit it is located in Sosua and has its own semi-private beach, but is actually private since no one hardly uses it so it's great because it's all yours. The sand in rock free and the water has great waves and no rocks on the bottom. The infinity pool is huge and right in front of the beach. Both the pool and the beach have great views of mountains of Puerto Plata. The unit is just the way it's described brand new and huge. AC works great as well as all of the other appliances. The unit has a washer and dryer on site, which is great for washing and drying your cloths before your return trip home, one less thing you have to do when you get back... The security in great and always can be seen both during day and night. The cleaning lady Altagracia is awesome she is a sweetheart and is very professional. The unit has a safe for your personal items. Wifi and cable keeps the kids busy. Sosua is great for its dinning and nightlife check out Jolly Rogers for good hamburgers and drinks also Waterfront is a great place to eat. Cabarete is the next beach town and is a 10 min ride. The nightlife in Cabarete is awesome, check out Mojito bar for great sandwiches and great drinks. Casita Di Papi is a must for a nice seafood on the beach. If your looking to do some snorkeling or looking to do some scuba diving check of Pablo Santos at www.scubadivesosua.com/. We did a dive with him and it was great he's fluent in English which helps and the prices were great. His staff is top notch. If your looking to get away from the all-inclusive resorts the is the place to go. The great thing about the place is that the owner Mr. Tim Booker frequently stays there so you know everything is going to be in working order. During or time there Mr. Booker emailed to see how our vacation was going. As much as I want to keep this place a secert, I have to say if your planing a trip to Sosua this is the place to rent. Just a reminder if your looking to party into the late hours of the night this is not the place for you. This is more of a relaxed location. During our week there were hardly saw anyone other then the secuity after 7pm. This is a great place for being low key. Thanks Tim my family and I had a great time and were already planing our return trip to Hispaniola Beach.

Upon entrance to the community your led on a corral walkway passing the infinity pool with a picturesque background of the ocean and mountains. The condo followed suit with an amazing open floorplan and a state of the art kitchen to boot. Every room had marble flooring with oak accents. The rooms were large with flatscreen tv's and had private baths. The back porch was perfect for relaxing after a day of snorkeling the reef located just off the condos private beach. Although we could of spent 7 days enjoying this paradise we had to venture to town since it was our first time to Dominican Republic. In town we found a diverse food selection that made it hard to chose the next meal since EVERY place we went had amazing food and customer service. The locals were very friendly and ready to barter on anything you fancied. Sosua beach was worth a visit as you can enjoy the culture and maybe an amazing grilled snapper delivered to your chair on the beach like I did. We also did a sport fishing trip for an unbelievable price and caught a dolphin(mahi). All in all the only thing I wish I could of changed is having more time here.(next year for sure!)Thanks again to the owner for answering all my questions prior to booking and letting me experience this paradise.

Thanks for the great review. We take great pleasure in helping people to have their dream vacation and are working to make every detail perfect for our guest.

We stayed here for 3 nights, Jan 5 to 8, 2014, and we enjoyed it very much. The condo itself was great, flawlessly clean, like new, stylish, well-furnished. I like to cook and bake, and everything from the knives to the pots were top quality. The pool area was one of the most beautiful we'd ever seen, a gorgeous color with nice furniture. Later in the evenings (after 8), we had it all to ourselves. A bonus was how pretty the beach was just 30 feet from the pool, complete with a pretty curve of rocks, a nice sandy area, and fun waves. The only cons were that we couldn't quite figure out the Netflix on the smart TVs but that was probably our error and it wasn't as easy as we'd hoped to walk all the way along the beach to the large Playa Sosua. There were some places where the sand disappeared--maybe we were at high tide. Best to drive or catch a motocycle taxi ride--about 3 minutes. All the staff and security folks were very nice We loved having laundry right in our unit and the very large beach towels were a nice luxury. I'd definitely recommend it and would return for sure!

Immacualte 3 bedroom 3 bath condo on the water. TV's in every room and high speed internet. The beach is quiet and secluded. The pool is spectacular. There is some construction going on but we only heard it a couple of times during the day. Easy walking distance to town, restuarants, and night life. The owner arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport and I recommend it. The driver became our conceirge and it was very nice to have the local knowledge. If you just want to relax and ger away from it all this is the place. I would recommend it to my friends and relatives and I hope to rerurn as well.

Truly an amazing location and Condo, super secure with simply the best amenities of a gated community. Will be returning next year, I travel to Santiago twice a year and looking foward to getting away to Sosua on every visit. Tim Bookers properties are simply the best they set the standard for what luxury rentals should be. Thank you for everything, Jay and Michelle

My 20 year old daughter and I had our best vacation stay ever. And we travel a lot to great, expensive places. Like any top rated hotel, the property, room layout, and amenities were great. The differentiator is the gated residential feel: no crowded lobby to walk through, extreme privacy at a pristine beach only a few yards away, a fine dining restaurant a few steps down that same beach, and access to our own cook everyday. Our family prefers access to local communities versus a closed resort feel, and this was perfect. One step outside the gates and we were smack dab in the middle of an authentic Dominican small town with locally roasted chicken (with vinegar) that brought us back pretty much every other day. A drive 20 minutes away in either direction gets you to more fine dining.The people are relaxed and go out of their way to make visitors feel welcome, frankly, because they need tourists and security officers are everywhere. The only downside was the presence of construction workers on the far end of the property since work is still underway. But there is no machinery - ie there's literally a bunch of guys with shovels and picks - so that was no deal breaker. The manager was responsive and made sure every need and question was addressed. We're coming back; next time with my husband, when our daughter has her winter break from college.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you very much and please come again.

My husband and I had a fabulous New Year's getaway to Tim's condo, and I haven't stopped recommending his place and Sosua since we've been back! The condo is beautifully appointed and looks exactly as it does in the photos on the listing. Everything is clean and new, and there are plenty of towels, linens, kitchen items, etc. We enjoyed not being in a hotel but having the daily maid service. The pool is lovely and was maintained on a daily basis. We had a great time swimming in the ocean off the private beach - it was truly a picture perfect beach! We walked to town every day, and also had the chance to do a few other excursions: to the 27 Falls and Cabarete Beach, among others. Our trip had several weather-related travel issues but Tim and Leandro, the driver who Tim offers as a service to his guests, were really helpful in making sure that everything went well for us regardless! Definitely use Leandro if you go - I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Tim for a great vacation!
