My stay at waterfront playa Alicia was short, just 1 night stay, me and my couple rented the bungaló #15, it was okey for the price per night, my only complaint was that the water tasted so salty, idk why, I sent an email to the host and he told me that it’s something normal in Sosua. But me and my party enjoyed our time in Sosua, we went to cabarete our first night and it was amazing, the second day we got breakfast in the waterfront restaurant, it was good, But my friend was given a bread that was literally moldy, we spoke the situation with the Waiter, I don't remember his name but he was very gentle, he apologized and they changed the dish for a new one and they gave us a considerable discount for the inconvenience. Services is good, I’m a Guest service manager in a 4 stars resort, so, I know about service. The host was very helpful and attentive, beautiful grounds, and we loved the beach!

Thanks for your review. While we work hard to keep everything neat, some times things make escape from our hands. I’m glad you had a great experience in general and that minor issue with your breakfast was solved in a timely fashion.

Great place to stay and dine. Our experience started out with a wonderful welcome from Ariza, wonderful service by Warren and many others. The manager Melbyn was excellent as well. Best views for dinner in Sosua overlooking Alicia Beach. Ariza was so helpful getting our bags to the room and getting us settled in.

Went for dinner with hubby and a friend. The atmosphere was magical with the hanging lights, mild seabreeze and crashing waves sound. Our attentive waiter Juan paired our choices of appetizers (seafood casserole, caesar salad with shrimp and Caribbean Lambi (conch snail)) with great white & red wines. We had the grilled lobster, ribeye & roasted octopus, sides of tostones: all dishes were delectable, an explosion of flavours. The main complaint is about feeling to burst cause we ate too much great food!!! Would definitively recommend for anyone coming to Sosua.

Great ambiance, mediocre food, terrible customer service. We ordered the salmon, red snapper, tenderloin and Angus burger (all pricey items). Salmon was ok, red snapper overcooked and dry and tenderloin overcooked (ordered medium rare and got well done). The burger was not edible, dry, hard and like a gym mat. We didn't say anything about the fish and steak, but we could not eat the burger, so we sent it back. They took it away and didn't bring anything back for over 30 minutes. We all ate our food (which half of it came cold) and waited and waited, everyone finished their meal and when we asked again about the burger, they told us that before they brought my daughter the replacement burger, they needed to serve a table of 14 that had just sat. We asked for the manager and his response was "we took it off the bill"; however, they left an 8 year old without dinner. I told them I rather pay for it but get us a rushed burger...not even the manager cared. They first tried to tell us that they didn't know we wanted a new burger (she had had one bite and sent it back right away, who would not know that she still wanted to have dinner!). The manager was rude and pointing his finger at my face and continued to tell me that they wouldn't bring her a burger until they brought the food to the 14 person table that had just sat down. They left a child without a meal. Unbelievable!

We (3 couples) had a Valentine’s dinner there . All of us are rather disappointed. For some strange reason they had a different (limited) menu, never mind the fact that every single dish, whether appetizer or main plate was mediocre or worst. We ordered crab cakes (tasted like made from sawdust), shrimp tempura (unappealing) and mixed ceviche (just OK). 3 of us ordered surf and turf at almost 3000 pesos with taxes. The meat wasn’t edible. Hard like a shoes sole and lot of fat, the shrimps dish was undercooked. In addition to the mediocre food the service was slow and inattentive. This was not the first time in the restaurant as we spent every winter in Sosúa. The food, the prices and the service (all the older English speaking servers were replaced with only Spanish speaking personnel). In my opinion, except for an attractive location with arguably the best view of the Puerto Plata and Sosúa Bay, don’t expect anything of a better quality.

Just came from lunch there and got hosed big time by Willy the waiter.Our food and drink came to 27 dollars but they took the liberty of imposing 18 percent tip and 10 percent tax of 28 or 29 dollars for 47 dollars american . SLEEP well Willy. Unfortunately we were going to have dinner there on Tuesday for a birthday dinner, but absolutely not now.

I want to let the owner know that yesterday one of your waiters lost you 5 customers because they didn’t want to open the terrace! It had been raining in the morning but in the afternoon it was sunny. We asked for a table on the terrace and he said no. We couldn’t believe it we then walked to the other restaurant who was glad to take us ! I want the owner to know as we spent £280 dollars with food and drink that could have been spent in your restaurant! I am in hospitality and I wouldn’t turn anyone a way if it meant making money in my restaurant

This restaurant is located above Playa Alicia to which it is connected both physically and commercially (if you spend at least 1500 pesos, the beach umbrella and chairs are free). We visited the restaurant for dinner as part of a group of 12 persons. We had cocktails (great classic margarita) before the other guests arrived and we ordered the meal. I had the grilled red snapper with vegetables and roasted potatoes and accompanied my meal with a glass of white Italian chardonnay. The food was served timely and was tasty; the prices are reasonable. The most attractive feature of this restaurant is its location. We had a table overlooking the water and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.

The views, the drinks, the ambience, the service and especially the food were exceptional. Our family of 5 had dinner here and we got several appetizers, mushroom croquettes, octopus ceviche, grilled octopus. Our son had the short rib in the most delicious sauce, other son had the red snapper, I had the Mahi Mahi, shredded pork taquitos, and my husband had the whole red snapper. Would absolutely recommend. (Also there’s the sweetest heart-swing that my kids were obsessed with)

This spot is great for any time of day! We came for dinner but we were early & got a chance to see the amazing view. The food was incredible, very large portions, & our server Juan was very attentive, kind & made our experience that much nicer. This is our second time here as we are vacationing from Canada & we will definitely be back next year!!! Gracias ☺️

This place is great for lunch, dinner, and spending what you want. From a burger or sandwich, to a grilled fish or lobster. We were attended by Luiyi Miguel, who advised us great. So much our pleasure, we repeated the next day, having everything included in the hotel!

Great meal with an amazing view of Playa Alicia. Our waiter Braily, although new, was friendly, helpful and accommodating. I had the octopus meal, so delicious 🤤. Will return again to enjoy the meal at the beach. It’s an option where you get a beach chair, food service delivered so long as you spend 1500 pesos/pp.

Waterfront has been up/down/all around over the 11 years I've lived in Sosua. You can't beat the location, but location isn't everything. I dined here last month with a friend. We were disappointed in everything except the sunset. First of all, you need to know that the prices listed on the menu are pre-tax, which is why the numbers are so weird. Maybe they think by listing pre-tax prices, it won't seem so expensive. I don't get it. We added on the tax and found out it is expensive. Very. We ordered carefully. We ordered a manchego cheese croquette appetizer to share, and we both got salads. The croquettes were gummy and barely edible. We each tried one and then set them aside. My dining companion ordered the peach salad. It came with 4 slices of slimy canned peaches. Not what we expected. I ordered the Caesar salad, dressing on the side. It had exactly 6 croutons and the dressing was straight out of a bottle. I asked for no bacon, but there were bits of bacon everywhere. However, the service was lovely. We had a not very good waitress, but then the hostess took charge and she was phenomenal. We found out it was her first night on the job, so kudos to her!

Great spot. Fantastic view of Playa Alicia. We wanted a table by the railing.. but none were available. So we sat down and started looking at the menu. The waiter came by about 10 minutes later and said he just had on opening, so we moved to a more senice view area. We ordered our meal, and while we were waiting, they brought out a sampler of a delicious stew. Food arrived it was very good, the chicken fingers were lightly coated and did not taste greasy. The shrimp Alfredo was done to perfection. Great food, wait, staff, and view.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary. It started with the gentleman that greeted us, he wasn’t very friendly. The waiter we had was very slow and not very knowledgeable. My husband had the Dominican meal. He loves rice and beans. It came with a dish of canned pork and beans. Who serves that in a fancy restaurant. The sauce on my steak was so spicy I couldn’t eat all of it. Overall given the hefty prices and slow service, I was not impressed. Oh and they never even acknowledged our anniversary 😏
