Having travelled to Cabarete three times in the past, this wasn’t our first trip to the DR but was our first to Sosua. We stayed at Casa 22 which is attached to Casa 21 where our hosts, Marc and Saskia run both their inn and Casa Veintiuno, the best restaurant in Sosua.

We were greeted by Saskia along with their three friendly and very well behaved dogs. After welcoming us with complimentary rum drinks, Saskia escorted us to our wonderful room, the Glamor Suite and gave us a tour of the beautifully maintained property along the way.

Being a couple who enjoys gourmet dining, we were impressed not only with the food but also with the professional and friendly staff. The team worked seamlessly together to make sure each guest was attended to and at no time were they intrusive. The food was creative, very tasty, beautifully presented and bountiful. We had the opportunity to chat with the head chef for a while and get her take on how she expertly sources great ingredients. The cocktails were tuned to our liking and the wine selection was lengthy. The owners, being Belgian, also maintain a wonderful variety of Belgian beers.

The decor is elegant with simple lines and colors complimented with oil paintings and furnishings. Our room had a lovely and large soaking tub with a great view of the greenery outside. The pool areas were nicely appointed with plenty of clean towels, chaise lounges, umbrellas and a massage cabana with linen privacy drapes. The pool was clean and well maintained with a very relaxing spa-like audio track playing in the background.

Saskia referred us to several restaurants to allow us some variety in our dining but our favorite was Casa Veintiuno @ Casa 21 with the very welcoming and fashionable Saskia hosting each night.

We wanted to visit some of the restaurants we liked in Cabarete and it was an easy 700 peso cab ride in the evening. Cabbing it to downtown Sosua was a quick 300 peso ride when we wanted to be “in town.”

Two beaches are easily accessible from the inn, Playa Sosua and Playa Alicia. The former is lined with small shops and restaurants and is a shallow beach. The water was clear and warm with mild waves. Playa Alecia was a deeper beach with plenty of space, clear , warm water and great beach waiters who will get you chairs, umbrellas and drinks (for 500 pesos plus drinks). We preferred Playa Alecia but both were nice.
We hope to return to Casa 21/Casa 22 again. If we were to stay in Cabarete, we would certainly make the trip to Casa Veintiuno @ Casa 21 just for the dining.

Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I normally do not write reviews in general, however I have to say what a wonderful place and experience at Casa-22 in Sosua ! First, this boutique hotel is modern in design and on a quiet block off the main road, very close to Sosua beach, walking distance. The rooms are fantastic, very comfortable and well kept. It is what you would like to come back to after spending a lot of time out. The staff are excellent, the most accommodating I have experienced here in the Dominican Republic. We could not of asked for a better host of Saskia & Marc, they are wonderful people in all ways. Very accommodating and helpful with information you require and great suggestions. I stayed in the Royal suite, I highly recommend this room for everything it offers, but all rooms are very nice. You would not be disappointed with any room there, trust me ! The restaurant Casa Veintiuno is one of the best restaurants we've eaten at in DR. Great quality, with creative dishes that taste so well, you will not be disappointed ! Even the breakfast served is outstanding. Overall the place is Excellent with great service, Food & location ! I do plan on returning ASAP....Thank you to Saskia, Marc & all the Staff who made our short stay a memorable one !

My job consists in a lot of travelling and thus spending most of my time in hotels around the world.
We selected Casa 22 for holidays with my wife and 6 year old son as we wanted to avoid the "all inclusive" experience and have some quiet and good family time.

We could not have chosen better!!!

Casa 22 is one of the best hotels I ever stayed in.
The quality of the room, its size, the equipment in the room, the location of the hotel (5 minute walk to Sosua beach), the swimming pool, the water treatment system allowing guests to drink water from the tap without any issue, etc. Everything was better than expected.
It started with the E-mail sent to us just after confirming the booking online, to ask us some details about ourselves, our food preferences and allergies and our dressing gowns size (I never experienced that before).
At arrival time, we were welcomed by Saskia and Marc who gave us a very warm welcome and have paid attention to every small details during our entire stay to make sure that we were happy.
The small size of the hotel made it very pleasant as we have had the feeling to be very special guests during our all stay. Every day, we combined visits to the beach and stays at the swimming pool that we almost had to ourselves every time.
In addition to being very efficient, the cleaning staff made a point to fold our towels every day in a new creative way with special characters appearing every day on our 6 year old son's bed which made him smile every time we cam back to the room.
On top of that, the restaurant (Casa 21) managed by Saskia and Marc and accessible directly from the hotel is a very high standard restaurant for lunch and dinners. And the breakfasts served in this same restaurant are of equal quality with fresh fruits and juices every morning.

All in all, we could not find any flow in our one week stay in Casa 22 and we hope we will have the chance to stay there again.

I can not recommend enough this hotel.

A big thank you to Saskia and Marc, you made our holidays.
