Absolutely loved it here. Felt very welcomed by Nikki the owner the moment I arrived and she made sure all our needs were taken care of. The property is very peaceful and the sound of the waves of the nearby beach is a plus. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

The place is a little bit out there and if you are not driving it’s very hard to get around. You have to rely on $10 each way cab rides to everything. Room is huge the pool isbt heated. Bathroom was very nice. It’s a quaint hideaway kinda place not for someone like me who wants to be part of the lively action and near the shopping and restaurants etc. breakfast was modest for $10 but the lady is very nice who owns the place. She does have pets.

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.

Excellent host and the property is definitely maintained at five star standards. I'm not a dog person so I'm not a fan of the dog on the property but aside from that it is a definite repeat for me

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
