Ok so first off this is not a resort so if thats what your looking for its not for you. Perla de Sosua is for the person who is looking for a budget place to stay that is clean, secure (needed 3 keys to get from the front gate to your room) and CHICA friendly. It was my first time... More

Perla is a EXCELLENT option for the budget consicience visitor that wants to take advantage of being able to bring back locals(can't do that at an all-inclusive without paying) at an... More

The price does not reflect the quality of this hotel. Furnishings and my room were minimal standard. There is hot water and a refrigerator but the interior of the room definitely needs a makeover. Good feature is the property is gated and guests are given an access key. The place is generally acceptable for the non discriminating person but overpriced... More

It appears that this customer booked made his reservation via a third party agent or online travel web site. The cheapest rates can ALWAYS be found on our Perla de Sosua web sites. Rates from only $30 per night for non cooking very basic studio to $83 per night for a 1,000 sqft two bedroom apartment with living and dining... More

I stayed at this establishment for 12 days in July. True it is a no frills apartment but everything was neat, clean and within a 5 minute walk to the beach. The staff especially Pablo was great!!!

Thanks for you comments, and more importantly your comments regarding Pablo and the balance of the staff. With regards to the kitchen appliances at Perla de Sosua. You should first of all ask our staff for any items not already included in the kitchen. Very often kitchen items are onsite in borrowed out to another apartment or tucked away in... More

I will first warn you that if you are looking for a resort experience, this is probably not the place for you. That being said, it ended up being exactly what I was hoping it would be. I went on vacation in Sosua with a friend for 5 days and wanted a place where we would each have our own... More

First off let me start with the hotel itself. Other than the actual path to the hotel, which is very dark, isolated, and steep, the hotel was fine. It was just as advertised, no frills but adequate. The hotels appearance was fine, the rooms were simple but fine and I felt safe during my stay. There were no power shortages... More

This customer's reply is a fairly accurate description of the events that took place. However a number o 1) I did upgrade the customer to a slightly more expensive apartment as part of the compensation. This upgrade was worth $7 per night or $28 in total as customer stayed a total of 4 nights 2) The customer paid for the... More
