Sousa info pls
Hey guys; hoping to be freshly divorced within the next couple of months. (court date coming up) And I plan to celebrate my single status with a trip to Sousa. Thinking april or may, when does spring break end over there? (I'm too old for that much action , 47) I've done the Boca Chica thing a few times before I remarried this same one I'm divorcing again (long story don't ask) And I understand from reading these forums, that Boca Chica is a little sister compared to Sosua. I speak enough spanish to get by, and am comfortable in traveling and staying in DR by myself. So with that said, I'd like some recomendations on a place to stay. I'd love a place with an ocean view,with a balcony or patio. Is there a beach strip with hotels? I don't know if this is practical there or not, I don't necessarly need or want a resort or all-inclusive, A pool would be nice, AC too. I'd like something with easy unrestricted access to the beach and the local bar/club resturant strip. I would want to be able to entertain "guests" without any major hassles. Of course decent security as well. My typical day probrably would start fairly early 8-9am (can't sleep late) with a good american style breakfast with a pot of coffe. then off to the beach (or pool?) to find a shady tree or cabana/umbrella and read a book for a few hours with a swim or 2 between chapters, lunch, few drinks, maybe entertain a friend for an hour or 2, nap for an hour or 2, dinner, nap, drinks, etc, etc., then bed, and repeat next morning. No daytrips or that kind of adventure needed. 6 or 7 days of this is what the doctor ordered.
So where should I stay? Don't want to spend a fortune, but not looking for a low budget vacation either.
Thanks in advance.

There is no spring break worth talking about, but Easter week is crazy with locals, so you would want to avoid that week.
There are no areas such as you describe in sosua.
Cabarete might fit the bill for you, although it's more geared to the young sporty crowd and costs a fair bit more than Sosua.
The thing is that there is no strip, such as you mentioned, in Sosua.

I got the impression Sosua was way better than Boca Chica, I was there in 95-96 and I enjoyed it. I stayed at a mid size hotel 20-30 rooms, that had a pool and bar/resurant on site, I was hoping to get the same with a view of the ocean, but thats not mandatory. I'm thinking some place
with ac, pool, resurant and bar on site or real close, would work, Some place I could have a guest, I could walk or get a cab to the beach for a couple of hours if need be. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I would say the strip in Sosua is Pedro Clisante between Seacrets and La Roca.

casa marina
just left the dr a week ago. loved casa marina. 3 1/2 star rating. rooms could use updating but the rest of the resort is excellent. This is all inclusive and food was excellent. 2 beaches at resort. one with activities, kids, noise, etc. the other is much quieter. walk out the gates of the resort and you are in sosua. also walking distance to beautiful sosua beach. as for "overnight guests", can't say that i tried having one. but you will certainly find lots of overnight guests within walking distance.

There are very very few ocean front rooms in hotels in Sosua.
That's a Cabarete thing, but, Sosua might still be a better place for you, if you can live without the oceanview.
And yes, Sosua is way better than Boca Chica.
