Today I read some very good reviews of this hotel on tripadvisor.com. Apparently it is a single woman operation. Lots of praise.

Is the place still in business? I have not heard about it for quite some time. The single woman who ran it for many years, very successfully, sold it several years ago. Since then I have heard nothing about it in Sosua or seen it mentioned on DR1. I have walked by several times and have seen no activity.

Is it still in business as a hotel?

Default Still there
It is still up and running and managed/owned by a woman name Deanna (sp?)
It is also for sale. A friend was looking at it 2 weeks ago but found the asking price exhorbitant. $600K.

It's not a bad place. Small 'quaint' you might say. A bit pricey but certainly a lot cleaner than some other hotels less than $25 a night.

It is still operational....I received an e-mail from the owner recently with prices, etc. It sounds like an affordable, comfortable, quaint option. I like small operations (quaint as some would say) and one of the travel books I bought recommended it. I'll post after I stay there with reviews.

Cheers, Rebecca

We stayed at Tropix at the beginning of January - excellent! The rates are reasonable, breakfast awesome, and grounds beautiful. Deanna will take fantastic care of you. She really cares about her guests and goes all out to make sure you have a good time. The first day she recommended we go up to Cabarete for dinner at Casanova's. We were on our honeymoon and this was a perfect place for a romantic "welcome to the DR" dinner.

My only caution if you stay at Tropix - check out your window screens and make sure no holes for mosquito's to get in. We got bit up pretty bad one night.

ps - I'm surprised to hear Deanna is selling the hotel. She seemed pretty content in Sosua running the place.

Default Sale
Being for sale in the DR just means if someone comes up with the right money, it's for sale.
