This small boutique hotel is well run by a German gentlemen and his wife. The wife is from Costa Rica so she is bi-lingual. They and the staff run a tight ship while keeping the place cozy. It's away from all the riff-raff in the town and is a block away from the nices beach in Sosua. NO VENDORS and... More

I am a little hesitant to write this as I am afraid Hotel El Rancho will become so popular I won't be able to afford to stay there in June when I come back to Sosua. I stayed there 19 March - 27 March. The location was ideal to Sosua nightlife, restaurants, Mel Tours and a great little beach just... More

I`ve been to El Rancho on and off for short periods, and the place is excellent for its budget. Hard to see someone that had no hot water and didn`t tell the staff, then posted about it on TA, so unfair to the H industry. I did call staff once for a minor fix and it was done within the... More

Stayed in this hotel in hotel in Feb 2012. Spent a couple of nights. The hotel is located in a quiet corner not far away for the main streets. The staff is friendly. The rooms are very basic, but clean. The negative part is, that I didn't have hot water for my entire stay. I don't mind showering with cold... More

We came to Sosua to visit friends and they organised a room in "El Rancho" for us. The hotel is right next to the beach and really quiet. The pool is located in a beautiful little garden which is a real oasis from the busy dominican life on the streets. We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was built in... More

What an extraordinary experience. The hotel is small but very cozy and warm and very clean. The people of DR are famous for being friendly, but Mayela, Pablo and Jenny at the Bar were there to make me feel like family. The prices are very reasonable, and it is just 4 buildings away from my favorite semi private beach in... More

I found this place by chance because, the hotel I orginally was stay at was a hell hole. I stayed here for four days, while it is small the staff are very helpful. The poolside garden is beautiful and clean. They serve a good selection of food at a reasonable price. I plan to stay here again during may next... More
