Beautiful Get-Away

A beautiful find in a wonderful location. The manager and owner were exceptionally easy to work with. We met wonderful people (locals and visitors) and even went Latin dancing at Cabaret. Sosua is a perfect place to hide and retreat from the world or go enjoy the local scene. The main beach is active and full of things to do and great food. Playa Alicia is quiet and gorgeous little beach (look up the history) and we were able to relax and enjoy the sun. Food was excellent everywhere we ate but if you prefer to stay in, the grocery store has everything you need. We felt safe the entire time we were there and thoroughly enjoyed our time. If we could change anything, it would be to have stayed even longer.

Another Vacation In Paradise

My husband and I just spent 3 weeks at Los Balcones. In 2022 we also spent 3 weeks at Michaels unit. This location is a little slice of heaven. The view is spectacular as well as the proximity to all amenities. Playero grocery store is a short 10 min walk. As well as restaurants and bars and stores. We travelled by public bus to Puerta Plata for the day. Wonderful place to meet fellow Canadians who become long term friends. Also Michael is a gem to deal with from start to finish. Rafael is also fantastic! To read a more detailed restaurant review, see my 2022 review. Thank you again Michael and we will be returning for sure. Mike & Lisa Saint John, NB Canada

Great location on beach

Property has direct access to Alicia beach, short walk to Sosua beach. The washer dryer in unit was great having. Porch is a great spot to watch sunrise and sets. Security was great. Snorkeling on Alicia beach over to right side farther from complex wall was great, Sousa snorkel reef directly out from middle of beach where lifeguard stand is. Also went fishing and to 27 waterfalls. Service at beach chairs and umbrella 10 dollars for the day, included beverage / food service. Wish we could have stayed longer. Host was very responsive.

Paradise in Sosua

The condo was great. The views are amazing. We loved the pool. Michael was very quick in responding. Security staff, gardener and other guests made us feel very welcomed. We met a sweet couple that own there, Eddie and Betty, they took us to breakfast at one of their favorite spots right on Encuentro beach. We ate at Flip Flops twice. The Waterfront Restaurant was very good as well. We did a party catamaran snorkeling trip, Puerto Plata day trip, and a Dune Buggy tour. All were amazing. Word of warning…the sand is super hot! We have been to other islands and this was the hottest I have ever walked on. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous condo. The public entrance to Playa Alicia is at the other end of the beach and few people venture down towards Los Balcones. Like having a private beach! And excellent staff at Los Balcones.

Wonderful spot

We had a great stay! Very clean and welcoming and the view was superb. The beach is only down a staircase from the property. There is a pool on the grounds as well as greenspace. The condo is very lovely and had everything we could need. Checking in was a breeze and Michael was a great host, he answered any questions we had very quickly. The property is in a great location, close to the beach and any amenities. There were lots of restaurant options near by and the grocery store was only a short walk. We only stayed a night but we'd love to stay longer next time. I'd definitely recommend this spot for vacationing, it was quiet and private but everything you want is close by. Thanks!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Just returned from spending 18 days at Los Balcones! Trip of a lifetime for sure. Michael made this trip perfect from the time of booking. He arranged for the property manager Raphael to pick us up at the airport. $20 US for the ride. The pictures do not do this location justice. The sound of the ocean was so relaxing. Michael was always available for any of our questions. Condo was spotless and had all amenities you could ever need. Manny the gardener and all security guards made us feel like family. Downtown and grocery store were a 5 min walk. A quick walk down the beach was The Waterfront Restaurant and The Alicia Grill, both awesome eating spots. For our fellow Canadians you need to check out Jolly Rogers as its a bar/pub owned by a Canadian with great food. Also the Checkpoint is owned by a Canadian. Sosua Beach also a 5 min walk is an awesome location for snorkeling and immersing yourself in local culture. Also ask someone about visiting Wilsons on the Ocean lol. We highly recommend this rental from Michael if you are looking for an A1 vacation from start to finish. We will 100% be visiting this location again, but will def be a much longer stay next time. Thank you Michael for a truly amazing vacation. Lisa & Mike From New Brunswick, Canada

Overall it was a great stay. Michael responded quietly and discription of the property was accurate.

The view was incredible. Is a very quiet and relaxing place. If that's what you're looking for that's exactly what you're getting. Beach is a 2 minute walk and all restaurants and supermarket can also be reached on foot. To bad we were there raining season and did not get to go to the beach.

Crystal clear ocean with soft sand.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 11 days at Michaels Los Balcones condo. (C1). It was really hot when we visited so we used air conditioning on and off but most of the time we just opened up the balcony doors and windows throughout the condo and found it just fine. That's what we went down there for....the heat! There is everything you need there...you may want to stop at the Playero (grocery store) to pick up toilet paper, laundry soap and a few staples like milk and bread, butter, coffee and wine! Michael can arrange for Jesus (lovely man) to pick you up at the airport and stop at the Playero on the way to the condo. Don’t get sugar! Lots there. There is a two cup coffee maker there (6 shaken tablespoons - strong but good) and the coffee Santo Domingo Is delish. The wifi password is on the back of the router which is beside the t.v. Very, very small print so be prepared with the glasses ! The bed was very comfortable and linens and towels were all freshly laundered and ready for use. The pool is the best. We spent a lot of time on the deck in the shade and often took our wine (in plastic glasses) down there to watch the sun set. This is a very quiet location. No parties or loud guests. The beach is ....no kidding...perfect. We are beach people and this had almost everything. We rented 2 lounges and an umbrella from Toro on the beach who started at $10.00 but we settled on $7.00 for the day. We heard other people paid less and some more so whatever works for you. Remember you’re there for that beautiful crystal clear water and soft sand....not to get yourself in a knot over a chair. The sand is UNBELIEVABLY HOT so you might want to wear runners instead of sandals. No kidding. The waves were pretty high and rough a few days of our stay but then on other days there was hardly a wave. The Waterfront Restaurant that over looks Playa Alicia had the best chateaubriand for two we've ever eaten! Alicia Grill had the least expensive breakfast $7.00 total for pancakes, bacon, eggs, coffee and water. Ask them to put mango in your pancakes! Michael kindly provided a small cooler you can take to the beach with you and we left two ice packs. The town of sosua is quite busy with cars, vans, scooters, motorcycles and ....yep...”Ladies of the Night”. The restaurants and grocery store are all within walking distance but it was suggested to us not to stay out too late after the sun had gone down. We felt safe but always had our eyes open. Hope you love it!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Obrecht

Retiring Canadian couple from Waterloo, Ontario

Why they chose this property

After hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 many properties in Sosua lost their beaches, so Los Balcones is a unique property with a direct access to the excellent Alicia beach.

What makes this property unique

Perfect location: right on the beach and walking distance to all amenities in town.
