Fodor's Expert Review Casa Cosón Residences
Avenida Boulevard, 32000, Dominican Republic
New life has been breathed into this small beachfront hotel, which had been on a long decline, making it a fun place to stay once again and a good place to eat as well. It's attracting a younger crowd, who are leaving happy. All rooms in the two-story main house, including a full-floor suite with a canopy bed and luxurious bath, have balconies; some have ocean views. Other rooms are in separate buildings, including two themed bungalows (Casa Bali and Casita Mexican) that are well-suited to families or groups. Guests have use of a convivial bar and restaurant called Cafe Cosón, an inviting pool, an outdoor massage kiosk, and a wide lawn set with tables under coconut trees leading to the sands. Prices include breakfast, taxes, and Wi-Fi.
PROS
- decor for rooms in main house is artsy and creative
- restaurant with good food
- local blackouts are fewer, but there's a generator when they happen
CONS
- isolated, making a car almost a necessity
- mosquitoes can be a problem here
- AC costs extra
