This was my second time staying at the Galeria because it's close to everything plus it gives you direct beach access. This apartment was very clean, comfortable and i really enjoyed my stay. Communication with host was good. I definitely would recommend this place.

The place needs some minor repairs. Beds are fine but living area furnishings should be replaced.

The pictures posted are NOT what the condo really is like. Upon arriving the condo wasn’t ready for quests. There was a large broken glass window with dangerous jagged sharp edges which was removed a couple days later. The refrigerator wasn’t turned on, silverware tray was filthy, two of the three drawers in kitchen were all broken down from what appeared to be termite infestation, the trash can in kitchen was grossly filthy so bad that I didn’t even want to go near it— so I put it in the rather dirty and foul smelling utility closet out of sight. The couch had a protective cover over it that was filthy and badly stained. I asked the manager of the unit if he would have it washed - he said it would have to be dry cleaned but didn’t make any effort to do so. I ended up covering it with a sheet and made do. The sheer drapes were literally falling down and looked terribly shabby. The ceiling in the bathroom actually fell down on a my first Saturday there and was repaired the following Monday. The light in that bath did not have a cover over it -just the exposed light bulb, I asked if a cover could be obtained and the manager said the owner has the condo for sale and he doesn’t really want to put money into it. The glass wiindow insert on the above stove cabinet actually fell down on my forehead resulting in a laceration. I did persuade the owner and management to give me some compensation which I am greatfull. The showers and tub were dirty with what appeared to be soap scum, which I insisted the cleaning girl come to clean which she did the next day. The beds had ugly blue and white striped ill-fitting sheets - not even a nice lightweight bedspread to express a good first impression. There were many issues with the condo. It is in need of a good cleaning and much tender loving care. After a couple of days of me personally cleaning the condo and not letting the falling down drapes bother me I finally was able to bring myself to a somewhat settled state of mind and think about the nice weather, wonderful people, and sights. I actually wasted 7 days of my stay either personally cleaning and waiting around for the workers to take care of much needed issues as broken window, fallen bathroom ceiling, dirty bathrooms, etc. This stay ended up being a big learning experience for me. That being to give those writing reviews about their stays the benefit of the doubt. My stay was all of March 2019.

This condo is located right on the beach in a quiet area of town with everything within walking distance. The condo was an excellent value though in need of minor repairs. Overall, I'm happy to have found it!

Loved the complex. We spent a whole month enjoying the area. Would definitely go back. Pool and beach easy to access. Close to all amenities. Lots of good restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. Condo had a good supply of quality towels & bedding. New pots & pans in the kitchen. Great weekly maid service. Comfortable beds. A few problems with the unit - but the property manager reacted very quickly to fix things once we made it known. New patio built next to the beach access while we were there. Great area to relax and view the beach. Excursions easy to book and interesting to partake in. Note that credit cards are not always accepted for the excursions. Very cheap to take the gua guas with the locals to Caberete (30 pesos) & Puerto Plata (50 pesos).

Location, grounds and beach definitely a 5star. Condo is very nice but in need of upgrading and repairs. The condo was very dirty upon arrival and we spent Christmas eve and Christmas day cleaning as no cleaning service was available during holidays. After sleeping in my clothes for 3 nights we finally got new sheets and pillows as the ones on the bed were stained and torn. We wasted 4 days of our holidays meeting with maintenance and cleaning staff as there were numerous things to be fixed. After contacting the owner he did his best to accommodate us but it wasn't until 11 days, 2 days before we left that the condo was livable. Maintenance did a great job repairing the air conditioner, dining room light, new shower head, new sink strainer but it took 11 days to get window coverings. With rotted window and patio door sills, water had leaked in and we insisted that the molded and stained curtains be taken down as it was making me sick and being on ground level, everyone could see directly in the condo. I am still on an antibiotic for my chest from the dust and mold. Maybe from the broom closet filled with old molded curtains, pillows and rags. Regardless, it was very musty and we couldn't open the windows as there is no screens. Every kitchen cupboard was filthy, we washed enough to use, coffee pot leaked but they got us a new one, not a decent pan to cook with, but again they got us a new one, smashed wine glass in the cupboard and a bag of leftover potato chips. Dresser drawers were dirty and last rentals clothes still hanging in closet. Water jug sits on the floor instead of a cooler and the worn out garbage can has no lid which attracts flies.(requested a new one but never got it). Broken bedroom lamp, dirty oven, no dishtowels or a sharp knife or clean cutting board. The list could go on and on but I only have 642 characters remaining in my review. I honestly don't think the owner knows what kind of shape this condo was in, that it was the managers doing. It was not cleaned properly before we arrived and have 51 photos and numerous text to back up my story. We have been travelling for 25 years, once, sometime twice a year, but our first time with VRBO. Hopefully this is not a common situation as we would think twice before renting again. Here's hoping the company reaches out to us. The property could be a little piece of paradise if it was maintained properly. We debated for almost 2 weeks to write this review but for the price we paid!!

I enjoyed my stay at this condo. It was clean, neat and was exactly what I was looking for. The staff from the security to property manager were awesome. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend this apartment for your sosua vacation. Apartment had everything I needed from plenty of towels to kitchen supplies. The water pressure was low in the guest bathroom shower and the internet worked but a little slow. But I had a great time staying in this unit. Everything was in walking distance bars, restaurant, and beach. Hopefully it is available for my next visit in august. I think I've found my go too spot in sosua from now on. Really appreciate the hospitality by everyone.

I had a great time in Sosua. The property was better than expected. The security staff was friendly, as well as the property manager. The owner is very accessible and friendly as well. The property was clean and safe. Very quick walk into town, so there is no car needed. Our only issue is the main toilet didn't work so everyone had to use the bathroom in the master bedroom and the master bedroom's shower pressure is very weak. Outside of that I would stay at the property in a moment's notice.

Arrived to air con off in condo - air con turned on and blasted with moldy air with black stuff landing on the masterbedroom bed. We had to buy disinfectant spray to spray the heck out of the air con so I could sleep without getting ill. At 430 am the next morning we awoke to the hot water heater spraying hot water onto the floor for quite a few hours and flooding the hall way, bathroom and guest room where my 70 year old dad was staying, Good thing we had no electrical things on the floor! Security helped clean up the mess and it was temporarily fixed that afternoon and permanently fixed the next day. Villa needs some TLC for the wall cracks and ceiling cracks which are unsightly. Curtains and rods need to be replaced and repaired as they don't close properly. Patio bottom doors did no close so we had to put a chair across them to keep the warm air out and cool air in. The air cons needed a deep cleaning as you could see the filters were black and full of dust and mold. To end our vacation my 70 year old Dad was assaulted and mugged on his way up to breakfast alone to Don Andre's up the street, which we had walked up every day without issue. We had left him to go on a horseback ride and when we arrived home later that day he was still waiting for the tourist police to show up to give a report, and of course they did not ever show up. The restaurant is 200 feet up the street and we were very concerned that this wasn't a safe place to stay after that and were glad we were leaving shortly. Overall, I think that Sosua is a bit seedy and needing a better show of police security around our condo - we will stay in Cabarete next time we go back, but if we had to reccommend this condo we would have to say that families should be very cautious and be aware of their surroundings, even though we were they seemed to single out my Dad as he was alone and looked like an easy mark. The security were very helpful and caring about our issues, and we appreciated them. A little bit of care taken in repairs would make the condo much nicer as neighboring condos seemed to be better taken care of. The dresser in the master bedroom was musty so we did not leave our clothes in them and the shower needed to be replaced as it trickled instead of sprayed, very difficult to wash your hair and rinse it.
