Casa Marina Beach and Reef, Sosua Dominican Republic

Review of Casa Marina Beach and Reef. Standard Room, Garden view. 2 adults

Our flight was nice and I loved the air bus that Air Transit uses. We arrived and got through Customs smoothly. Our Air Transit rep was there and our bus ride was maybe 20 min to the resort. Our check in went smoothly and only took 1/2 an hour. Rooms are small but clean, water was hot and air conditioning worked. My only complaint with the rooms is there is no coffee makers in them and you have to go all the way to the buffet to get a coffee. Pools were clean and refreshing with many lounge chairs available. There was no wait staff to serve you drinks around the pool area or bars, you had a good 3 min walk to get a beverage. I didn’t mind but sometimes on vacation you want to be spoiled. The food from the buffet and snack bar was good, we always found something to eat. We liked the fact that you could go into A la Cartes as many times as you like. We truly didn't take advantage of the night life, as after a day in the sun and a great dinner we just ended the day with the beautiful sunset and then drinks back at on our room’s balcony.  The staff was great but only had one bartender at each of the three bars. Service in the buffet area was great. The resort had beautiful grounds and was well kept. The view speaks for itself as its looked upon the mountains of Puerto Plata and a spectacular sunset. The town of Sosua is just minutes away and has many little towns with some amazing shops, restaurants and malls. This was my favorite part of my trip. I loved that I could go into this town and live the Dominican life style, feeling totally safe and secure.

All in all, I would go back but I would upgrade to a select room as you get better benefits and a coffee maker in your room. 

This is my second time dealing with Brittney. My husband and I decided on March 21st to take a 5-day vacation and we wanted to leave March 30th to either the Dominican or Cuba and gave her our price point. Brittney got back to us in a timely matter, considering it was Friday night when we sent in our request and Saturday morning when we got itinerary on the resorts, she thought would fit our style. Brittney's knowledge of countries and resorts is what is so amazing about having her as a travel agent, it speaks volume and helped us to make the right decision on destination and resort.  We were booked Sunday and had our itinerary by Monday. We left following Sunday. 

I would definitely book through Brittney again and have already told all of our family and friends about her friendly attitude, professionalism and knowledge. 

Thank you, Brittney, for all your hard work you made our last-minute vacation one for our book of memories.
