Hotel El Colibri, Sosua

Advantages: caboret
Disadvantages: location

...I used to be a holiday rep for thomson in tenefire north. The el tope was the thomson gold hotel just for couples. People pay an awful lot to stay in these places. Food was fantastic that was offered. The pool area was amazing. The best thing for me was the entertain shows that were put on for the guests by the decidated entertainers and also the reps. The el-tope biggest draw back is situated right on top of a hill and to get to the sea is a big walk down a 100 steps no good for less able. Staff are very friendly and efficient. I would recommend people staying in the el tope. Tenerife north is so much better than the south far spanish but slightly less sunny.... Read review

...We went to dominican Republic for our honeymoon and i can honestly say it was the best holiday we had ever had. We stayed in an all inclusive resort near to Sosua. However we did venture off our holiday resort village to travel into Sosua. When the mini-bus pulled into Sosua, lots of native ladies followed the bus and put their hands through the windows wanting to braid the ladies hair. Whilst walking through the streets locals were trying to sell you anything and everything.This was slightly annoying but the people are so poor and even on the beach one little boy about 5 years old came up to us and asked if he could wash our feet for the equvilant to 5p. I would not want to stay on a self catering basis and it was nice to venture out but also to have the security of an all inclusive resort. On the whole a lovely place,breath taking... Read review
