If you have never been to Sosua,stay away from the central area unless you like nighttime noise i.e. disco music and motorcycles until about 2 a.m..As far as this hotel goes you had better make reservations unless you want to possibly be asked to change rooms or as I was told with about one hours notice you may have to... more

I have stayed at Rocky's many times over the last few years and while I've experimented with other accommodations I always return to my home! The rooms are not fancy, and were never designed nor intended to be, yet I find them very comfortable, extremely clean and well maintained. Judging by how difficult it can be to book a room... more

This hole in the wall is only ok if you're looking for a puta for the night. It's dirty and noisy, people will bother you to buy stuff from them, the food takes FOREVER, and isn't that good. the rooms are very very basic, which would have been ok, if it was at least clean. the sheets were dirty, the... more

I am now staying at Rockys for 2 weeks. I had my doubts about coming here, after reading so many bad reviews here and so many good ones on Lonely Planet. I don't know what people are expecting for $22, but I think it's the best deal anywhere except Thailand. The rooms are ordinary, clean, safe, central, quiet, cool. The... more

They advertise as basic, but if you have been through military basic you will recall your barracks with fond memories compared to this place Motorcycles screaming all night, raucous music from Bordello next door, need I go on? more

Rockys is definitely "cheap" but not in the term inexpensive. The place literally is "for the dogs" We ordered his "World famous ribs" (not in our world) and waited 55 minutes, quite surprising as we were the only customers except a large dog that begged at our table. The place was in serious need of a good washing and brightening.... more

A friend and I stayed for several days. Yes, the people are friendly if you like living among pimps and pros. The only good thing about this place is that it is affordable. Excellent choice if you're looking for more than a vacation. PS.. watch your valuables here and on the street. more

A rainbow friendly bar/hotel in the Dominican Republic. This was wonderful! As a black man, coming from the states, San Francisco, I was a bit nervous after reading some of the posts on local message boards. But Rocky (Marco) held my hand through it all (literally) and made me feel very welcome. What a first night on the town we... more

I don't know why the TripAdvisor price is listed as $15, bc Marco charges $22USD. It's a decent place to stay and centrally located. Marco does in fact give you detailed answers if you ask him questions. The food, with the exception of the spagetti, was good and not terribly expensive. But it took forever to get there. No exaggeration.... more

I stayed at Rockys several times over the past number of years. If you're looking for a clean, safe, inexpensive place in town you can't go wrong. Marco is a great source of information and will pick you up at the airport. Ted is a character not to be missed. If English is your primary language and you don't know... more
