Hotel Paraiso de Colon Amenities
Secluded just outside of Sosua, the 79-unit, family-owned hotel offers no frills and a low-price option to more expensive beachfront hotels. Vacation casual is the mood. Clocks go unwatched, telephones don't ring (although a lobby pay phone is available), and guest-unit televisions are a modest 14 inches. Wireless Internet access is available by the pool for those who still need to check e-mail or surf the Web.

Features
What to expect: Soft lounge music is piped in as pool background music, signifying that a rest-and-relaxation attitude prevails here. Amenity highlights: Surrounded by an expansive deck open to the sun, the large pool provides plenty of cooling and lap-swimming. Most guests also cross the main road running along the north coast and stroll a half-mile to Sosua Beach for a full Caribbean-beach experience.

| The ladie that runs the place is great. The computer was broken and I had to use my laptop, but it was a good deal for the price.

| I booked this hotel for 2 nights and from the web the hotel looked look great. The room itself was ok looked ok. Some of the issues I had at this hotel. I was traveling around most of the day so never had a chance to complain. The front desk was not open all day. 1.There was an odor from the bathroom that was terrible. 2. They did not clean the room and first night. 3. The top sheet for the king size bed was not the correct size. 4. At night they lock the front gate. There is a security guard on duty that will open it however he begs for money/tip once you lets you in. I was told there is better quality for the same price. I will have to try those next time.

| The hotel was definitely affordable, comfortable, and a good value for the money. You can tell it was a very nice resort at one point, but is now a little let go and not near the current popular resort area. The biggest detraction from the place is the lack of dining/nightlife (or more appropriately, there is nothing around except for a tiny german deli and small supermarket). No restaurants/bars/etc. The hotel had no food or beverage service at all. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

| Hotel has great potential for being a low cost alternative for persons who do not want an all inclusive resort type experience. Swimming pool is large, clean, and well kept up. Having said that, however, even a Two star Experience should afford the guest a bed with box springs and linens that are not worn thread bare, and are changed daily if requested. Our room did not, and appeared nothing like the one pictured on the internet. Further, the room should be throroughly swept and cleaned daily, which ours was not. While a minor inconvenience, and one that could be tolerated if the above were not the case, the tv and internet not working during our stay was the "icing on the cake".

| We loved the grounds however it really is a no frills hotel. It was a great place to stay for one night before heading to our final destination. If you don't mind walking in to town to stock up and get fed it is just fine!
