Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This is a beautiful jewelry store and more. The displays are nicely laid out and the quality of the goods is very high. Different kinds of gold and the prices are reasonable. There is high security and the staff was helpful and friendly. Very impressed with this business.

    While visiting "Altos de Chavón", you cannot miss "The Art Gallery". A small gallery exhibiting paintings, photographies, drawings, sculptures and crafts by international and Dominican artists, even including works by the local students of the "Altos de Chavón School of Art and Design". A quick visit and an opportunity to buy works of future famous artists, encouraging and rewarding their efforts toward their future careers. Enjoy!

    The displays are accompanied by succinct texts not only in Spanish and English, but French and German as well.

    An interesting world map shows the wide extent of amber findings.

    A small display recounts the history of Larimar, and its re-discovery in 1974.

    Free entrance, one stair up from a jewelry store by Parque Colon.

    Leo Diaz is a modern reflection of famous masters seen in major galleries, seen in his revealing strokes that transcend his own dimension. I purchased my first Leo Diaz several months ago and still wonder how the painting draws my attention each time I walk by it, even many months later. His gallery is probably the top one in Sosua, at least of all the ones lining up the street that leads to Sosua beach.

    I had a few minutes to kill, so went for a stroll and was fortunate in where my feet took me. A small but wonderful gallery with a dance studio above...the art being displayed by university students were quite impressive. If they were for sale, I would have purchased any one of the 20-something works of art. This is not unbelievable if you have seen street art throughout the country. Make a point of checking this place out.

    In a tiny aria described by locals as “ mini zona colonial “ we found a few small cafes and a small street that we believe to get alive at night time ( we where told in weekends ) we passed a few times to find the gallery open - and finally managed to get access - to this tiny gallery with few small rooms and a bigger back garden/ yard ( empty when we where there ) the expo apparently change often - and we found the expo well slightly disappointing… though we very much appreciated a few of the arts on display …( see pic ) if you in the neighborhood pop by at evening time as very likely a “ young funky evening place to visit - but daytime well little quite….

    Located in a cool hotel lobby right by the beach this is your perfect cultural alibi when your brain feels a bit fried from the beach. The art is the perfect way to remind you of that Caribbean glory without getting tacky. Sam rolls up the canvas and makes it travel friendly in no-time!

    This wonderful art gallery is so unique and I enjoyed viewing different art pieces from local artist. I ended up buying a painting and ordering a refreshing mojito drink. Good place to appreciate art, culture and bohemian ambiance

    The Arawak art gallery mainly showcases contemporary art and is a rather small museum located on Calle Rafael Augusto Sanchez 53. I enjoyed some of the exhibits and this place is worth a visit.

    If you enjoy art, we found many galleries featuring various types of art in the Dominican Republic. Galeria de Arte Ajoupa was a favorite in Santo Domingo. The gallery features well-known Haitian painters in various styles, all vibrant and exciting. It is well worth a look while you are enjoying a stroll in the zona colonial. We left with three paintings, beautiful and excellent values, and wished we could've carried more home. The owner, a well-known painter himself, and his family were interesting and welcoming. Marie Flore St. Felix, the manager, was very helpful.
