Super Pola is Sosua's big-format supermarket, located on Calle Antonio Javier in the centre of town. Two things are worth knowing before you go: the store is in Sosua, roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive west of Cabarete, and it has been rebranded as Sirena Market Sosua by its owner Grupo Ramos, which has phased out the Super Pola name across the country. Locals still often call it Pola.

Shoppers rate its fresh fruit and vegetable section, a seafood department with both fresh catch and frozen options, and an in-store bakery, and the store has hosted extras like a supplement shop and a mobile phone counter. Grupo Ramos renovated the building as part of the takeover, including a new roof.

For Cabarete-based expats it is one of the closest large-chain supermarkets, the kind of place for a big stock-up shop rather than a daily top-up. Grupo Ramos also operates the Sirena Go app for online grocery orders and delivery.

Good to know

Is Super Pola still called Super Pola?
The store has been rebranded as Sirena Market Sosua by its owner Grupo Ramos, which phased out the Super Pola name nationwide, with the Sosua branch reported as the last to change. Locals still use the old name, so you will hear both.
What does the store sell?
A full supermarket range with standout sections shoppers mention often: fresh fruit and vegetables, a seafood department with fresh and frozen options, and an in-store bakery, plus general groceries, and it has hosted extras like a supplement shop and mobile phone counter.
Who is it best for?
Expats doing a big weekly or monthly stock-up. As one of the largest supermarkets on this stretch of the north coast, it carries a wider selection than the smaller shops in Cabarete, so it rewards a planned trip with a car or taxi.
Where is it located?
On Calle Antonio Javier in central Sosua. Note that despite appearing in Cabarete listings, the store itself is in Sosua, not Cabarete.
How far is it from Cabarete?
Roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive west along the coastal highway, traffic depending. It is an easy trip by car, taxi or guagua, but not a walkable errand from Cabarete.
What are the opening hours?
Hours are not confirmed for this listing, and the rebrand may have changed them. Large chain supermarkets in the DR typically open roughly 8 AM to 9 PM daily; call +1 809-571-4000 or check the Sirena website (sirena.do) before a special trip.
Is English spoken?
Not confirmed. Sosua has one of the north coast's largest expat populations, and staff at big supermarkets there usually handle basic English, though checkout needs little conversation.
What payment methods are accepted?
Not confirmed for this listing, but card acceptance is standard across Grupo Ramos supermarkets and cash in Dominican pesos always works. Carry some cash as backup.
Can I order delivery?
Grupo Ramos runs Sirena Go, its online ordering and delivery app. Check within the app whether the Sosua store delivers to your address, coverage on the north coast varies.
Who is Grupo Ramos?
One of the Dominican Republic's largest retail groups, operating the Sirena, Sirena Market and Aprezio store brands nationwide. Its takeover of Super Pola Sosua brought renovations including a new roof for the building.
How does it compare to shopping in Cabarete?
Bigger range and stronger fresh departments than Cabarete's in-town supermarkets, at the cost of a 15 to 20 minute drive. Many Cabarete expats do a weekly run here or to other large stores in Sosua, then use Janet's or La Rosa in town for daily needs.
Any tip for expats?
Combine the trip with other Sosua errands, banks, hardware and specialty shops are nearby, and bring a cool bag if you are buying fresh seafood for the drive back to Cabarete. Search for Sirena Market Sosua rather than Super Pola in maps apps to get current details.
