Where to stay in Samana

My experience at the resort was extremely positive. We were very well received and accompanied by ambassador Eddyl. There were several of us, which was certainly a challenge, but they rose to the occasion, meeting all our needs, including the late check-out, which was very helpful. First, I must highlight the impeccable structure of the resort; everything is very well maintained, modern, and impeccably...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A Place Beyond This World... Our Home in Paradise Our family just completed our ninth visit to Cayo Levantado Resort since first discovering this magical sanctuary in May 2024 , and what continues to amaze us is that every single stay becomes even more extraordinary than the one before. Cayo Levantado is not just a resort...it is an energy, a feeling, a renewal of spirit that you cannot find...

The resort was absolutely amazing with the best service I have ever experienced. Every single staff member was incredibly helpful. The plunge pool villa was perfect along with the food at each of the restaurants. I would recommend Cayo Levantado for anyone looking to relax. The place is a hidden gem and hope to return one day.

We had an incredible experience at the resort. The ambassadors we so helpful and attentive. Lorena and Rafaela were outstanding. The food was delicious. Sometimes all-inclusive food is mid but Cayo was excellent. The drinks were fabulous. Top shelf alcohol. The resort was basically empty due to the season. The beach was incredible. Loved every minute. We stayed in the beach villa 4103. I would recommended...

The service was awesome!!! Especially Santa, Angel and our ambassador Emanuella.

Overall atmosphere was splendid and employees provide outstanding service.

Our overall stay was very good and the staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived at approximately 2pm but our room was not ready, so we were checked in, our luggage held, and were told we could go to the buffet (all-inclusive) and use the resort. Room was big, clean, and had an incredible view! The beaches were gorgeous & staff cleaned area daily, including any Sargassum. The buffet was open...

Please bring back animation & increase your dining options. Certain staff needs to be trained on how to treat guest particularly the pool bar.

In my opinion, there is a great staff whish is good for all customers, they makes me feel welcomed during. Y stances. In addition, my mother and I, will recommend for others, especially my family, because, one of the benefitsis the Spa, this was a greater of all things that we enjoyed, so thanks again. Afterwards, we went to relax and we received the best assistants. As sum up, in this hotel every...

This property is very nice,, the small refrigerator doesn’t get cold at all,, and ice is very scarce there. I called Room service twice in two nights asked for ice to have for my warm drink, water, or soda and they said that the bar didn’t have ice.. I really wanted a cold drink with my dinner those night,. The facility is a very nice place, but just need to upgrade on those few situations.

This hotel is for relaxing. They have daily lounge hours when they bring in a singer at night (around 8-10pm). The pool closes at 7pm but we had plenty of pool/beach during the day. If you have food allergies, they are amazing!! Ariel and Letizia were super helpful on this. I didnt eat from buffets due to cross contamination. The first day they asked me for preferences. I could order for lunch during...

The hotel is nicely located and service staff was fantastic. Loved the pool and the beach. However, the limited food availability and sometimes quality was not great as well as locations for food, having my 82 year old mother coming down every day to olas was a challenge as there was no elevator available to take her down there.

Amazing Food and great prices compared to the other spots in the area

This is great hotel at an outstanding location. My first trip to the Dominican Republic could not have been better. The beach and the surrounding landscape is beautiful. Service is friendly and the food is amazing. I had the two meals per day plan, which was more than enough for me. There was a wide selection of food options wih new items added every day. The sandy beach is simply beautiful and clean...

Really enjoyed our visit at this resort. Pleasant and clean accommodations, wonderful staff, beautiful scenery and quite decent food. Being close to town, (short, easy walk from resort) was great. Definitely felt safe doing this. Would stay again.

It's a paradise with a serene landscape. Excellent location and view, a must go. Outstanding service by the reception staff and the manager. It was a pleasant experience. Food was much better than any other place in the region. I am a strict vegetarian and to my surprise they had very good variety of veg food, you just have to explain your requirements to them. Having said that, my advice is that you...

We enjoyed our stay. Samana is a beautiful small town with mountains, green trees and beautiful bay. And this hotel is on the best location. We love the stunning view from balcony, as well as walking distance to town. The package price we paid was so great, plus the email about services changes, we're expecting a quiet stay in paradise. We didn't like the idea of over eating/drinking at all inclusive...

Absolutely gorgeous location and great food!

Such a nice place, well looked after. Located in the jungle. Beautiful views!

The staff made you comfortable and special Jisander always on top of the game if you looking for a quiet place to relax this it

I love everything about this place Great staff and great service

The place is priceless the view is remarkable and the environment is so so peaceful and beautiful wonderful stay here!

It was a piece of heaven in the upper part of the DR mountains surrounded by the most serene views of the palmed trees and vegetation, and the wild nature that gets to the tops of the hills of the country. Simply a Zen with wooden soul..

It is hard to explain how amazing this lodging is. I agree with other reviewers—if you are looking for a five star experience, you need to stay in a fancy hotel in Samana. If you are looking for breathtaking views, a rustic environment, and an amazing element of privacy—you are looking at the right place. Every room feels like it own bungalow, the included breakfast was delicious, and the smash burgers...

Nice location, good breakfast, rooftop with potencial to party :) good AC, hot water

They greated us really sweetly since it was our honeymoon. Good breakfast. Really helpful staff but couldn't speak english. Really nice facilities and hot water.

small but nice room, guys are ready to help with everything!

nice room close to the center. nice views and staff

Nice staff, very clean room and hotel, quiet place (although we couldn’t sleep because of the barking dogs)

Loved how comfy the bed was and staff was super friendly.

Very nice small hotel with basicaly 25 clients maximum. Comfy bungalows without aircond but with a direct access to the pool or private beach. The hotel is owed by a nice couple of frenchies therefore the restaurant is good, except maybe for breakfast that I would juge as minimalist... Affordable prices, beautiful garden and scenery on Samana's Bay. Highly recommended for tourists looking for good...

We stayed at Las Ballenas Escondidas Feb 2015. I have only just got around to writing about this little hotel. However this does not mean I haven't thought about it, recounted stories of how wonderful it was, dreamt about the tranquil and beautiful gardens, we saw Whales from the beach! The Individual rooms where set comfortably apart and were nestled in amongst greenery . Not to mention the excellent...

A really spectacular scenic location with exotic tropical gardens. This place is a gem. Well appointed rooms and bungalows in a quiet and totally natural environment. They also have a very nice infinity pool and a semi-private beach down below. Prices are really reasonable for such an unique place. Managers Delphine and Jerome, a young couple from France are both nice and friendly.

Wonderful place. All amenities worked perfectly, the location is perfect for walking around, and the view is spectacular. Highly recommended!

Staff very friendly, the room excellent condition. I love it rate it 10 at a 10.

Wonderful hotel We have been to this hotel several times and we are never disappointed. Staff is always friendly and we always enjoy our stay. We will definitely return.

Excellent service and security 24 hrs. Gated entry to parking area. Staff was great. Pool is excellent and open until 10:30 pm with poolside bar.

The property location is just incredible, and the view is absolutely breathtaking! The hotel definitely has potential, and with a few tweaks, it could be much better and take the hotel to another level. Changing the white bulb to yellow would create a better atmosphere instead of a clinical feeling. There is a lack of a trash can in the room, a sign that says "do not disturb", an eye in the door for...

Supposed receive a room upgrade, they didn't or they just ignored it. Thumb up for Mr. Rogelio in their restaurant, he corrected all the cook mistake. Watch out their prices. One shot of Hennessey V.S.O.P cost you 1,000 pesos at their rooftop bar🍸.

Positive good hotle for price range, excellent breakfast, friendly staff who served breakfast at 07:30 although breakfast start at 08:00, balcony room with amazing view. Negative some rooms need renovation, breakfast start at 08:00, too late if you plan whale watching at 08:00. out of town center so only book if you have a car.

The staff from the hotel is very friendly, the hotel is clean and we like the area because is close to the city

We had an amazing stay at Figaro in Jan2021. The view is gorgeous for sure but the staff is also super friendly and willing to help! The breakfast is great and the staff team also sets up bbq on the roof for weekend days, which makes the atmosphere even cozier. The room was great, bathroom was very clean and functional and the WiFi worked very well! Definitely recommend!

our first week at the hotel was a bit of a rough start. but after a few days of settling in, the service began to really cozy up our stay. Wanda at the reception is very welcoming and helpful. She will try her best to make you feel at home, whenever you have a problem don’t hesitate to reach out to her. In the kitchen you’ll have Joel to assist you with your particular needs. The personalized service...

My 3rd time visiting Puerto Bahia and 3rd time at Bannister, and i would always stay at Bannister and recommend it.

This hotel is beautiful. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Perfect Forrest and relaxation.

Loved it Highly recommend! There was a bit of a confussion with our reservation and we were given an upgrade, a couples massages and 10% discount in our meal fot the inconvenience.

The hotel staff clearly made the stay a must come back experience.

The view was beautiful and the place super quiet. Great place to relax, good food and drinks.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bannister. The hotel grounds are beautiful, the food at the restaurants exceeded my expectations and the view of the sunset was beautiful. We all wanted to stay another day.
