Top Samaná Hotel Reviews
Figaro Hotel Boutique
"Las camas son muy pequeña y las toallas muy duras deberían de ponerla que sea de mejor calida"
Bahia Principe Escape Samaná - Hyatt Inclusive Collection - Adults Only
"Todo estaba muy bueno la comida fue lo único muy repetitiva y no tenía restaurante solo mesa bufet y quitaron el bar de la playa y hay que subir y bajar escaleras para un trago en la playa por lo demás personal espectacular"
Wyndham Alltra Samana All-Inclusive Resort
"The resort was beautiful and very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. One thing to keep in mind is that, depending on the location of your room, you may have a longer walk to the beach and restaurants. The room appliances could also use some upgrades, as the iron and mini refrigerator appeared old. The beach was easy to access, and there were several different pools available for guests, which provided plenty of options for relaxation and enjoyment. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the resort."
