5 star hotels in Samana Province

The property was ok. The food was ok. There were termites in our room and on the bed due to the cheap wood used on the furniture. The staff took care of it right away but I don’t plan on staying here during our next visit to Las Terrenas. The pool was the best part.

Staff was amazing. A few glitches of inconvenience with the facility like water was out for half a day. Other than that, please place to just relax

The place is great, the staff are very attentive, helpful, and full of energy. The food is very good.

The luxurious amenities exemplary services and prime location are what grabbed our attention to the hotel, We love everything I highly recommend Bahia principe el gran portillo for it's cozy friendly staff serene atmosphere and customer service and the activities is 100. I love Bahia principe el gran portillo, La terrena.

We had an awesome time at this resort. We loved the beach, the layout of the hotel and the friendly staff. My favorite part was that there were a lot of cats in the grounds.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, but somewhat outdated. I loved the beautiful beach and huge pool. I am going to miss that beach with crystal clear turquoise water. They have a vast variety of food options in the buffet. Their food is also top quality. This resort has so many activities that it’s impossible to get bored.

Ubicación una isla hermosa, habitaciones amplias y muy bonitas (villa), comida a la carta, bebidas de buena calidad, personal atento y super amables, cero ruido, buena música. La playa muy buena.

We spent our amazing vacation here in March 2019 and were booked to return March 2020. Sadly, covid made that impossible. We hope to return again as it was a perfect vacation. The rooms, the service, the food, beaches and pools were beyond our expectations.

One of the best and quiet hotel in Samana.

A 'Excelente' super great resort to go to. We had a great week at this great island paradice,... specialy with Edwin, a great animator on the beach. We will go back!

Great vacation place to be if you want great food, friendly service from the staff, great drinks and a nice relaxing vacation where you can do anything you please!

Room 301. Malcolm/Patricia Jones We did not have hot water for the last three days of our stay. We did report this on day one and day two, Day three the day we were leaving we were told it was going to be fixed. This supposed to be a 5 star LUXURY hotel. We will be seeking recompense for this. Also allowing men into the main buffet just wearing beach shorts and no shirt, wow your standards are dropping...

The beach was beautiful and clean and the service was wonderful. Everyone was attentive and friendly very caring staff. Unfortunately we got very sick for 3 days, the medical staff were wonderful and the medical attention was outstanding. The room was comfortable. The food was ok too. It was a bitter sweat experience but overall happy we got to visit such beautiful place.

Our first visit was a 2 week stay. Wish we could have stayed a month or more. Great facility. Huge and spacious. Amazing beach. Room had private plunge pool. Was fantastic. Plenty of daily entertainment..every day.. Food was great. Overall service from management to food server was great! Rebooked for another two weeks this coming October 2024. This resort is most Definitely a winner for enjoying...

This is the first time we have chosen the Dominican Republic for our holiday. Not having the slightest experience in this republic, we honestly chose the presence of a beautiful beach and were right. In addition, what was our surprise upon arrival that this particular hotel was only for adults (without children), for us specifically this was a BIG plus, since we did not see such a description of the...

The resort is small and beautiful. The workers are super friendly and helpful. The pool area is very nice eventhough one of the jacuzzi's was not working. The beach is probably one of the cleanest and more beautiful beaches I have ever visited. Unfortunately the food was mediocre. It was tasteless and not much of a variety. I expected more for the price. I paid extra for a bungalow so that I can have...

Loved this place! So peaceful and fun at the same time. It's not too big so after some days you start feeling as a big family. The entertainment team is simply the best! I want to be back pretty soon. This time we stayed at a bungalow, but it wasn't worth it so we'll stay at the main building. Suggestions: provide information on arrival about available tours. We wanted to go to Los Haitises but...

Some of the workers were amazing such as Marcel who gave us an amazing archery and kayaking experience and the bartenders Edison, Luis Daniel and David and in general the bartenders in the main bar were nice and made good coffee but there were many issues during our stay especially on our last night such as ordering room service and not receiving it after over 3.5 hours and being hung up on after calling...

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!

Amazing place, safe, clean, food around and like always the people in saman are very kind and gently ♡ the location it's like a dream

The rooftop pool has the best view. The rooftop restorante has the perfect menu and service. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel with modern designs and amazing views of Samana Bay. The staff is very friendly and courteous and the food is delicious!!

Amazing hotel, highly recommended! Everything was beyond perfect - the view, the room, the staff, the food, the pool, the music.

This place is perfect! Lots of restaurants, stores, etc at walking distance. The pool is beautiful and the views breathtaking. The staff is five star. Everything was perfect.

hotel has a great potential, amazing views, the only problem is the staff, if you want to get anything it takes a very long time, feels like they don’t know what they are doing

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.

Arrived today and this place is amazing. Beautiful room with views of the ocean. Facility is totally first class. Friendly, competent check in, valet parking, pool bar. Haven't been to beach yet but it looks great. Haven't eaten yet but the dining rooms are elegant. I'll add more once I have tasted the all inclusive lunch and dinner buffets. I'm not typically a fan of buffet food but I'm hoping they...

It’s more of a 3.5 Star Resort. Not sure how they have 5 Stars. Views are amazing! You get amazing views everywhere in the hotel. Food is very disappointing. Buffet food was very limited choices, it feels like they also recycle food from previous meals. No snack bar or food between meals. Only good food was breakfast. Restaurant are even worse than Buffets. Beach is nice and cozy, only issue is...

We had a great time at this resort. From NewYork we could only land at Santo Domingo which is about three hours ride, can be long. We arranged a private transfer with the hotel and it went smoothly. The resort itself is very charming, small and relaxing. It is rather old, but correctly maintained. Rooms and common areas could use some renovation, but overall it is decent for the price. Don't expect...

We had a lovely time at this resort! It’s quiet and not too crowded, we really appreciated the quaint vibe of it all. The setting. As gorgeous and the staff so amazingly sweet. We had a great time and it was always a pleasure to walk into Maxwell at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The only less positive point is the buffet, for breakfast it was great, but lunch and dinner sometimes left us wishing for...

This place is for you if you: need a restorative, quiet time; can manage several flights of stairs to the beach; aren't fussy about food; don't want a loud party atmosphere; aren't looking to explore the DR too much on your own. There is a single town about 15 minutes away walking along a busy road, therefore, suggest you get the all-inclusive. This place used to be quite busy (I was there in 201...

This was a perfect resort, exactly what I was looking for. Quiet, clean, good food, this is a small resort with lots of wonderful staff, always kind, and helpful. I highly recommend this resort if you are looking to rest, meet a few other guests, enjoy peace and quiet in a beautiful setting.

Very Nice place! The beach was incredible, we had a room with private pool, it was quite big. The staff was very friendly too. Would definitely come Back!

Wonderful and beautiful resort with amazing staff. The breakfast is amazing. We were here for their Mother’s Day. The grilled buffet included seafood, ribs, fruit and vegetables. Delicious pastries available also. The staff makes sure your stay is everything you could ask for. Restaurant is lacking in taste and options for lunch and dinner.

Beautiful hotel grounds and well kept, however NO HOT WATER. You might think it's not needed but who wants to shower and shave with cold water? Not me :)

Greeted by Santos and received by Bernardo, what start!!! Welcoming smiles and an atmosphere of peaceful ocean breeze. Our apartment was complete with LARGE high ceilings kitchen, room, living room, dining room, 2 balconies, 1.5 bathroom All well decorated and CLEAN. fruits, drinks amenities waiting for us and safty box for our valuables. As we left room toward the beach, large pools and cabanas...

Let me say this first, this is a review of the SPA. The property was amazing and the staff were a delight. The spa manager, not so much. A month before this wedding I went to I booked a hair styling appointment, sent a video demonstration of what I wanted done and asked if it was ok. I had to continuously pester them to get replies, they then told me to bring extensions to add volume to the style...

This was a lovely place - it felt boutique and the staff were very good, kind, attentive and helpful. Being completely comprehensive, the food and the pool were not 5 stars but the beach and the service/other food options made up for it. Would def recommend and was an oasis we’d return to.

Wonderful place. Like living in the castle. The view is marvellous, beds are huge, breakfast is delicious. People who work here are nice and welcoming.

Amazing service The view and the service was amazing

Very simple and clean! The views are spectacular. Located in the middle of everything you could enjoy! The hill is a steep drive so may not want to walk up n down. Owner is very communicative and has staff on site to meet your needs. we missed breakfast since we had other commitments at 8am. fully stocked kitchen so you can cook and refrigerate food. We will be back!

The warm welcoming by the staff and of course you feel like home❤️

The owner reached out to me as soon as I made my reservation. I was able to text him with questions before and after our arrival. The staff greeted us and made sure we were comfortable for the evening. My kids loved that we were staying in a "castle". The experience is very different from staying in a traditional hotel. Very much a bed and breakfast and would be a great location for a family reunion...

Very good experience at Castillo Romano , miss Morena and mister Teo are the best human beings and hard working people.they treat us like a family,very nice people.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at this property! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The location was unbeatable—oceanfront with breathtaking views from our balcony that we enjoyed every day. It was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. The property itself was immaculate, with well-stocked amenities that made our stay incredibly...

I had a good experience over all, the place is just like what is shown in the pictures (just need to be really careful with the people). Although, There are a lot of mosquitoes, but they do give you a zapping racket. I just didn’t realize that I can use it on mosquitoes as well. Also, for payment they would prefer cash, or visa/Mastercard. Last, had an issue with one of the receptionist. I had her...

Nice place Beautiful place will stay anytime

We could step off our veranda and be at the poolside. We were directly across the street from the beach. The included breakfast was nice.

Great location by a beautiful beach with great swimming and dining options within easy reach. Apartment was spacious and clean with great views. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable 7 days.

We arrived in Las Terrenas late in the afternoon with no hotel reservations because we wanted to see things before making a decision where to stay. The first place we checked out was a popular hotel in the main part of town that is highly recommended on trip advisor. The hotel and staff seemed okay, but the beach in town is very small and didn't look comfortable to spend the day in the water. The...

The resort was an hour and a half from the airport, so that's quite the drive after a 4 hr flight. The lobby was small, clean and pleasant. It looked like the resort was having a lot of work done to it and some areas didn't look open. The map and guest package was terrible. Poorly photocopied, couldn't read the map and little info. The wifi cost $4USD a day, $10 for 3 days and the safe was the...

The hotel is not really that great . There was less food in the buffet of this resort compared to the other buffet in other resort I was in. The food is not really good. The service is a big 0. Most of the time there was no coffee and no milk. No one came at our tables to ask us if we wanted something to drink in the buffet. The hotel rooms are okay. The pool and shows were okay. The ocean is really...

Tremendous place, no words to talk about this

They can always improve the conditions of the place, but it was a lot of fun on the weekend and the help in the kitchen that is included was very good

Tremendous place for vacations and to spend it tasty you have everything in a single place

The villa the battle of couples ... beautiful villa

Villa Serena property is spectacular! Quiet, clean, serene natural beauty. Staff exceptional. Angelina accommodated every request and suggested excursions i really enjoyed. Yoga shala excellent. Pool was clean and inviting. Massage overlooking ocean phenomenal.

This was the best time I've had in a long time. I went for a yoga retreat from july 16 to 20 with Sarah Shea, yoga instructor. She really picked a beautiful place. The weather was great and it felt like heaven. I got the best service from the staff. Whenever I had a question Angelina, the manager, was extremely helpful. The food was excellent and don't think I've eaten so much. I would gladly go...

Villa Serena is very well named. I can not think of anywhere in the world I have vacationed that has offered a more peaceful stay. Beginning with the spectacular view and warm welcome by staff, my huband and I had immediate gratification that we had picked the perfect spot to relax for a few days. It was very quiet during our 4 day retreat but when we left today, Friday, it appeared a lot more...

Everything was perfect, we will come back. 😍 The villa is a quiet place, whit a beautiful beach and very good food. The massage was one of the best we had in our lifes. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Thanks a lot to all of the Villa Serena.

Excellent hôtel for a quiet and restfull holiday. We had a Lovely room with sea view on the 2nd floor and enjoyed the place very much. Lovely walks on the Beach and the restaurant is also very good. I really recommend it and we ll be back! Staff is very helpfull.

Very nice place, quiet an relaxing. Stuff is very, very friendly ans helpfull. The Breakfast we all liked very much! The opportunity for yoga ans sports is fine and the place for that directly located at the beach is outstanding especially the oceanview and the light brezze.

It was my second time staying at Costarena. The staff at the front desk was very friendly. The young lady who checked us in was very kind and responsive. our check-in process was smooth. However, our air conditioners were not working properly, and it took almost an hour for the maintenance person to come check-it out and that was after we went to the front desk to ask for an update. There was also...

Really nice hotel and room. TV with poor internet connection

Good value. Comfortable stay. We were greeted in the lobby by Carmen, who was a gracious and delightful host. She arranged packed breakfast for us when we had to leave early and would miss the time. We did have to ask for things for our room. Housekeeping did not always provide. Service in the restaurant for breakfast was great. It is a good place with good value overall

Overall it was a great stay. I dont like to complaint, but i like when hotels worry more about their clients. My rooms ac was not working. I heard someone’s ac unit was leaking water.

Great location and convenient to shops etc. Would stay there again. Access to amazing beaches.

Carmen is a star, great stay! Carmen, who worked reception, was so wonderful and nice and helped me with everything. The room was simple but had everything I needed plus a large balcony with a great ocean view!

Hard mattress Bathroom fan pretty noisy and mattress to be changed were in 205 the rest was perfect

Short stop Overall good quality price didn’t had time to try the pool but was pretty clean and inviting

There was no conveniences on site. No coffee makers in the rooms. The staff spoke no English. The room itself was large clean and beautiful.

I will definitely come back to this hotel in my next trip to Las Terrenas. My only suggestion is to upgrade the main entrance's door, as it can be an inconvenient to keep calling with our cellphones every single time we need to enter or exit the facility. Just like the elevator, we should be able to use our room's key to come in.or step out.

Staff was supportive and always available when needed.

Really cool place. A quiet paradise. Very hospitable owners and care takers

Amazing stay. Surrounded by nature and having private breakfast or dinner infront of our luxurious cottage was an amazing experience. Only things to improve are the cats - they are begging you for food all the time and sometimes going into the cottage which is not pleasant for allergic people. Also the schower had only a cold water and the stream was very slow. But These are just small things to improve...

WoW! This place is amazingly beautiful and the staff is very polite and helpful, they treat you like royalty. I celebrated my mother's birthday and they also got me the cake. I would definitely stay there again if I'm ever in the area. By the way the food is also amazing.

Beautiful place, convenient to everything. Great beaches right across the street!!!

beautiful place, great serbice

Beautiful and comfortable property. It has all for a relaxing holiday. Courteous staff and clean rooms. Very well kept and looked after.

Liked · The team are super friendly and profesional. Private security, cleaning team, gardeners, reception team, and minigolf cart to carry you around. The pools were great and so was the apartment. Disliked · The breakfast was not great and in the first days we had very moody staff serving the food due to COVID. The food also felt monotonous and started to run out during our stay (yogurt, milk jar...

Wonderful experience, beautiful place.

Excellent apartments, well furnished, equipped and maintained to a high standard. The complex has a range of one, two and three bed apartments ranging up to duplexes with large roof terraces, so something for all tastes. There is a restaurant and two pools on site as well as a spa and is well placed in terms of the town centre and a wide range of restaurants. The beach is just across the road, the...

At first when I got to the check in the staff was rude and didn't make me feel welcomed because I made a "late" reservation through a third party company and they didn't have any room ready for us. The "upgraded" us from a single apartment to a rooftop apartament which I didn't find to be an actual upgrade since the AC in the living room was not working. For the price paid I though this property was...

Perfect place for a vacation with friends and family ... customer services was excellent and great rooms .. spacious very clean and perfect location

We went all over the country , best place we have ever stayed. Plus, everything you will need is around the corner.

This is way yo perfect. Peaceful ☺️. Great service. Excellent breakfast. Pet Friendly 🥳. Can ask for more🏝️ The WiFi is very slow probably an upgrade can help.

We just got back from Las Terranas! We stayed with a group of friends (four couples) at the Albachiara. Two couples had their own room and we shared a two-bedroom room with another couple. All the rooms were clean and super cute! We especially loved our two-bedroom. Very unique, nice little decorative touches, breezy and comfy patio, and really nice pool. The staff were also very helpful and nice....

Great hotel in this beach town. Hidden gem.

Location and resort are phenomenal. The staff were friendly and helpful. **Disclaimer-just a personal feeling here: Maybe just personally put off by the owner's attitude. Even though I am owed nothing for staying there, after three attempts to simply say hello and congratulate him on the resort (thinking I was being positive). He appeared to have contempt for U.S. Citizens. He made it obvious...

Great place, I highly recommend. Close walking distance to everything. Fantastic salt water pool. Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a one bedroom apartment. Cant say enough about the place. Would definitely stay again!

It's an amazing place surrounded by nature. The whole complex has a river filled with animals running below it which is pretty neat. Only reccomendation would be to bring your reppellant since at night mosquitoes get fiesty in las Terrenas

We had such a good time. My kids loved the large pool. It was so spacious and not crowded. The beach was only a few yards away from the pool. Everything was kept neat a d clean from the common areas to the apartments. I can't say enough about the staff. They were friendly kind and understanding. I plan to go back.

Excelent place to stay if you have the chance, the beach is beautiful, the building are with an eco-friendly design, leaving the mangrove swamp as it is and constructed around them, pretty close to las Terrenas beach and a few really good restaurant. The only downside is that the beach club doesn't sell breakfast nor dinner and that the are no signs to know where things are (got lost a few times)...

Work in progress, new owners will make this happen. Beautiful sand but the water is too shallow.
