3-Star Hotels in Samana, Dominican Republic

We expected a lot more for this hotel. Checking in, the receptionist was very friendly and so was the bellboy. The room was sober but clean and i have no comment on that. But, we had no warm water, even after it ran for over 15 minutes. The bartender was unfriendly and i made a comment to him directly that he had to learn to smile, that it does not cost anything. But the same went for the serving staff in the bufet restaurant. Although the hotel was only occupied for about 30% , they were very slow and unfriendly. The selection of food was very limited. Breakfast didn't include bacon, and had only one type of ham and cheese. Lunch and dinner, the same. Small selection of vegetables and speciality dish, 1 type of fish and one type of meat. No cheese, ice cream or even pudding for dessert. I realize it is low season in Samana at this moment, but i had expected more from a Wyndham hotel. Further more, driving there, you can get lost, as there ar no signs or directions to follow. Its in the middle of nowhere.

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.

Hope to visit and stay again!

Buena ubicación. Buen trato por parte del personal de recepción, pero las personas que trabajan en el restaurante de la playa lo hacen con mucha parsimonia, lentitud y descuido: había que pedirles que te atendieran o que preparasen las cosas porque nunca tenían nada listo. El desayuno estaba incluido (ver foto), pero era muy básico y sin ningún tipo de variedad. Precios del restaurante caros y también del masaje (€60/hora). A nuestra habitación no llegaba el wifi, el desagüe de la ducha estaba atascado, supuestamente lo arreglaron pero seguía igual. Tampoco llegaba agua caliente al baño y tuvimos todos los días que ducharnos con agua fría. Las mallas de mosquitera estaban rotas con lo cual de todos modos entraban los mosquitos. El hotel es bonito y las habitaciones amplias, pero había tantas cosas que no fueron bien, que salí con un sabor agridulce con toques amargos.
