I was disappointed by the location of the hotel as everything around it is currently under construction. It’s a bit far out from the beach by foot but probably fine by quad-bike. I only realised the checkin hours after booking otherwise I would have booked a different location as it’s quite a short window for international travellers (1-3pm). Anyway, confirmed ETA one hour prior to arrival as my E-SIM was not working as planned, arrived to find the place locked up and after a 15 min wait went to find another hotel as I had already been travelling by road for 10 hours. Long story short, got charged for the night and but wound up staying elsewhere. Perhaps the facilities are as serene as the pictures but did not meet expectations.

All staff very friendly and helpful, they kindly swapped our room, becasue we like to be high up, with no fuss. breakfast was great as was the restaurant food ( including vegetarian options), best cocktails we had in the domincan republic. bed very comfy, nice firm mattress which we like. room is big, kitchenette had everything you would need though we didnt stay long enough to use this. water cooler was an unexpected bonus. has airconditioning and fan in the bedroom - great to have both options and mosi screens on all windows mean you can get a good through breeze. best part is the huge balcony which feels really private. and there was a back balcony with very handy drying lines. the grounds are all well maintained with lots of tropical plants. lots of cats and dogs around the hotel and the beach but all calm and friendly and could be easily avoided if people dont like then. hotel was really clean. pool lovely. when we were there it was quiet and therefore very relaxing. easy parking for the massive rental truck we had. short walk into main area and to punta poppy.

The Villa was spacious and every room had air conditioner. I aleays use the BBQ here and the guts at the bar help you start the fire and provide charcoal! This has been my second stay at chalet tropical and all i can say is this is the best place to enjoy as a couple or with your family. Will surely be back again!

Hotel location is separated as it seems and thus very quiet. Beach is super clean and beautiful. No sales people in the whole hotel area (besides the travel guides in the hotel lobby that guests can approach if needed). At the beach you can enjoy the sound of the sea, while the pool area offers a great animation program and music. The hotel offers an outstanding view to the sea. Chance to see some whales if you are lucky (bring binoculars). Free shuttle to the close by Baccardi Island.

The staff were pleasant and friendly. Hugo went the extra mile in trying to resolve situations, but in things out of his personal reach or responsibility he was hampered by not being able to help out at times (like with the air conditioner—see below). We all loved the beach and delightfully big pool and spent many happy hours there. Minerva was a stellar cook for the family and powerful at cleaning laundry on two occasions in record time! Wow!

The apartaments are lovely. We stayed at a 2-bedroom and it was HUGE. Very big balcony and spacious living/dining areas. It has everything you need and the lovely beach is a stone’s throw away. The staff offer an inmaculate service and were very flexible with our requests. From there we drove short distances to Playa Bonita and Playa Ballenas which are both lovely. It was a surprisingly nice complex and well maintained.

We liked the Mosquito Boutique Hotel, and Las Teranas was a good-sized place with beautiful beaches and plenty of lovely places to eat. We also tried the beach restaurant at Mosquito. We really only stayed at our hotel for three days, so we did not visit anywhere too much. The shops and decent supermarket malls were good, the area is booming with new developments of apartments, and villas, the general feel and advice from locals is that the infra structure is creaking so more investment is required into the sewage, electricity, and water supplies if the development is to be maintained.

Las galeras is what the more touristy spots (punta cana and puerto plata) were 30 years ago. It is much more primitive but the beaches are amazing and there many to visit. the facilities are mixed - you can find high end resorts and simple rooms to rent. the restaurants are more than adequate but this town does not have the volume of people to keep all perfect all the time expect the mediocre and enjoy when all is great. we will come back it is wonderful

I stayed for one night and honestly wish I had booked a few more. El Valle is peaceful, green, and the kind of place where you instantly slow down in the best way. The WiFi was reliable for remote work, and I was able to get everything done while hearing the river and birds in the background. The space was clean, comfortable, and surrounded by nature, exactly what I needed. If you’re looking for a quiet escape to work, reset, or just breathe fresh air, this is the spot. Will definitely be back.

It is a small town, with some good and some bad beaches. Best if them is Moron. Streets are very tight, and with many curves. There aren't many food options and during the night-time, I didn't felt secure enough to walk on the street. A good point is for the El Limon waterfall, which is a must-see.

Las Terrenas is a lovely northern town on the Samana peninsula. If you want a chilled out vibe, full of locals and nice easy access to different beaches then this is your place. I went as a solo female traveller and found it very good, generally safe, did not feel threatened which is important when you're alone. Plenty of places to eat, but I would do your research first. The food was good, but often the service at restaurants was not so good. Cheap prices. Margarita Bar - inexpensive, amazing quesadillas Gelateria Italiana Artesanal - cute ice cream parlour El Loro - great beach snacks Ristorante Pizzeria Nonna Teresa - a fab family run italian with fresh pasta El Lugar - full options and good tapas style food Boulangerie Francaise - a cute bakery Empanadas y Más - didn't try, but known to have the best empanadas Pizza Coco - go-to amazing cheap delicious pizza Super Mercado Lindo - closest large supermarket if you want options 20-30 min walk or you can get a taxi/bike. Easiest ways to get around if you don't want to rent a drive is the men that drive the scooters, they all wear yellow high vis jackets so that you know they are safe, you pay them anywhere between $200-500 pesos equivalent to $3 for a short ride from A>B. But the dune buggies and quad bikes are popular for tourists to use. I highly recommend getting to see Limon Waterfalls, and I did a day trip to visit 4 secluded beaches. Waterfall tours by Flora Tours. Beaches tours by OBISPO ATM - very good value! Out of the beaches tried, Playa Las Ballenas was the calmest, but nice waters and quieter vibe to Punta Popy. Overall joyous experience for a solo traveller, I stayed at TAKUMA Hotel.

There were a number of good restaurants. As we were there for only 24 hours we only had supper and lunch, both good. Whale watching was the reason for our visit , which we thoroughly enjoyed. Again Ana our host suggested the company which had a marine Biologist Kim who was extremely knowledgeable and experienced.

Las Galeras is still rural, with small but comfortable and high-quality hotels. It is an area for ecotourists or lovers of quiet and more unspoiled beaches without the structure and depersonalization of a resort. There are many small hotels and many French-run restaurants that compete with the locals. I recommend going to the local restaurants and try their excellent Creole food. It is effortless to move around the Galeras, although with great caution, because the locals drive their motorcycles and cars with a lot of anarchy and little respect for traffic rules. Our favorite restaurant was Los Conucos. It is a family atmosphere, run by Alba and her husband. Juana, the mother, is the cook, and the daughters take care of the place. It has a barbecue that is very popular with the locals. Their creole dishes are delicious. We paid an average of 25 dollars for two people, including beer. On our next visit, we would like to have cleaner beaches.

El valle is very very rural and wild.

El valle is very very rural and wild. We wanted total relax and this place is perfect for this. There’s only a few hotels and all of them have this eco-sustainable vibe that is amazing. If you’re staying at a house (not a hotel) I recommend buying good in Samaná before coming. There’s only very little “colmados” that have maybe ice, been and chips but not big like a super market. There’s not a a lot of restaurants either. Only a few of the hotels have them. There’s a local (and cheap) one called DON PIRON where you have a variety of dishes. There’s a pizzeria also. I also recommend a 4x4 car or at least one that’s not small, the roads are not in perfect shape and there’s lots of dirt roads.
