This island was really beautiful with fantastic beaches ,great snorkelling and a variety. Of little shack type restaurants at a great price. And lobster dinner was a great price too but I guess one has to haggle with the operators as we told them we would just go back to our resort and eat free food at the all inclusive !!!!We just did day trips to this island with the ferry service our resort provided us but be very AwareAs one day we missed the hotel ferry service and decided to go to town instead Well along the way. We meet a host of tour operators who offered to take us across .we took one one operator who said he would charge us $20 each one way so we said ok let's go When we came back and got dropped off at our hotel he now wanted $160 , if a policeman didn't intervine in the argument that ensured ,he would have fleeced us Next time we go to samana ,we will go directly to the resorts on this island and just chill out and watch the world go by as we didn't find much to do in the town of samana and the beaches here weren't that great
Lovely beach if you like just beaches...but not my cup of tea ..not much shade ok if you want to get toasted
Love the beach, The water was nice and warm and super clear. My only complain would be to have to pay for the chair rentals rather than provided by the hotel like all other places.
Loved the beach, perfect snorkelling. Staff is great. Expensive to travel to though. If you want crystal clear waters, this is the beach to go to. Rincon doesn't have water that is good for snorkeling or finding shells, but this beach is perfect, with no coral to jump over to get into the water.
hotel great food great staff great. if you stay here you don't want to leave till end of holiday.
We had a very relaxed time there, after the whale watching experience. And the food was great also. Awesome.
Love service, hospitality, freindly personel & smiles, great food lots of variety, sea food, fish, filet Mignon, and etc...
I was fortunate enough to stay at the cayo levantado resort which allowed me to beat the crowds to the public beach. The crowds and vendors trying to sell things is why this beach only gets 4 stars. I was able to snorkel and see a few starfish and butterfly fish. The waves were pretty strong so the visibility wasn't absolutely perfect but well worth donning the snorkel and mask!
