Lovely hotel off the beaten path. It's located 10 minutes away from Samana, in a private residential complex and marina. Completely self-sufficient: there is a laundry, minimarket, several bars and restaurants on the premises. Only one caveat: there is no beach in the property. However, the pools and sea swimming area (not exactly a beach), and proximity to beautiful ones more than make up for it. Food in the restaurants is world-class, and while service may be on the unfinished side, the staff's attitude more than offsets it. While dining at the Beach Club restaurant, was lucky enough to be treated to a group of humpback whales breaching, jumping out of the water, and overall having fun. It was an unexpected yet beautiful moment. Overall, loved this hidden jewel, and will surely recommend it as much as I can, until I can return to it in the very near future.

Every time we come it gets better and better. This is a quiet and homey place to stay. The marina provided a picturesque view, making the stay quite enjoyable for water enthusiasts. Yelaine at the reception stood out with her exceptional hospitality, ensuring a warm welcome and addressing any inquiries with a friendly demeanor. Her attentive service added a personal touch to the overall positive impression of the hotel.

Everithing was ok, but there is not a beach. The sea area for swimming was dirty and there was no one to clean it. Despite everything, it is a beautiful place that I recommend visiting.
