I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Samana Bay. The staff were welcoming and helpful without being overbearing. The rooftop pool and bar was amazing, I loved sitting at the bar and looking out on the ocean. The hotel is very close to restaurants and shopping which is convenient. They also serve breakfast in the morning which was nice to have on site. The parking is underground and has parking garage staff so I felt like my car was safe. The interior was beautiful and my room had everything I needed for a short stay. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will return again.
