Supposed receive a room upgrade, they didn't or they just ignored it. Thumb up for Mr. Rogelio in their restaurant, he corrected all the cook mistake. Watch out their prices. One shot of Hennessey V.S.O.P cost you 1,000 pesos at their rooftop bar🍸.

Great location, right across the street from samana bay ports. You can book a tour to go whale watching or to some beautiful beaches and all you have to do is cross the street. Breakfast is delicous, typical dominican breakfast, mangu, salami, fried cheese, but also has some waffle pancakes eggs, fresh fruit. Facility is brand new, very clean
