The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Beautiful location

Gorgeous views. Very clean hotel and friendly staff. Gigi and Caramelo made things fun from pool exercise, bingo and night time shows and games. Enjoyed the whole week surrounded by nature and bay views.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: nice quiet hotel

Very quiet, not much entertainment in evening and all gone to bed by 11pm. Beach is tiny and not too much to shop for in Samana. Now on the upside if all your looking for is nice clean hotel,good food and staff are all amazing this is the place to go. Read a book great rest and relaxation.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Not so amazing resort

Boring... Nobody understood english.. Hard to find something to eat... Food was not so great... Wine was even worse... Will not recommend this resort! There was very little shade by the pool...my shower leaked all over ...

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Forgettable Vacay

Hotel has panoramic beautiful veiws of Samana Bay. Hotel rooms are clean but definitely need decent pillows Our room was suppose to be pool veiw but we were put on the 4th floor directly above the main terrace outside of the lobby bar. Entertaining started nightly around 9pm and was so loud you could not sleep. Some nights it went on until midnight. The pool was in need of repairs as tiles were missing and the water was disgusting, needed to be skimmed daily but we only saw it happen once. Brea [... read more]kfast, lunch and supper buffet was very average. We enjoyed the 2 a la cartes as suppers were very good. Apparently we were there during low season as you could not walk much of the grounds. Beach area was very small. The beach snack bar was very good. Staff were very helpful. Only issue was the check in as rooms were not ready and people continually complained. We are not people who like to venture on excursions so we stayed poolside or in the lobby area.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Overall 'Great Trip'

We recently stayed at the Eurostars in Samaná and had a wonderful trip. The hospitality and staff were fantastic—always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Our room and the amenities were kept spotless. Getting into the local town was very easy and convenient. The setting and views were spectacular. The beach was clean, beautifully maintained, and completely free of seaweed, with great ocean views and good food throughout our stay (except for the Italian / Greek restaurant). The entertainment [... read more] was on the quieter side, but good enough to have a fun evenings. My only wish was the night dancing on the terrace went a bit longer at a minimal 11:30 PM, midnight would have been ideal. I would have loved to use the spa, but the prices felt quite steep compared to Canadian rates and didn’t seem worth the extra spend, though high spa pricing is typical for resorts. Tip: Try to book a room in the main building if you can—it saves quite a bit of walking. Overall, a great stay and I would definitely recommend it!

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Relaxing holiday

We enjoyed our vacation despite a few issues. Our check in took until 5:30...room not ready. More discipline action needed by staff for improperly supervised children by negligent parents in pool and dining areas. Our upgraded room was large and comfortable with balcony and awesome ocean view. Our bath and shower needed attention (mold) which they took care of immediately. Housekeeping did a good job making up the room and keeping the fridge stocked. Pool area was relaxing, lots of chairs an [... read more]d pleasant bartenders. Pool staff could be more assertive enforcing Pool etiquette at the swim-up bar (babies in diapers sitting on Pool countertop). Most people enjoyed spending their day at the beach along with the burger/chicken wing BBQ daily. Buffet was average ... always something to eat but geared to adult diet. The 2 a la carte restaurants were delicious. Limited entertainment but staff kept us amused all day.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Setting of serenity

This was an amazing resort to just get away from it all. The beach is quiet, with a sweet little dog that greets you everyday. The food was amazing, and the staff are very kind and attentive. The grounds are stunning, lots of trees and a beautiful view of the ocean. This is not a resort for people who want late night events, or a big social sceen, it's a place to just relax and disconnect by connecting to nature and calm.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Amazing resort

Excellent resort better then Punta Cana. Food, Beaches were great. The service was good. The few bad things were the workers were very poor in English. The shows were terrible. But overall excellent resort.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Exceptional!

The hotel is a good place to be for a getaway vacation. Everything worked well. Staffs are very courteous. Room service well beyond expectations. The only cons, is about too much salt in the foods. I would definitely recommend Eurostars Grand Cayacoa to everyone looking for all inclusive vacations

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Was, a good resort

This was our 5th visit. Nine months ago this resort changed owners, What a huge difference. We booked 2 weeks.Five days in we wanted to go home. Westjet said we would lose our second week and we would have to pay a further $900. to fly back to Toronto. Pathetic. They had a toilet paper shortage, Our balcony door failed to lock until repaired. Three days in our safe needed to be fixed. An employee told us the resort was at a 20% occupancy. We always tipped employee as a local business owner sai [... read more]d employees earn $10. or $11.a day. Twice we walked 2 kilometres in to town. About 150 oil burning 35 year old 150 cc motor bikes flying around the small town.ONE OF THOSE DRIVERS HELD THE HANDLEBARS WITH ONE HAND and a 18 month old child with the other. A business owner said if you don't fit in as a resident you pay triple to buy anything. Inside of the resort is a tiny store. To buy a dollar store.88 cent chocolate bar is $9. American, $12. Canadian. Now let's get to the bar. No name booze. If you want a vodka and orange juice you give you TANG or some watered down sugared substitute. Or a 4% no name tap draft. On the beach they don't have time to wash the plastic cups, but usually rince them. The food is also a treat. When they serve their small cooked chicken they chop them into small pieces and you end up with splinters of bones. I became satisfied with any form of potatoes and any meat. The guests complain about every day the meals are the same.Twice in 2 weeks they made about 2 litres or less of rice pudding. when it's gone it's gone It was common to lose out on mango and why. There are hundreds of mango trees. Speciality restaurants, there are 2. When we ate there they only permitted 6 couples in all night. Wifi was spotty and we had issues watching Fifa. There is no sports bar. Getting towels was an issue. Some employees try to be nice ,others put their back to you when you walk near them.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Beautiful view and memorable service

I really enjoyed the cliffside view. It was so beautiful in the morning. The resort is very well organized, great food at buffet with variety. One day it was not so good, but the rest of the week it kept getting better and tastier. May be a shipment was delayed when we arrived? The staff were friendly and warm. Amazing and thanks to staff my experience was so much more special. They genuinely cared about my experiences at the resort and helped promptly. I would recommend to 40+ if you're look [... read more]ing for a quiet escape. Rooms looked dated but bed was incredibly comfortable. Although there is good entertainment, it is the typical one hour show, so bring some dancing shoes if you want to stay after and dance with your special someone. There is a fairly large entertainment area with a raised audience deck for viewing comfort, tons of lounge space around as well. I also liked the beach. It is small but that's what I liked about it. It felt like a hidden spot away from the business of most Samana beaches. I'd recommend going on an excursion or several, to enjoy the many beautiful scenic spots available. I'll probably go back sometime but I will book several excursions to see more of Samana. Shout out to Vanessa, Felix, Alexander, Carolina, and many more for such an amazing experience. You are truly appreciated ❤️

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Excellent resort

Fantastic Beach - protected by corral from large waves...sandy beach no need for shoes in water. Can walk for kms either way safely. lots of sun protection on beach. Buffet large and ample choices. restaurants are a pleasant surprise and provide nice treat. Staff friendly. Rides to further rooms constantly available. No close neighbouring resorts so feels secluded. Loved it.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Great resort

Would not go back because of medical issues. Otherwise great. Food and drinks were fun.. beach is not accessible. Pool is somewhat accessible. Not to many toursbpr r versions for people with limited ability.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Bahia Principe Samana

Well…this was exactly what I wanted and needed….a place to relax … This is not a party place…or someone who has walking issues even though it is not horrible if placed in the proper room. Food was good but repetitive…beach was small…not a beautiful Cuban beach..

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Peaceful Paradise

I really enjoyed my stay at the resort the staff were very attentive to keeping the grounds, rooms, the buffet etc. very clean. The beach is amazing and the KAA pool bar was a great place to hangout especially the evenings that they allowed the fans from Canada to watch the hockey games very accommodating. If you love quiet and peace this is the resort. The only draw back is the long bus ride to and from the airport but it was agreat way to see the different villages along the way.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Beautiful Beach Experience!!

We stayed at this resort the week of May 9 to the 16th. The resort grounds were very well kept clean. The beach is one of the best I’ve experienced the convenience of the beach bar restaurant and washroom facilities close by made it much easier to enjoy the beach as much as possible I also appreciated the Butler style beach service we received for drinks The pool was kept clean. The fact that there was no pool bar was a plus in my eyes. There were many activities to try during the day without [... read more] pressure, which made it even more inviting The food in general was good. A lot of selection croissants were to die for the 24 seven bar at the lobby was well stocked with snacks, coffee tea, and the bar staff were very friendly. Entertainment was music themed all week long and quite enjoyable fantastic service was given at the three à la carts food was well presented and fresh Steak was by far the best I’ve had on the island We travelled with Sunwing overall our representative Maria was very friendly and helpful. We were able to contact her using WhatsApp, which was convenient. overall I would return to this resort. But would also like to see improvement on the following. Service in general, especially at the buffet was lacking we had to make eye contact and ask for service most of the time, but when we did get it, it was good that went for all the staff in general. Also, there was a timeshare component that we agreed to explore I appreciate and understand wanting to draw up business, your asked to join a session for an hour and then it ends up extending to close to three I think maybe the approach could be different and after the first hour and if the answer is no then the answer is no

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Amazing resory

Spent two weeks ,resort is smal but has own vibe .Staff was frendly room was very clean ,food was very good.only was too close to to the road.beach was clean every day,no beach bar and line in a pool bar

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Wonderful Vacation!☺️

Beautiful resort with stunning beach in a cove and 3 different pools. Our room was very clean with comfortable beds, spacious bathroom and hot showers. We also had a beautiful 3rd floor garden view. Food was plentiful and delicious! Excellent choices for breakfast including eggs, bacon, fresh breads, pancakes, French toast, cold cuts, fruits, pastries and smoothies. Buffet also had a great selection for lunch and dinner as well. Japanese, Italian and beach restaurant were also excellent. There [... read more] is also a great little coffee/pastry shop! (24 hrs) Many activities and nightly entertainment. Several bars on the resort, in the buffet, near pools and on the beach. Lobby area is lovely and breezy, great place to relax!

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Transition of resort dilemmas

My first time in the DR, such a beautiful place , amazing people and hotel staff that go over and beyond. Now considering we are in the DR, there was minimal night entertainment and pretty much everyone was in their rooms by 10-11 pm , lobby was cleared out and quiet . This type of guest entertainment was essential on several nights it down-poured rain. Unfortunately and unlike other resorts previously experienced throughout the Caribbean, this is the first time I did not experience local cultu [... read more]re of dancing and /or lessons , music etc. As well, no alcoholic beverages provided in the room fridge nor was room service food available as advertised with the exception of a sandwiches which had to be ordered in the lobby as phones were down. Apparently there was a transfer of ownership at the time of my stay which was only announced 1 week before departure.Even though I was looking for a more relaxed & adult location , myself and alot and even older of the older other guests felt like it was more a senior home , sadly I agree. Considering it’s such a beautiful resort with gorgeous ocean views and great staff that had to hear the guests complain. I found myself bored most nights talking to the staff walking by.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Beautiful location

The food, rooms, beach, grounds were all great. I would suggest more entertainment for the adults. The cafe being opened between meals was great. The beverages were good. Need diet coke or diet pepsi
