United KingdomThe bungalows are located in a side road which is very quiet. Still the Main Street with a bank and lots of restaurants and shops is only a three minute walk away.
Similarly the beaches of Las Galeras are easily reached by foot. We didn’t bring a car but there’s ample of secure parking available.
The two hosts created a great atmosphere and a delicious breakfast which we enjoyed every day.
They helped us out with everything; from arranging taxis to trips and giving useful tips.
The pool and all amenities are kept exceptionally clean.
One thing to consider when booking is that there’s no door between the bathroom and bedroom.

Yue Zhuo
From
FranceVilla Serena is a beautiful place, tastefully designed, with extraordinary sea, pool and garden views. Our room is quiet and spacious and has a large baloney overlooking the ocean. It is a perfect location for people who try to find an alternative to all-inclusive hotels. The Playa La Playita, 10 minute-walk from the hotel, is among the most beautiful beaches on the island. The hotel is also 7-10 minute-walk to the town Las Galeras, where one can find good restaurants and feel the vibrance of local life at night. I particularly enjoyed the free Yoga classes facing the ocean in the morning. Angelina, the Yoga teacher, is super amiable and helped us tremendously during our stay to communicate with the personnel (we don't speak Spanish). Overall, this has been a very pleasant stay. I highly recommend the hotel.

CanadaLoved this hotel. Great, clean room overlooking the pool. Blanca the office manager was very helpful and nice. The included breakfast was great. 20m walk to the beach and beautiful beach in both directions and a water tap outside the entrance to rinse your sandy feet after walking on the beach. Taxi stand right at the end of the street. Within walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants. 2 restaurants across the street from the hotel and a small grocery store. The pool was beautiful and always clean and had fun lights at night, which the kids loved. Price was right. Housekeeping staff and breakfast staff were very nice too.

Oh my favourite place of all DR. What a gem. I didn’t expect too much reading the reviews but oh! It was just great.
First of all, the location. I have never been to a hotel that has such a 250degree views of the sea. That was the number one. The place is so well designed you feel like you are almost on your own and they were sold out! So many areas to chill, on so many levels. Wherever I looked it was just beutiful. Even a space behind the building. Even the parking lot looked like a garden! Just amazing.
The staff is also amazing and will be happy to help. My mum didn’t like her toom so they changed it at no extra charge(we were glad to pay but didn’t have to).
The lunch was excellent a la carte. Dinner was meh.
Breakfast ok. I loved the locations of the restaurants.
The rooms were a bit old school in design(not my favourite style) but of all the hotels we went to it was by far the best kept rooms. You know that feeling when everything just works and everything is there when you need it. Like working a/c, and quiet, a lovely coffee maker, a good magnyfying mirror in the bathroom, a lovely ice box… etc etc.
The bartenders know their cocktails too and the bar is so well priced.

Unbelievable choices of breakfast (continental, tropical, vegan, etc.) are delivered directly to your personal patio at your requested time, making every morning a delightful experience.
The bungalows are masterpieces of sustainable architecture, crafted from clay, cobblestone, and abundant wood, artistically designed for your enjoyment.
Outside your personal space, you will find a small raft with oars amidst the relaxing sound of water, and your very own personal swimming pool surrounded by lush vegetation.
As a seasoned traveller who has visited hundreds of places, I must say, I have never encountered such a mesmerizing place in all my life.
My deepest gratitude goes to guapa Charlyne, kind Aurora, and master Chiara, the owners, for their everyday smiles, and politeness that truly made this experience unforgettable

This hotel is like a castle over the samana town. What did i like? The great location, as the samana bay is my favorite spot in DR. The breathtaking views over the sea from the very comfortable room, from the pool, from the elevators... what else? The staff, very friendly n helpful..the large choice of nice food... What else? The decoration of the hotel, full of nice paintings, the excursions available around samana bay (seeing the whales is a must)..what else? The large pool with seaview and bar... Everything was great as a matter of fact...Ah cherry on the top: an incredible elevator that brings you right to the beach!

We enjoyed the whole experience. We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff made it special. We opted for full board and were surprised at the quality and variety of food.
We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and it was great to swim in, so clean.
The apartment was traditionally Dominican and very well maintained, having everything we needed. They had thought of everything, even the Cork screw. Air-conditioning units and fans were in each room. Even a fan on the patio.

The staff were pleasant and friendly. Hugo went the extra mile in trying to resolve situations, but in things out of his personal reach or responsibility he was hampered by not being able to help out at times (like with the air conditioner—see below). We all loved the beach and delightfully big pool and spent many happy hours there. Minerva was a stellar cook for the family and powerful at cleaning laundry on two occasions in record time! Wow!

The staff offer an inmaculate service and were very flexible with our requests. From there we drove short distances to Playa Bonita and Playa Ballenas which are both lovely. It was a surprisingly nice complex and well maintained.

We liked the Mosquito Boutique Hotel, and Las Teranas was a good-sized place with beautiful beaches and plenty of lovely places to eat. We also tried the beach restaurant at Mosquito. We really only stayed at our hotel for three days, so we did not visit anywhere too much. The shops and decent supermarket malls were good, the area is booming with new developments of apartments, and villas, the general feel and advice from locals is that the infra structure is creaking so more investment is required into the sewage, electricity, and water supplies if the development is to be maintained.

Las galeras is what the more touristy spots (punta cana and puerto plata) were 30 years ago. It is much more primitive but the beaches are amazing and there many to visit. the facilities are mixed - you can find high end resorts and simple rooms to rent. the restaurants are more than adequate but this town does not have the volume of people to keep all perfect all the time expect the mediocre and enjoy when all is great.
we will come back it is wonderful

I stayed for one night and honestly wish I had booked a few more. El Valle is peaceful, green, and the kind of place where you instantly slow down in the best way. The WiFi was reliable for remote work, and I was able to get everything done while hearing the river and birds in the background.
The space was clean, comfortable, and surrounded by nature, exactly what I needed. If you’re looking for a quiet escape to work, reset, or just breathe fresh air, this is the spot. Will definitely be back.

It is a small town, with some good and some bad beaches. Best if them is Moron. Streets are very tight, and with many curves. There aren't many food options and during the night-time, I didn't felt secure enough to walk on the street. A good point is for the El Limon waterfall, which is a must-see.

Las Terrenas is a lovely northern town on the Samana peninsula.
If you want a chilled out vibe, full of locals and nice easy access to different beaches then this is your place.
I went as a solo female traveller and found it very good, generally safe, did not feel threatened which is important when you're alone.
Plenty of places to eat, but I would do your research first. The food was good, but often the service at restaurants was not so good. Cheap prices.
Margarita Bar - inexpensive, amazing quesadillas
Gelateria Italiana Artesanal - cute ice cream parlour
El Loro - great beach snacks
Ristorante Pizzeria Nonna Teresa - a fab family run italian with fresh pasta
El Lugar - full options and good tapas style food
Boulangerie Francaise - a cute bakery
Empanadas y Más - didn't try, but known to have the best empanadas
Pizza Coco - go-to amazing cheap delicious pizza
Super Mercado Lindo - closest large supermarket if you want options
20-30 min walk or you can get a taxi/bike.
Easiest ways to get around if you don't want to rent a drive is the men that drive the scooters, they all wear yellow high vis jackets so that you know they are safe, you pay them anywhere between $200-500 pesos equivalent to $3 for a short ride from A>B.
But the dune buggies and quad bikes are popular for tourists to use.
I highly recommend getting to see Limon Waterfalls, and I did a day trip to visit 4 secluded beaches.
Waterfall tours by Flora Tours.
Beaches tours by OBISPO ATM - very good value!
Out of the beaches tried, Playa Las Ballenas was the calmest, but nice waters and quieter vibe to Punta Popy.
Overall joyous experience for a solo traveller, I stayed at TAKUMA Hotel.

Las Galeras is still rural, with small but comfortable and high-quality hotels. It is an area for ecotourists or lovers of quiet and more unspoiled beaches without the structure and depersonalization of a resort. There are many small hotels and many French-run restaurants that compete with the locals. I recommend going to the local restaurants and try their excellent Creole food. It is effortless to move around the Galeras, although with great caution, because the locals drive their motorcycles and cars with a lot of anarchy and little respect for traffic rules. Our favorite restaurant was Los Conucos. It is a family atmosphere, run by Alba and her husband. Juana, the mother, is the cook, and the daughters take care of the place. It has a barbecue that is very popular with the locals. Their creole dishes are delicious. We paid an average of 25 dollars for two people, including beer. On our next visit, we would like to have cleaner beaches.

There were a number of good restaurants. As we were there for only 24 hours we only had supper and lunch, both good. Whale watching was the reason for our visit , which we thoroughly enjoyed. Again Ana our host suggested the company which had a marine Biologist Kim who was extremely knowledgeable and experienced.

El valle is very very rural and wild.
El valle is very very rural and wild. We wanted total relax and this place is perfect for this. There’s only a few hotels and all of them have this eco-sustainable vibe that is amazing. If you’re staying at a house (not a hotel) I recommend buying good in Samaná before coming. There’s only very little “colmados” that have maybe ice, been and chips but not big like a super market. There’s not a a lot of restaurants either. Only a few of the hotels have them. There’s a local (and cheap) one called DON PIRON where you have a variety of dishes. There’s a pizzeria also.
I also recommend a 4x4 car or at least one that’s not small, the roads are not in perfect shape and there’s lots of dirt roads.
