Sabana de la Mar Vacation Rentals

"The property is quite big & well maintained by staff. Staff were very friendly and would teach guests a few words if interested. Front desk and Concierge staff didn’t all speak English so relied on translation apps. The buffet served a lot of local foods which was great although would have enjoyed more variety night after night. There was often some type of pool exercise or entertainment in the day and evenings. The property is 1.5 hours from Samana airport and transportation from the airport is not provided. The hotel is not great for people with mobility issues. There’s no path to the beach from the nearest restaurant; you have to walk across a grassy field so would help if there was a path. Couldn’t enjoy the Al A Carte restaurants because they’re all near the beach & too far for my father to walk. Thankfully the buffet was good. I’d recommend this hotel to able bodied people for sure, great staff and beach!!"

"Excelente servicio,buen trato, todo prefecto"

"The room was clean and well maintained. The staff was very attentive and hospitable. We enjoyed our stay even though it rained the first two days. I loved getting up early and walking around the island listening to the doves every morning. "

"Still need some improvement in the service but globally extremely good. The entertainment team was very good. Thanks to Mr.Brown and Mr.Candy! If you like swimming in the ocean, the hotel is directly in front of agitated water. We had a few days with no swimming allowed. But you can walk outside the complex limit to get into calmer and crystalline water."

"We had a great stay at Dreams overall, and the service really stood out. The staff as a whole was warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout our trip. Theo, Adrianna, and Francis especially went above and beyond to meet our needs and were consistently kind and helpful. There were also several other team members who made a positive impact, even if we didn’t catch all of their names. The entertainment staff was wonderful as well—always pleasant, smiling, engaging, and creating a fun atmosphere for guests. The food could have been better, with more variety and options available, but overall we had a very enjoyable stay and truly appreciated the excellent service from the team."

"Yes"

"Drinks could use some improvement."

"Internet was horrible, and basically not available anywhere on property. At one time, had access, very slow, in the restaurant."

"Hotel was okay, but it didn’t meet my expectations given the price point setting and reputation. Service was inconsistent. While some staff members were friendly, overall interactions were not warm across the front desk, bar, and restaurant. The service also had a different feel from the very accommodating, welcoming interactions I’ve experienced at other hotels in the area and the Dominican Republic. At the beach, service felt particularly inattentive. We spent time seated there and no one came over to check if we wanted to order anything. One interaction in particular stood out. I went to the bar to order two piña coladas and then sat at a table in the common area by the bar to enjoy them. The space was mostly empty, with several empty large tables. A waiter approached and told us we couldn’t sit there because we were only two people. I explained that we were just finishing our drinks and would happily move if the table was needed, but he responded with visible attitude, rolled his eyes, and walked away. It felt unnecessarily rude and left a negative impression. Breakfast was very good, with lots of tasty options. The room was just okay—clean, but somewhat small and a bit cramped for the price. There’s also no door on the shower, which faces the bedroom and can feel awkward if you’re not traveling with a significant other. The beach setup was also somewhat limited, with only a few loungers on the sand, which didn’t seem sufficient for the number of guests. "
