Very nice hotel in Las Galaras

Lovely location right on the water, with a great beach (la Playita) a short 10 minute walk away. Complementary yoga in the morning was a highlight. Town unfortunately has way too much noisy and polluting traffic as is the case throughout Samana peninsula, but the hotel is super nice.

Relax to the Max

Such a beautiful property! The restaurant was delicious. yoga was amazing. A perfect place to relax. Everyone was helpful and kind. The only disappointment was that there is no beach to enjoy. When the tide is out there is a small patch of sand. We would definitely stay there again!

Small walk to town; property is beautiful. Our rooms a bit dated, and we couldnt figure out the shower to get hot, water barely came out. The instructions, seemed outdated, so the buttons didnt work. One of our rooms A/C leaked the last night, all of our bags that we left on the floor and also the Chair. luckily our passports werent damaged. I expected a credit or our troubles, but none was offered. Front desk wasnt always staffed so couldnt get bottled waters or ask for help with the A/C; Food was great and Bar staff friendly. The grounds and iew are absolutely beautiful. Would return again though

So here's the pros's and then the cons. It's a beautiful and tranquil well kept property with its own little beach. The pool was clean. The rooms face the ocean with a beautiful view and the air conditioning worked well. The employees were super nice/kind and the breakfast was excellent. There were intermittent problems with the water and wifi while we there, but they were fixed in an hour or two. One thing that needs to be improved is that the bed and wicker chairs in the room and on the balcony were older and uncomfortable. Also, with the rooms being in a hot high humidity environment and not running the air conditioning when vacant, there is a smell of mould when you enter the room. We also found that despite going in low season, the price after local taxes and charging for a second person ended up being the same as an all inclusive. I would recommend it for the pretty location and friendly service, but not for the comfort of the room and price.

I was sad to arrive after dark and leave in the morning after only one night! What a beautiful property. The rooms are spacious, everything was clean, staff were very helpful. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the restaurant staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The only improvement I could see is that some soft furnishings - throw pillows etc. - looked like they could use replacement or cleanable covers (maybe they can be/are cleaned but it was hard to tell). Can't wait to return next year!

We had a lovely stay at this charming Colonial style beachfront hotel. A highlight was also the charming restaurant which had many vegetarian and vegan options which can be hard to find in this region. Our room was spacious as well aa the terrace with lovely waterfront views. Highly recommend to anyone considering this hotel.
