We spent a lovely week with friends at this hotel early in 2012. The transfers were awesome. The people were friendly and kind. The hotel separated our guest in the hotel, which was not optimal during our stay. We did however get to know the hotel well because of the room positions within the site. The beach and views were...

We had a oneweek stay at this restort. Hilltop location overlooking Samana Bay, spectacular views. A short walk to town. The staff at check in were very friendly and welcoming. All the services at this hotel were wonderful, from the resturants to bar we always had top notch service. The pool was very busy, you need to get there early... More

My cousin and I stayed at the Gran Bahia Cayacoa from January 30 - Feb 6 and had a great time. I'll break down my review into sections to make it a bit easier to read. Transfers and check-in: The transfer from the airport to Samana takes about 45 minutes. Our 'tour guide' provided very interesting information about the Dominican... More

We recently returned from Gran Bahia Prinicipe Cayacoa (Jan 21-28). Like most of the reviewers, we found the resort to be wonderful. It was clean, well maintained, had delicious food and excellent staff. We couldn't have asked for a better resort. I don't want to repeat what so many others have stated, so I will just touch on a few... More

We were a group of 8 of various ages (from 23 to 60) who stayed at the hotel from January 26 to February 2. We had mostly positive feelings about the resort but overall enjoyed our stay. I feel that we got an awesome deal for $920 per person including tax (on red tag); other days were considerably more expensive... More

My boyfriend and I ended up getting this trip for free because a problem with a previous vacation. Our expectations were low going in; we were just looking for some winter warmth. However, this resort was suprisingly lovely, with many great features. Overall I do recommend it. However, the north shore of the Samana peninsula and Cayo Levantado are probably... More
