Value for Money
9.2
Mixed signals: hotel perceived as premium and recommended, but multiple comments call the on-site restaurant costly (one saying dinner for two can equal the room rate), lowering perceived value slightly.

Excelente hotel para visitar Samana y atractivos cercanos.
Pros:

El hotel tiene una ubicacion excelente frente al malecon de Samana, con una excelente vista. De ahi puedes visitar otros lugares como las playas del Valle y Las Galeras. Al regresar al hotel la piscina cierra hasta tarde, puede seguir disfrutando la estadia y cenar en su restaurante.

Cons:

El restaurante es costoso, una cena cencilla para dos personas puede costar igual o mas que la estadia del hotel.
