Hotel con colazione inclusa a Samana

WHALES! Abbiamo ritornato a questo resort dopo una splendida prima esperienza nel marzo 2023. Quest'anno, seduto sulla terrazza, alloggiato nelle due piscine di lusso e anche nel ristorante del resort, abbiamo visto le balene di madre Humpback e i loro vitelli di un mese di età che si inghiottivano nel Santuario della balena della Baia di Samana, La vista dall'apt. è semplicemente sorprendente se è della baia completa dai palazzi alti o più vicino alla costa marina degli appartamenti frontali della spiaggia. Tutti gli appartamenti sono dotati di tutto ciò che è necessario per un soggiorno confortevole, compresa lavanderia.Abbiamo organizzato di avere un cuoco locale per preparare un pasto completo con prodotti locali e pesci freschi. Abbiamo goduto del suo riso e delle sue pesche di cacao, delle sale verdi gettate, delle piante fritte e deliziosamente fritte di pesce, seguite da un vaniglia disgustoso e liscio di cottura a.k.a. ”flan”. Il soggiorno, disponibile tramite Airbnb e altri motori di ricerca di viaggio è stato anche incredibilmente ragionevole. Sono dotati di alloggi per coppie e famiglie con condominio per fino a 8 ospiti con 2 e 3 camere da letto. Abbiamo deciso di renderlo una tradizione annuale! Torneremo a Xeliter Vista Mare per goderci il sole, la vista di Samana Bay, le balene Humpback e, i piatti locali più belli.

We stayed at the Bahia Principe Luxury Samana March 11-18. Here is our feedback There are some potential “negatives” about this resort, although they were not issues for us (except perhaps the last one) 1) Resort is a small boutique 140 room resort, if you are looking for nightlife and party atmosphere, go elsewhere 2) The beach is rather small and little washed out, but nonetheless very accommodating and private 3) The resort has a lot of stairs, there are elevators in certain areas but be advised that you may need to use your legs! That’s good since the food and drinks are so excellent you need to burn off calories 4) The road is close to the resort, depending where you are you can sometimes hear the noise. Thankfully the rooms have soundproof doors that work well to hide the noise 5) There is nowhere to walk outside the resort, road is not safe to walk As for the positive, there are so many to list I don’t know where to starts 1) The Food – So EXCELLENT, really (like really!) good, at both buffet and “a la carte” restaurants. They are all really good, and great attention to service by staff. I loved the option of pre-booking all our restaurants 5 days before our arrival, very nice 2) The views are amazing, from every location, all you see is the sea, absolutely stunning. Our favorite was the view at breakfast and lunch from the buffet, we even saw whales swimming in the bay in front of the resort 3) The drinks and bar service are superb, we enjoyed the “Drink of the day” every day. They always use fresh ingredients (fruits etc) and top shelf spirits for mixing. So good!!! 4) All the staff are so nice, I can’t compliment them all personally here, but special shout-out to Dario (Mamajuana!) and Rosa at lobby bar, Ingrid was our favorite server, Daurelin at front desk was always smiling, and Leandro for his Yoga/Pilates/Workouts. Really amazing people 5) Free Day-trip to Cayo Leventado was really pleasurable, beach there is amazing (but public) 6) Rooms are nice and comfortable, we paid for Junior Suite upgrade and honestly, I think the standard Balcony Room would be great 7) The resort is so small that you get to know all the guests, which was very nice. Met some very nice people from Canada, France and Germany. Adults-only is also nice! We definitely recommend this resort for those looking for a peaceful, relaxing and intimate holiday with great food, good drinks and panoramic views.
