My wife and I chose the AC Roulette option, both for the great price and anticipated quality of both suggested properties (GBP El Portillo and Cayacoa), as a result, upon landing in Samana, our AC Rep. Joel (nice guy by the way) informed us we were to stay at the Cayacoa. Bus ride to the resort was ok (approx 40... More

I would rate this hotel highly with only a few negative points - Like most reviews state - awesome view, quiet relaxing location. Food was good, found buffet a little repetitive, but not much different from other hotels I have been too in the DR. Did the Gourmet and Seafood Ala Cartes - both were good. Had a great room... More

While reading some of the negative reviews, I have to wonder if we were at the same resort. I travelled with my husband, daughter and son in law. We all loved it and will go back in a heartbeat! The rooms were immaculate. The staff is so very friendly. There is a definite language barrier since we only speak English... More

We spent 4 days at this resort and had fairly good experience. The rooms are big and have balconies; they are willing to upgrade your room from standard to room with the ocean view, which was a big plus. The personnel is super friendly and accommodating. However they are cheating about their restaurants, which was a little upseting. You need... More

This resort has some of the most amazing views I have ever seen, very, very pretty. We had the upgrade, a beautiful room and view but there are a lot of stairs involved in coming or going from the main part of the resort, it is on the side of a mountain so this can be expected so if you... More

English beware this hotel has a minimum three and a half hour transfer from the airport Thompsons only provided an old minibus. I don't think the hotel is suitable for older people or those with walking problems. I am 61 and my husband is 64 - we are not in bad health but found getting to the restaurant and snack... More

First comment / warning, if your travelling from the UK then you will have a minimum of 3.5hrs transfer when you land to get you to Samana where the Hotel is. Our flight was delayed hrs so when we landed... More
