The Area Surrounding the hotel is just amazing. either which direction you travel you will always find something to look at and explore. My Girlfriend and i traveled from edmonton to toronto then from toronto to samana. We had booked through west jet. Flight was fine. we had a red eye flight so it was very quiet. Once arriving in...

We visited this resort from April 28 to May 5. Myself, my wife, and our 4 kids (5, 6, 8, 11).This was our first family vacation abroad and we couldn't have made a better choice. Even with 2 rooms, we still paid less than $1000 for this all inclusive resort for the full week. The rooms were clean and comfortable... More

When I'm home during the winter in canada. I often invision myself being on a tropical island. Samana is that vision. The bus ride from the airport to the resort was breathtaking, mountians on one side and the ocean on the other. Sure the resort was a little tired, but the oceanview from our room more than made up for... More

I went to this hotel on a business trip - quite odd considering this is an all-inclusive hotel for Europeans on vacation, but I didn´t want to stay in busy, noisy Samaná. I found this hotel a very good choice - a clean room with working air-conditioning, big plasma TV and amenities all in order. Food and drinks were very... More

Well, i know its all about expectations and based on the poor reviews we were quite cautious about our expectations. However, once we arrived and started to experience this wonderful\beautiful resort and area we fell in love with its beauty... More

This is my 2nd visit to GPS.We had decided to get married at this resort after we stayed here the 1st time. The hotel is not luxurious, but it’s the beauty of the property and the uniqueness of the beach that drew us back. The fact that this resort doesn’t crank out a dozen weddings a day was very important... More

We arrived on April 23rd and was not expecting a 4 hour bus ride to our hotel but when we arrived the extra trip was worth it. Everyone was very friendly. We liked our room with an ocean view and the maides made sure to keep our room clean and stocked with drinks. The food was delicious and a variety... More
