Ganesh Hostel & Shivas Bungalows, hotel in El Valle

Featuring a garden, shared lounge and free WiFi, Ganesh Hostel & Shivas Bungalows is located in El Valle, 300 metres from El Valle Beach and 48 km from Pueblo de los Pescadores.

The fireflies. Being able to use the kitchen. I wish they'd listed that on the facilities so we could have brought food to cook since the local restaurants in Samana are so expensive despite being shabby. There are no decent supermarkets anywhere nearby. Great views and beach and woodland walks.

Il Triangolo Hostel, hotel in Las Galeras

Set in Las Galeras, less than 1 km from Las Galeras Beach, Il Triangolo Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

The owner of the hostel, as well the others I met there, was really friendly and makes you feel welcome. I had a „room“/compartment of my own that gave me more privacy than a dorm. I liked it a lot to have my plug, lamp, wardrobe and mirror. It’s easy to meet other travellers there. You can prepare your meal if you don’t want to try one of the cute restaurants of Las Galeras or the delicious empanadas sold on the Main Street. Bring you own coffee, there’s Italian coffee makers for a good start in the morning. There’s small shops close to the hostel, and you can use the fridge, very useful. Las Galeras has several great beaches, so it’s worth staying a while to relax. I miss it already! Grazie per tutto!

Karin, the owner, was fantastic. Some days she was alone taking care of the cats, the horses and the hotel and still would take time to check in with all travelers to see that they were fine. It is very simple to organize horseback riding trip there, good nice horses, well taken care of, and loved!

    I had an excellent stay at this hostel, everyone who works there is friendly, there's breakfast which for me is a plus, the place is cozy and clean, close to the Malecón to take the guaguas and it’s walking distance from the beach, the pier where the tours leave to the haitises and Cayo levantado and Caribe tour where you take the bus to Santo Domingo. They also have pets, three dogs and a kitty cat.

    The only positive aspects are: location, breakfast offered by the owner (it was good, and that was kind from him, I appreciate it), availability of ingredients for free in the kitchen, the guests I met at my arrival, the hostal's cute dog (following us when leaving the hostel).

    Super nice guesthouse, it's perfectly located to move around the Samana Area and do day trips. Also the Caribe tours bus stop (to go to Santo Domingo or other places) is 10 minutes from the hostel. The rooms are private and pretty nice. Dodley is an excellent host, always helpful and smiling. Definitely the best place in Dominican Republic.

    The location was near to the Malecón and felt safe. We walked to most locations. There was access to Netflix and bikes if you wanted to use them. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable. There were only two of us, but the house could accommodate a family comfortably.

    Very friendly, helpful, uncomplicated hosts, who care touchingly, received the apartment instead of the booked single room due to renovation. For the cheap price you get clean, simple accommodation, with a good bed, decent toilet and a romantic terrace. Recommended for everyone who travels on a small budget and can do wit little comfort.
