Watermelon House, hotel in Santa Bárbara de Samaná

Situated in Santa Bárbara de Samaná, within 1.6 km of Cayacoa Beach and 38 km of Pueblo de los Pescadores, Watermelon House offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property.

The host Bartosz was super nice, we felt like at home. Despite the fact that the neighbourhood looked scary in the first sight, it turned out to be amazing. I would recommend to all solo travellers,students and less demanding people.

Ganesh Hostel & Shivas Bungalows, hotel in Santa Bárbara de Samaná

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 Santa Bárbara de Samaná

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.

My first stay at a hostel was delightful. The warm welcome and the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds made it a memorable experience. The staff and Lucas were attentive right from the start ☺️. The price I paid for the night was very reasonable. I had a cozy private room with a comfortable bed. Although the bathroom was small, it was always clean, which I appreciate. The central location of the hostel, just a short walk from the beach, was perfect for me. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning to explore Las Galeras.

    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.
