Vista Mare Samaná

This location is absolute perfection! The view is just outstanding even during cloudy days. The staff is helpful and friendly. There are security guards all around the property which made us feel real safe. They also got mangoes and coconuts for us all for free. The buildings, as stated by other reviewers, could use a little maintenance but that would not stop me from visiting again. Dinner at their restaurant was ok but breakfast was good. We really enjoyed the walk to the beach (a workout) but well worth it and all the vegetation throughout the property. Lovely place. It's only twenty minutes from Las Galeras beach and it's a beautiful drive. Lots of restaurants in that area as well.

Sehr schönes Hotel, bestehend aus Apartments, die hervorragend eingerichtet waren. Der Blick auf die Bucht von Samana war herrlich und man konnte sogar Wale vom Frühstück aus beobachten. Ein Problem war die Lage des Restaurants und des Pools auf dem Berg. Man hat es sich überlegt aufzusteigen oder lieber im Zimmer mit herrlichem Blick zu bleiben.

Our visit was very relaxing. The pool, the beach, security, reception and restaurant were all very good. The start to our day was excellent, as we enjoyed coffee on our balcony overlooking the ocean! Highly recommend this place!

This property was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The pools were clean. The food was wonderful and a good price. We were hungry late at night and they delivered food to us in the room at no additional cost. They put us in a corner suite on the 3rd floor. Panoramic view of the ocean. Gorgeous. Quiet. Clean. The bed was super comfy. The bathroom shower was impeccable. Hot water. Good water pressure. Modern. Soap, shampoo, conditioner. I was very satisfied and will definitely be coming back.

- La propiedad esta muy descuidada, - Los apartamentos sucios y hay cucarachas, - No nos limpiaron el apartamento aduciendo que nuestra estancia era solo de 2 dias a pesar que por telefono nos confirmaron que si lo harian. Cuando pedimos esa limpieza nos dijo el jefe de seguridad que el coste adicional para esta limpieza era de 25 USD, a lo cual nos negamos. - La playa esta sucia y las hamacas en un estado lamentable.

This was a very beautiful spot to stay. The grounds were very clean and the staff were nice and helpful. The beach was so amazing. Very private. I’ll be back next year for sure.

Me encantó la vista al mar, la playa y la piscina

The private beach was stunning and a welcome break from the crowds.

The property looks like it was an amazing place to stay in the distant past. It needs work. There were many issues with the unit I was given and had to be moved to a new unit 3 days later after trying to tell the right people the issues. This property is located on the side of a cliff, which makes for great views but you will also be walking very steep paths to the beach area and common areas to get to them. I do not recommend staying at this location if you do not have transportation. There is no uber service and taxi service was the most expensive of any country I've stayed for some reason. There are limited places to eat and purchase food from so make sure to come very prepared if you choose to stay at this property.

The views are outstanding. The buildings tier down on a hill and every room has a good view. The pool area is nice, the restaurant has great views. The buildings definitely need a LOT of maintenance, however, and overall the restaurant is quite expensive. We booked a 1 bedroom apartment and it was a nice size with a great patio. The AC works great and the couch was comfortable. Unfortunately, there was no hot water and there was no real drinking water. The hotel does not sell large bottles of water so unless you have a car, you are out of luck. It's very bizarre to me to not offer any way to get water in a country where you cannot drink from the tap. The restaurant was fine, very overpriced but the service was good overall. I never received my $25 credit and had to argue for it, but still very unsure if they ever applied the credit. Would I come back? yea, for the right price, I have the right expectations now. I will definitely bring groceries, water, coffee next time because there's no where else to go nearby. It's a good base to explore Samana from.

The property is dirty, full of insects,and the staff are not very friendly. They seem to be reading off a script for every question asked. They did not have hot water for us. I asked for an extra bath towel and they did not have any. There are better options.

Me encantó la playa y la piscina. La decoración del apartamento. No me gustó que habían mosquitos.

La cortesía del personal, instalaciones cómodas y limpias, hermosa vista desde las habitaciones

The place is terrific with a gorgeous view to the bay and the beach and pools are amazing. The only thing that dislike me was that the villa wasn’t very well cleaned. The bathroom toilet was dirty and the floor and walls dirty as well.

Once we get here, there seemed to be blood colored stain on the hallway floor near our door. We than had to switch rooms because the A/C to our room wasn’t working and half the kitchen was dismantled from some work they never had finished. once we get to our new room, we realized there was no running water. Bathroom sink had hair in it and drainage was awful. We had to call reception everyday because running water was nonexistent at least once a day. Once we checkout I ask for some kind of discount for all the troubles we had to go through and they tell me I can get half of on my next stay, like I’m looking forward to going through this again. Staff is extremely nice and they try to be helpful. It’s unfortunate because this property can be great. Never seen a better view than this one but the property needs heavy updating

Me and my family stayed at this beautiful hotel from 02/15/24-02/19/24. The apartment was spacious, clean with a breathtaking view of the Samana Bay. We were able to spot lots of whales out of our balcony!! The beds were cozy and clean. The breakfast was delicious. I would recommend this place for everyone and would definitely come back here some day. Special thanks to the manager Freddy, Alejandro receptionist for the smooth check in/out and for everything!

The staff was so warm and welcoming. The restaurant was excellent and accomodated are requests for "Dominican " cuisine. However, the roo mhad many deficits: no place to put clothes. We lived out of our suitcase for a week. Shower head needed to be changed upo arrival. No hot water upon arrival. No instructions how to use the equipment, TV, oven. Lack of cooking utensils and pans for oven and microwave. . No soap , shower gel or shampoos until four days after we arrived. It seems as if no one checks the rooms after the previous guest leaves to make sure everything is working. Also we had to use a key to ope and close the safe since it was\'t possible to open the safe.

The premises are stunning, boasting a beautiful and immaculate pool area, along with a friendly and helpful staff. However, the rooms/apartments require maintenance and upgrades. Many kitchen utilities, including the stove and washer, are non-functional. Additionally, the bathroom toilet was leaking, and the television connection is extremely poor.

Our 1-bedroom apt was really run-down. The East and West beaches were beautiful, and so were the hotel surroundings.

The location of the property is amazing. Views are amazing. But the property needs maintenance. When arrived LOCKS DID NOT WORK. Washer mashing did not work A/C in the living room was leaking lots of water. JACUZI was NOT working. You can tell the property has seen better days. THE STAFF WAS AMAZING, TRYING to solve all the problems we had with the 4 bedrooms apartment Lots of stairs, (not good for heavy luggage) but they sent people to help us to carry our luggage upstairs.

I had an amazing stay. Only had 1 issue, no internet for 12 hours. This has been my 4th visit here to the vista mar. Id definitely will be back.

Excellent place to relax. Good views and food. Only negative that your balcony is close to your neighbors and there is no privacy. Other than that everything was great.

The property that I stayed at had extraordinary views from the bedroom one night you could see the moon rising The next day there was an incredible thunderstorm I enjoyed watching from the apartment. My only suggestions I would say to the property owner that is managed by the maintenance staff on site. The sliding doors had some difficulty opening and closing a microwave would be nice in addition the grease trap for the vent above the stove needed to be cleaned. There was a washer and dryer on site, which is amazing if you’re spending more than a week there you just need to remember to bring your own detergent. The restaurant offered American and Dominican breakfast options prices were reasonable. I would also like to suggest to the Property owners to have some good pool cues since they were missing the cushions on the tips. If you were to walk to the beach, you need to put on some good walking shoes no flip-flops since there are very steep hills and steps to go down and up. I would definitely come back to this again. It felt like home and it was very comfortable. I There were two controls to the air conditioning unit one for the Living area and one bedroom Everyone on site was very helpful and friendly May happen to be the seasons for mangos we were able to get mangos that had fallen from the trees close to the apartment for breakfast and snacks if you want a quiet place with incredible views, this is for you

Servicio espectacular, lo único que mejoraría es el Wi Fi que casi inexistente y a la vez el sistema de televisión es muy complicado y la señal va y viene todo el tiempo

Una propiedad con muy buena localización, nos sentimos muy seguros y bien atendidos. De destacar a la srta Carla de la recepción y en el area del bar y restaurante a Fernando de Leon y el otro señor que ahora desgraciadamente no recuerdo el nombre. El manager también muy atento a nuestras necesidades. Si regresamos a Samana por seguro nos hospedaremos ahi otra vez

Staff was really nice I recently stayed at your hotel and experienced a delay of 2 hours at check-in before I could access my room the hotel was having issues with the WiFi and can’t see my reservation. I wanted to bring this to your attention as it affected my experience. I appreciate any steps you can take to ensure smoother check-in processes for future guests. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Maintenance issues are real. We had multiple issues and response was very slow.

We had a whale of a time in Samana if you can pardon the pun! Vista Mare has suberb views, excellent staff and overall a10outa10 place to stay. Would love to return.

Muy bonitas instalaciones y el personal atento para resolver cualquier percance. Disfrutamos nuestra estadía.

Excellent service See Fernando for excursions

We happened on this place after looking at maps of Vista Mar jutting out into Samana Bay, promising both sunrise and sunset from the same property. And that’s just what we got along with great daytime views of Samana Bay, occasional whale shows off shore, and the stupendous mountainous national parks lining the South side of the bay. And then there’s two idyllic private beaches. It’s a great Resort with all the service and amenities you could ask for as well as a wonderful home base to explore the beaches and mountains through the Samana Peninsula. We found the staff friendly and helpful, particularly the resident manager (Freddy), who responds and often anticipates whatever we needed.

The view from our room was spectacular, very picturesque and breathtaking. The hotel is a good distance from Samana City which made options for food very limited. The restaurant on the hotel grounds, although the staff was amazing- the food was very mediocre. Other than that great hotel.

Place is out of this world. Breathtaking views everywhere you go. The food, the service.

I had a fantastic time at Vista Mare, all the rooms had an ocean view and it was whale watching season, this place is perfect for that. It also has private beaches. I'd recommend staying here. The staff was lovely, but the food wasn't excellent would be the only downside but you have a kitchenette.
