The owners were very friendly and helpful. The bungalows are cute and have everything we needed for 2 nights. It felt safe and we could walk to the beach and restaurants. We could park our car inside, although there's limited space so be sure to contact them before.

We stayed 4 nights at Takuma and we really loved it! Beautiful construction, thoughtful decor and garden, awesome pool, quiet and relaxing ambiance... The perfect vacation package! The breakfast was great, the owners and entire staff was nice and welcoming, special kudos to the cleaning staff as they did a great job keeping our room pristine even though there were 4 of us! The location is close to all the restaurants, stores and the beach, which we enjoyed a lot. Bravo 👏

Dominican Tree House Village

El Valle
Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3
Very Good - What previous guests thought, 74 reviews
The whole experience of our stay at the Tree House has been amazing. Of course, the first night was a bit scary as we didn't know what to expect when being in the jungle: bats, frogs, lizards 🦎 We stayed for 4 nights and it was great after all! We loved going to yoga in the morning, the home made food, all the games available in the lobby, the sense of community and all the evening entertainment from karaoke to dancing and the bonfire :) Honestly, we would very very much recommend this experience, just being in nature with no internet, listening to the sound of birds or the calm after the rain. The room was comfy, and we had a really nice view, of course bear in mind you are in the jungle, so don't expect hot showers. Other than that it's been great.

I feel like they really over-delivered. the buffet meals were fair (I have some allergies so I couldn’t try everything, but I did have some options each day and they were pretty good), and the restaurant a La cart meals were fantastic. like really really yummy! we loved our time!

The staff went above and beyond, working their collective magic to make sure we had a wonderful stay. We were touched and grateful for all the efforts of Yury, Aron, Pedro, Saul, Hemie(spelling) - the housekeeping and restaurant staff. WE look forward to returning in the future!

We liked the Mosquito Boutique Hotel, and Las Teranas was a good-sized place with beautiful beaches and plenty of lovely places to eat. We also tried the beach restaurant at Mosquito. We really only stayed at our hotel for three days, so we did not visit anywhere too much. The shops and decent supermarket malls were good, the area is booming with new developments of apartments, and villas, the general feel and advice from locals is that the infra structure is creaking so more investment is required into the sewage, electricity, and water supplies if the development is to be maintained.

Las galeras is what the more touristy spots (punta cana and puerto plata) were 30 years ago. It is much more primitive but the beaches are amazing and there many to visit. the facilities are mixed - you can find high end resorts and simple rooms to rent. the restaurants are more than adequate but this town does not have the volume of people to keep all perfect all the time expect the mediocre and enjoy when all is great. we will come back it is wonderful

I stayed for one night and honestly wish I had booked a few more. El Valle is peaceful, green, and the kind of place where you instantly slow down in the best way. The WiFi was reliable for remote work, and I was able to get everything done while hearing the river and birds in the background. The space was clean, comfortable, and surrounded by nature, exactly what I needed. If you’re looking for a quiet escape to work, reset, or just breathe fresh air, this is the spot. Will definitely be back.

It is a small town, with some good and some bad beaches. Best if them is Moron. Streets are very tight, and with many curves. There aren't many food options and during the night-time, I didn't felt secure enough to walk on the street. A good point is for the El Limon waterfall, which is a must-see.

Las Terrenas is a lovely northern town on the Samana peninsula. If you want a chilled out vibe, full of locals and nice easy access to different beaches then this is your place. I went as a solo female traveller and found it very good, generally safe, did not feel threatened which is important when you're alone. Plenty of places to eat, but I would do your research first. The food was good, but often the service at restaurants was not so good. Cheap prices. Margarita Bar - inexpensive, amazing quesadillas Gelateria Italiana Artesanal - cute ice cream parlour El Loro - great beach snacks Ristorante Pizzeria Nonna Teresa - a fab family run italian with fresh pasta El Lugar - full options and good tapas style food Boulangerie Francaise - a cute bakery Empanadas y Más - didn't try, but known to have the best empanadas Pizza Coco - go-to amazing cheap delicious pizza Super Mercado Lindo - closest large supermarket if you want options 20-30 min walk or you can get a taxi/bike. Easiest ways to get around if you don't want to rent a drive is the men that drive the scooters, they all wear yellow high vis jackets so that you know they are safe, you pay them anywhere between $200-500 pesos equivalent to $3 for a short ride from A>B. But the dune buggies and quad bikes are popular for tourists to use. I highly recommend getting to see Limon Waterfalls, and I did a day trip to visit 4 secluded beaches. Waterfall tours by Flora Tours. Beaches tours by OBISPO ATM - very good value! Out of the beaches tried, Playa Las Ballenas was the calmest, but nice waters and quieter vibe to Punta Popy. Overall joyous experience for a solo traveller, I stayed at TAKUMA Hotel.

Las Galeras is still rural, with small but comfortable and high-quality hotels. It is an area for ecotourists or lovers of quiet and more unspoiled beaches without the structure and depersonalization of a resort. There are many small hotels and many French-run restaurants that compete with the locals. I recommend going to the local restaurants and try their excellent Creole food. It is effortless to move around the Galeras, although with great caution, because the locals drive their motorcycles and cars with a lot of anarchy and little respect for traffic rules. Our favorite restaurant was Los Conucos. It is a family atmosphere, run by Alba and her husband. Juana, the mother, is the cook, and the daughters take care of the place. It has a barbecue that is very popular with the locals. Their creole dishes are delicious. We paid an average of 25 dollars for two people, including beer. On our next visit, we would like to have cleaner beaches.

There were a number of good restaurants. As we were there for only 24 hours we only had supper and lunch, both good. Whale watching was the reason for our visit , which we thoroughly enjoyed. Again Ana our host suggested the company which had a marine Biologist Kim who was extremely knowledgeable and experienced.

El valle is very very rural and wild.

El valle is very very rural and wild. We wanted total relax and this place is perfect for this. There’s only a few hotels and all of them have this eco-sustainable vibe that is amazing. If you’re staying at a house (not a hotel) I recommend buying good in Samaná before coming. There’s only very little “colmados” that have maybe ice, been and chips but not big like a super market. There’s not a a lot of restaurants either. Only a few of the hotels have them. There’s a local (and cheap) one called DON PIRON where you have a variety of dishes. There’s a pizzeria also. I also recommend a 4x4 car or at least one that’s not small, the roads are not in perfect shape and there’s lots of dirt roads.
