Everything was perfect 👌 The owners were so nice, accommodating, and made sure that everything was as perfect as possible! I can’t say enough good things about it. But I’ll try! A/C was ice Cold. Nice hot water in shower. Everything was super clean! Bed was comfortable. Security was great. Pool was clean and well taken care of. Very beautiful floral and fruit trees. Breakfast was delicious and very fair additional price. Owners had great recommendations for exploring the local area and places to eat. The town more felt safe to walk around than some other places we have visited, especially in the evening. The bungalow is walking distance to TWO great beaches and even a cave to explore!

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 👏

Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.4
Very Good - What previous guests thought, 73 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.

Hummingbirds have always been special to us and Hotel Playa Colibri lived up to it's name! The property was absolutely lovely. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. 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! Oh and we loved the Holiday decorations "magically" appearing on Dec.1st. Thank you!!!

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 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

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.

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.

The proximity to restaurants and night life was terrific. The resort itself was great. We loved the unit we were in. Also, the restaurant on the property was very good. A few more street lights between the resort and the main drag would be helpful. Otherwise, it was an easy walk to everything.

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.

Unfortunately the beaches around weren't in the best conditions. However, that wasn't the hotel's fault. It was the fault of a tropical storm that had passed 2 months prior which affected everything. Despite this, the hotel staff did their best to recommend other activities like hikes and waterfalls, which were amazing. The food at the hotel restaurant is amazing. The location in which you stay has the mixture of being clearly in a tourist accommodated hotel but with a touch of the real Dominican experience. Prices around the whole area are quite fair. My main complaint would be that getting there in your own vehicle is complicated because of the conditions of the road for the last 20 minutes of the drive, as well as the conditions of the roads to get to the waterfalls. However, still an amazing trip. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family.
