Relaxing at GBP. Samana We spent 2 weeks in the gran bahia principe samana hotel. This hotel is not for everyone. But if you want a quiet, elegant, relaxing vacation, with good food and friendly service, then, this is the place for you. Not much animation, small but beautiful hotel, nice pool and lovely beach. It is not the place... more

Returned from a great week Feb 4th. We were very pleased with the hotel,activities, staff, entertainment and food. We have travelled every year for the past 12 years to many locations, usually 4-5 star destinations. We always use trip advisor to pick a location and decided it was time to start sharing our experiences. Rooms- just like the brochure- beautiful,... more

I will try to just give facts rather than opinions. Places I've been to compare to: Paradise Island - Bahamas, Punta Cana - DR, Puerta Vallarta/Los Cobos - Mexico, Maui - Hawaii, Hoguin - Cuba, Ocho Rios - Jamaica. Room~~~~~~ We got the Junior suite with a gazibo type area rather than a belcony. View - Excellent. 5 windows that... more

My Husband and I stayed for 1 week, Dec 24th through to Dec 31st and wished we had booked a second week. Everything was fantastic from cleanliness to wonderful food and fantastic service. Only problem was that the restaurant insisted that my husband wear long pants and we only brought one pair. Note to Guys: Bring long pants. more

My husband and I spent a week, including Christmas day, at GBP Samana. I would return in a heartbeat. The hotel, its three restaurants and Casablanca-like lobby bar were all located in a three-story (Spanish colonial style?) building. Painted in a delightful shade of pink (it really works!) accented with crisp white pillars and balconies, the hotel draped itself across... more

My wife and I recently stayed at this resort based on reviews on this website. We did not experience any of the great things people have been saying. The only good thing was our room but who wants to stay in their room during their vacation? The food was okay but not 4/5 star level. Service was poor. Hotel staff... more

Truly paradise for those wanting an intimate, relaxing and quiet holiday. There are trips available outside but we liked the place so much we did not leave. A stroll down the road to a litte village was interesting to see the DR culture and stretch our legs. Staff just fantastic. Accomodations were gorgeous and that view was spectacular. A little... more

Secret Hidden Paradise... Spent last week of April In GBP and loved it. The hotel is very nice, rooms are spectacular with amazing view on the ocean and mountain coastline. You can really relax and watch sunsets from your balcony as I and my Boyfriend did. The food was good, can't complain except maybe the wine but who drinks wine... more
