Where do I start? This is an unbiased review from a frequent traveler to the Dominican Republic. I choose where I want to stay without the assistance of a travel agency.
First off, this property sits at the top of a hill all by itself and boasts amazing, near 360 degree views of Samana town center and the surrounding port and bay/ocean.
The view from my oceanview room on the 4th floor (412) was absolutely spectacular.
The room was clean and inviting. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the room had everything we needed. Anything we were missing, and the staff went out of their way to get it for us (ex: the property had no instant creamer for my morning coffee, and the housekeeper went out on her own and bought me powdered creamer).
The atmosphere both inside and outside was mostly tranquil which is exactly why I chose this property.
The staff were warm and friendly. Everyone including the Fran the GM, Stailyn, the Beach Manager, all the bartenders and food service staff, housekeeping services, security, and even the grounds staff made us feel like royalty.
Samana is my favorite locale in the Dominican Republic, and Eurostars Grand Cayacoa is a hidden gem worth visiting.
