Samana , Vistamare. Spectacular Ocean & Beach Front Apartment.

What a fantastic place! We had such an amazing stay and Fernando and his wife are excellent hosts!The view is amazing and nothing about it disappoints. We were there during whale season and from the large balcony we saw whales every single day! The condo is very spacious and the sliding windows are just amazing. Like others have said, the property needs a little TLC but the location and the condo are unbeatable.The bed was quite comfortable, a little on the firm side but not too firm. You are very close to the waves and hear them through the night. They are loud enough that we actually had to close the sliding doors to watch any TV at night. While no one else mentioned it in other reviews, there is a rooster that lives on the other side of the fence to the property that is loud and goes from 4:30 am through to about 5 PM. We wanted to sleep with the sliding doors open and listen to the waves crashing but after 2 days we gave up. We had to close everything and use the AC, which in March isn't needed unless you close everything. The host is trying to see if the rooster can be moved but not sure that is feasible. The beaches are also amazing. The condo overlooks a smaller public beach and the other one is larger and has loungers and palapas to sit under. The beaches were deserted and most days we were the only ones there. It was like we were on our own private island.The view from the pools is also amazing and watched the whales every afternoonWe would definitely return!

The view makes the stay!!

Fernando is an amazingly kind and attentive host who is more than happy to answer any questions. This apartment is beyond words beautiful. The view is out of this world. We loved the bedrooms being on opposite ends of the apartment, each with their own bathrooms. The common living space is large and comfortable. The balcony is enormous and overlooks the spectacular beach. Deep soft sand and clear emerald green, sometimes dark turquoise waters. The waves were fun to jump and ride. The other beach (west beach) across the lot seemed calmer for those who do not want waves. The staff were professional and friendly. The pools on site are very well maintained and warm. The restaurant was convenient. Stock up on groceries in town and settle in for a gorgeous and relaxing stay. We can’t wait to come back!

The place Isis very cozy and quiet, excelent for enjoying with family.

Amazing views! Wow. Large space. Very quiet. Great great pool and beach. Eduardo was one of the bed host we ever had. Ratio price/value to be in front of the sea like this is quite unbeatable! We recommend if you want peace and not looking for a social place. Even around Christmas it was almost empty. The outside of the buildings would need love. You can see that the Golden Age was in another decade….

The property manager and host were friendly, professional and helpful

We had an amazing vacation thanks to the gorgeously located comfy apartment with breathtaking view and a super friendly and responsive host! Already recommended it to friends and family and we hope to come back!

property, staff was great - the unit we reserved wasn't available due to water leak. The unit we stayed in was ok, but again, not the unit we had booked -

Lovely property, close to the water, with a constant sound of the surf. We stayed Christmas week, 2022, and there were very few people in the complex. But the pool was well kept and very clean, the restaurant was fine (we only ate there once). The unit had a few initial issues, but the hosts responded to my requests immediately, and sent follow up messages to make sure they were taken care of. I was happy to see that a microwave has been added. When you come, bring everything you need to the apartment: soap, detergent, water, coffee, spices, milk, paper towels--there is nothing there and you can't drink the tap water in the DR. I would have appreciated a list of restaurants and mini-marts nearby.

Amazing location to relax, because it’s view of the bay are so breathtakingly beautiful, so peaceful and relaxing. Because of the mesmerizing sound of the waves crashing. I had to turn off the AC and sleep with the doors open. To enjoy their relaxing sounds. There is access to two exquisite secluded and very private beaches. One side with calm waters and the other side with a bit more action with stronger waves. That were great for those of us that enjoy that kind of action. Location is key and there are abundant amount of activities for everyone in the family to enjoy. From the property you don’t need to drive more than 30 minutes on either direction. To have access to the best Samana has to offer. Including two of the top beaches in the world. The complex is very safe and secure. 24/7 security and the staff is always friendly and eager to assist you. It was hard to leave such a wonderful small paradise. Go out and explore the people are great, it was all safe. Thank you, Eddy
