Question

Can anyone share their experiences of a vacation to samana, dominican republic?

Answer 1

WOW ! IT BEGAN WITH AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY  ON THE BACK OF A MOTOCONCHO WITH MY SUITCASE BETWEEN THE HANDLE BARS RACING THROUGH 20 MILES OR SO OF WET AND WILD BUT OH SO BEAUTIFUL HAIR PIN CURVES THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE MOUNTAIN ROAD SCENARY IN THE COUNTRY AFTER THE BUS LEFT ME ON THE MAIN ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE TO FEND FOR MYSELF. HONESTLY ,THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP FOR ME. ........    BUT,   WHEN YOU THINK OF IDYLLIC CARIBBEAN, THINK SAMANA!  NOT PUNTA CANA . THE TOWNS OF LAS TERRANAS AND LAS GALLERAS ARE SMALL TYPICAL DOMINICAN TOURIST TRAP TOWNS WITHOUT THE HEAVY NIGHT PULSE THAT SOSUA OR BOCA  HAS TO OFFER BUT ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU INTERESTED AND VERY PLEASANT .  IN LAS TERRANAS ACCOMODATIONS ARE PLENTIFUL AS ARE DINING OPTIONS THAT CATER TO EVERY BUDGET. HOWEVER, IM SURE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE WILL AGREE THAT  THE LURE OF SAMANA IS ITS NATURAL BEAUTY AND ROMANTIC APPEAL  . I ALMOST FELT OBLIGATED TO FALL IN LOVE  WITH SOMEBODY.    ..............  .EVEN THOUGH THE PARTIALLY COVERED OUTDOOR DISCO GOT PRACTICALLY FLOODED OUT  FROM THE MERCILESS DOWN POURS THAT FINE EVENING , AND MY DATES PRETTY LITTLE FEET GOT DRENCHED , WE HAD A BLAST AND A HALF.  UNTIL I GOT HER HOME !  .............I THINK I SAID IN ONE OF MY PREVIOUS ANSWERS THAT A GOOD UMBRELLA CAN BE A GALS  BEST FRIEND IN THIS COUNRTY. IMAGINE THE  WISE IDIOT WHO FORGOT TO PACK HIS RAINCOAT FOR HER !        WOW!       SLEEPLESS AND  LOVELESS  IN  SAMANA !

I describes it as one of the true gems of the Caribbean,Samana which is a gorgeous beach surrounded by mountains. The surf was really rough, but wow, was it beautiful.
