Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the impeccable cleanliness of the property and rooms, as well as the beautiful setting with its magnificent views. The staff is also frequently praised for their kindness, attentiveness, and excellent service. Furthermore, the calm and relaxing atmosphere is ideal for couples seeking rest, and the quality and variety of the food, both at the buffet and in the restaurants, are highly regarded. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the beach can seem short and occasionally noisy due to its proximity to the road.

I loved it!
J’ai adoré!

It's a small, quiet resort. Exactly what I needed. The only downside was the food. The buffet lacked variety, and the number of reservations allowed at the à la carte restaurants was too limited. Otherwise, it was perfect!

C’est un petit resort tranquille. En plein ce dont j’avais besoin. Le seul bémol, c’était la nourriture. Ça manque de variété au buffet et le nombre de réservations permises aux restos à la carte est trop limité. Pour le reste, c’était parfait!

No beach bar or toilets, and the à la carte restaurants are limited because anything without a star on the menu is extra, and there are no drinks in the fridges, only water.

Aucun bar et toilette à la plage et restaurants à la carte restreint car ce qui n a pas d étoile sur le menu est payant et pas de boisson dans les frigo juste de l eau

Wonderful stay
Séjour magnifique

We stayed at the adults-only Bahia Samana: my partner, my son TSA-DI, a friend, and myself. Our friend arrived the day before. Check-in was quick and efficient, and the gentleman who carried our luggage to our room was smiling and courteous. We had requested two double beds, and that's what we got on the 3rd floor, accessible by a small elevator. We were glad we opted for a room with a balcony and sea view. The extra cost was well worth it. The view is breathtaking. I could happily wake up to that view every morning. Our friend was accommodated on the 4th floor in a huge room with a window. The beach was magnificent, the sea was free of seaweed, the waves were good, and the scenery was superb. My son benefited from the kindness of most of the staff throughout the week. Now for the downsides: the mattresses are a bit soft, the air conditioning is noisy and not very effective, but at least it works. The bathroom is a little small; it would be a good idea to install a towel bar, perhaps on the wall in front of the toilet, as there's nowhere to put towels to dry them. The whirlpool bath has a drain plug that's impossible to close, and I hate those glass panels installed on the quarter-circle of the tub because, with the handheld shower, it splashes water all over the floor. The ventilation in the bathroom isn't good, and the humidity tends to cause the paint to blister. I believe renovations are planned for the fall; a fresh coat of paint in certain areas wouldn't hurt. Despite all this, the hotel is beautiful and clean, and the grounds are equally so. The gardens are very well maintained. The buffet was very small and quite repetitive. A major shortcoming for a hotel of this category. No more upscale food options. The two restaurants we visited were decent, nothing more, thanks to the smiles and warm welcome from the staff who cared about us. However, it was a bit of a hassle to book a room, as there were only two options for Friday and Saturday nights; the restaurants were closed the other nights. This hotel isn't suitable for people with reduced mobility because there are a lot of stairs everywhere. As for us, we enjoyed it despite that; it gave us some exercise. There's a gym for the more active guests. The hotel clientele is pleasant. It's a calm and peaceful place. The weather was warm and sunny all week with a nice breeze. I especially wanted to thank Basilio, Viktor, Luis, and many others whose names I've forgotten. My son called them his friends. They were very welcoming to him and made him laugh many times. We would go back without hesitation tomorrow morning. I highly recommend it if you want to relax and enjoy a little slice of paradise.

Nous avons séjourné au Bahia Samana pour adultes seulement mon conjoint, mon fils TSA-DI, une amie et moi. Notre amie est arrivée la veille. Le check in a été rapide et efficace et le monsieur qui s’occupe de porter les valises à notre chambre souriant et courtois. Nous avions demandé 2 lits doubles et c’est ce que nous avons eu au 3 e etage avec petit ascenseur. Nous avons apprécié d’avoir opté pour une chambre avec balcon vue sur mer. Le supplément en valait le coût. La vue est époustouflante. Je me réveillerais bien chaque matin avec cette vue.
Notre amie était logée au 4e étage dans une chambre immense avec une fenêtre. La plage était magnifique la mer aucune algues de bonnes vagues et le paysage superbe.
Mon fils a bénéficié toute la semaine de la gentillesse en grande majorité du personnel .
Les bémols maintenant: les matelas un peu mous, la climatisation bruyante et plus ou moins efficace mais au moins elle fonctionne, la salle de bain un peu petite il y aurait intérêt à installer une barre à serviettes peut être sur le mur devant la toilette on sait plus où les mettre pour le sécher. Le bain tourbillon impossible de fermer le bouchon du bain et je déteste ces installations de vitre au quart de la baignoire car avec la douche téléphone ça éclabousse partout sur le plancher. La ventilation n’est pas bonne dans la salle de bain et l’humidité a tendance à faire cloquer la peinture. Je crois qu'il y a des rénovations prévues à l'automne un petit coup de peinture à certains endroits ne feraient pas de tort. Malgré tout l’hôtel est magnifique, propre et le site tout autant. Les jardins très bien entretenus.
Le buffet était très petit et assez répétitif. Un gros manque pour un hôtel de cette catégorie. Aucun aliment un peu plus haut de gamme. Les deux restaurants fréquentés corrects sans plus grâce aux sourires et à l’accueil chaleureux du personnel qui se souciait de nous. Par contre, un aria pour réserver car il n’y avait que deux possibilités pour le vendredi et samedi soir les autres soirs les restos étaient fermés.
Cet hôtel n’est pas fait pour les personnes à mobilité réduite car il y a beaucoup d’escaliers partout. Quant à nous, nous avons apprécié malgré tout ça nous faisait faire de l’exercice. Il y a un gym pour les plus actifs. La clientèle de l’hôtel est agréable. C’est calme et serein comme endroit. La température a été chaude et ensoleillée toute la semaine avec un bon vent.
Je voulais remercier tout particulièrement Basilio, Viktor, Luis et bien d’autres dont j’ai oublié le nom. Mon fils les appelait ses amis. Ils ont été très chaleureux avec lui et l’ont fait rire à maintes reprises. On y retournerait sans hésitation demain matin. Je vous le recommande fortement si vous voulez vous reposer et bénéficier d’un petit coin de paradis.
