Doncel Hotels near Samaná

"Enjoyable afordable clean hotel. The highlights for us were the stunning sea views and great staff. Thank you to Virginia at the bar who helped us with our Spanish lessons and was always a joy. We enjoyed our four nights immensely. The only thing we thought could be better was the food especially in the two restaurants, buffet was far better than both but we still had full bellies everyday. I would happily return again !"

"Nice "

"I’m giving this hotel two stars mainly because the beachfront location is beautiful and the staff was genuinely friendly. Unfortunately, friendliness does not always translate into good customer service. We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days, and from day one we had ongoing issues with the air conditioning. It broke down at least twice a day—most often after midnight. We called to report the problem at least six times and requested a room change, but although we were repeatedly told it would be fixed or that we’d be moved, neither ever happened. Until the final day—less than an hour before checkout—there was someone at the room trying to repair it. Hot water was also inconsistent.About half the time, there was no hot water when we tried to shower. Housekeeping was unreliable as well. The room was not cleaned properly, dirty towels were left behind on one occasion, and on another, clean towels weren’t provided at all. When we requested them, it took over two hours to receive replacements. The buffet food was mediocre and repetitive, with little variety from day to day. We tried two à la carte restaurants: the Mediterrenas restaurant was excellent, both in food and service, while the Fusion restaurant had good service but very disappointing food. In conclusion, I would only recommend this hotel if you’re primarily looking for direct access to a beautiful beach and friendly staff. However, if food quality and timely resolution of issues are important to you, this may not be the best"

"The resort was beautiful! All of our rooms were clean and the maids were so kind. All the staff were AMAZING. Especially Jose. We felt very safe the whole trip and had the best time. The beach is also STUNNING! The drinks are amazing too. "

"Loved the pool, beach, staff, meals! "

"Loved every minute! Very attentive and loved his big my apartment was! Property right in front of the beach. Will definitely be back with my boys. "

"Estuvimos hospedados del 7 al 11 de marzo 2026 la pasamos super lo recomiendo 100% el trato de los empleadas Ana y Carmen las recepcionistas fueron de excelencia, los empleados del restaurantes muy atentos, el desayuno riquisimo, los alrededores muy seguros, el hotel todo ordenado y limpio. "

"The hotel has the potential to be a best in class place. The infrastructure is there but staff should be better trained. There was no water from 3-5 PM in our rooms for 2 days and the person checking us in AT 3:00 should have informed us of that. Instead there is a little note on the table easily missed and we didn’t see until we tried to use the restroom in the room. The restaurant randomly closes on particular days and when I asked why they said they didn’t know. Pretty property and the food at the beach place is good even if expensive. "

"The Good: Most rooms have a balcony with views. Clean rooms/linens Breakfast good - made to order The Bad: Staff speak no English and lack customer service training No wifi in rooms - only in lobby Room TVs not connected to wifi, cable or satellite - useless! Took 10 minutes to get hot water flowing 4 floors, no elevator Breakfast only - must go down into town for dinner"
