Viva V Samana by Wyndham, A Trademark Adults All Inclusive
Excellent food! Beautiful beach and beautiful pool. Staff was fairly nice except for the front desk. Staff who were very very rude unless you spoke Spanish or or French. We spoke English. Also, when booking for this place, make sure you get a flight that is not through POP airport as it’s 3 1/2 hours ...

Donoma Las Terrenas Beach Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection
Beautiful room and overall property. Staff was very attentive and food was good. Beach was within a few steps from property and the pools were very enjoyable. As a new hotel there a few kinks to be worked but overall, we enjoyed our stay.
