Wyndham Alltra Samana All-Inclusive Resort
The rooms, while spacious, seem average at best. There is too much moisture inside and when you turn the AC on, it gets very sticky and humid. The property as such is very well located with great beach access and the pools are excellent. Food was very good too with great selection in the menu.

Mosquito Boutique Hotel
Over price for the room they offer. Second I was supposed to have a room with a beach view and I didn’t have, only I had a parcial view. Not what I requested.
