La Mara Holiday Rentals

"We loved everything about this place. The views, the staff, the gorgeous design and style of the entire resort, the decadent yet healthy food. The bars made beautiful high quality cocktails and mocktails. This is not your average all inclusive. Everything felt so special. We stayed in a sea view junior suite with a plunge pool and loved it.

"This resort stands out as the premier budget-friendly option in the Cibao zone, particularly for families. While it offers high-end dining and exceptional staff service, the aging accommodations are a notable contrast to the high quality of the amenities. Key Highlights: Family & Kids: The resort excels with a dedicated kids' club featuring GPS safety trackers and a passionate staff. The water park and pool "bubble parties" are major highlights, though management should consider adding safety barriers on curved slides and a snack station near the gym area. Dining: Food quality is impressive for the price point. The buffet is well-organized, and the à la carte options—specifically the Greek and Rodizio restaurants—provide a high-end culinary experience. Amenities & Staff: The staff across all departments (drivers, servers, and entertainment) are supportive and professional. The beach at Portillo remains a top-tier feature for its calm, pristine waters. Areas for Improvement: The rooms are the primary drawback; they are functional (hot water and comfortable beds) but look dated and are prone to maintenance issues like AC leaks. Additionally, guests should be aware that on-site convenience stores carry high markups. Verdict: Highly recommended for families or groups seeking a cost-effective, high-service escape in Samaná, provided you prioritize amenities and location over modern room decor."

"We had a wonderful stay at Hacienda Cucuyo! The views are absolutely beautiful, especially from the room—waking up to that scenery was unforgettable. The pool is great, and the long private plunge pool from the room was such a special and relaxing touch. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy stunning surroundings! 🌿✨"
