Hotels with Swimming Pools in La Mara

"Absolutely extraordinary venue with spectacular views from every corner. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. We took a room for 2 adults and 1 child. It was plenty large with freshly supplied towels everyday. I didn’t get the purpose of the small pool in our balcony as we barely used it. But we definitely enjoyed the main pool and the beach pool. The food was amazing. Definitely loved trying out the local food and the seafood. The wellness centre was also wonderful. Loved taking some of their sessions. Also tried out the spa and that was wonderful. A shout out to the wonderful staff serving and cleaning and advising guests of the facilities and events for each day and you definitely know this place caters to families as it has a good kids’ menu and a children’s activity centre - El Conuco - the lovely Yine does a lovely Cassava workshop. She went above and beyond keeping our little one occupied with activities schedule. Special mention to our ambassador Rafaela and Amstar Berny Green who organised our tours to Limon and Los Haitisses. "

"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."

"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."

"Clean and relax hotel perfect to get away of the noise and lay back, especially the spa with a nice relaxing atmosphere to unwind. "

"I love the food, the staff the views. My second time going. Frantz and Jose from rec reception are the best. Jennifer and Gigi from entertainment will have you dancing away your night and days Amelia from the bar serves the best drink in the spa the food everything to die for recommended to anybody family couple couples my second I’m going I will definitely do."
