"I had an amazing time here at hotel bannister. The view was amazing, the hotel was clean, and the staff was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast on site was great as were the restaurants. Overall I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone."

"The property is quite big & well maintained by staff. Staff were very friendly and would teach guests a few words if interested. Front desk and Concierge staff didn’t all speak English so relied on translation apps. The buffet served a lot of local foods which was great although would have enjoyed more variety night after night. There was often some type of pool exercise or entertainment in the day and evenings. The property is 1.5 hours from Samana airport and transportation from the airport is not provided. The hotel is not great for people with mobility issues. There’s no path to the beach from the nearest restaurant; you have to walk across a grassy field so would help if there was a path. Couldn’t enjoy the Al A Carte restaurants because they’re all near the beach & too far for my father to walk. Thankfully the buffet was good. I’d recommend this hotel to able bodied people for sure, great staff and beach!!"

"The room was clean and well maintained. The staff was very attentive and hospitable. We enjoyed our stay even though it rained the first two days. I loved getting up early and walking around the island listening to the doves every morning. "

"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! 🌿✨"
