Whale watching with Whale Samana was an amazing experience! We spent 4 hours and saw at least 10 whales. We even got to see a whale breach right in front of us! Really nice boat and worth the money. The best time of the year to go is January - March. For an extra $5 they will drop you off at the island Cayo Levantado for the afternoon. Also beautiful!

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.

Cayo Levatado was AMAZING, from too to bottom. Tranquil, clean, beautiful ocean and rooms, friendly/helpful staff and LOTS of offerings. My only request would be to add a daily (maybe even two) yoga class. Nothing else could even be improved on though - perfect just as you are Cayo!
