our reception was very warm as returning guests. euris the receptionist, recognized us immediately and gave us the feeling of family returnig home. the rooms were immacutely clean with fresh flowers decorating the bathroom and beds. the all inclusive services, especially the restaurants out did themselves in taste as well as decoration. although the guests were of mixed nationalitys, there was no stress, just relaxation pure. euris went the extra mile to make sure our stay was the most enjoyable vacation ever, even learnig german to make my wife even more comfortable. thanks again euris and we hope to see ... you next year in may 2014. read more

For 8 years now, we have been spending every year 4 weeks’ vacation at Grand Paradise Samana. It is always with the same satisfaction that we enjoy the place: great nature, nice surrounding, helpful management and staff team, relaxing and friendly atmosphere, well organized animation.
We ‘d like to congratulate the great service of i.e. the general manager Heny, as well as Roberto, Samuel, Noris, Leocalina, Sandy Anisio, Youseepe, Maldonado, Wendy etc. (different members of the staff team).
We are really looking forward to come back as often as possible in the years to come.

Hi there, the worst reviews over the hotel i can at all not understand. The complex is not the newest, but really top maintained, for the money what you paid for, you can't complain. The food was always fresh and warm there were enough selection, i have never had such a good buffet, the food is of the quality a lot better as in Germany, mosquitoes there were no ☺ and if you go there must you absolutely go on excursions ☺ we booked our trips at Marcel in las galeras sunshine holiday booked, were all great, cheaper than in ... the hotel and above all in small groups ☺ all in all it was a wonderful vacation had never thought the a vacation so can be nice, but unfortunately way too short. The best 14 days book ☺ and not Iberia or FTI. read more

Great hotel, in the middle in of nature on of the peninsula samana. No other hotels in the vicinity; only the small town las galeras. Transfer from Puerto Plata quite long (about 4 hours), but it is worthwhile really! read more

I can only say magnificent vacation and the advice. January until march whale observations to make, because it is just gorgeous! Also i can tell you Marcel very prompt, a german immigrants in the village/town las galeras (10 minutes walk from the hotel) its yellow cottage and on the you can book tours. A very competent and above all serious seller. He makes fair prices, has always german tourleitungen therewithin especially sells no crowded tours with 20-30 tourists on a bunch of. But shares his tours correct in small groups on, so that all tourists are happy. I have a ... total of 7 tours through him and will next year his cottage renewed storm ☺ Bacardi-island, los haitises, el limon and whale watching are a must! To the hotel: we had a bungalow which was clean and spacious was. The beach is clean and tidy. Recommendable beaches: el fronton, el rincon, Playa playita. An absolute dream! A tip still. Pays really only in pesos, not Dollar or euros, because otherwise could you really about the ripped off. Small flaw at the hotel. The hotel would like to 5 Dollar per day for a 2. room card, what for me personally already little bit of rip off and internet you should not use. Way too expensive and slow. Rather into town and used in the restaurants wi-fi or in the internet cafe. I will definitely next year whale season be back ☺ read more

A hotel, the ' is somewhat older'. Run-down, but still clean.
The quality of the all inclusive is however the, what bothered us the most.
But apparently that is standard. We are your own fault, we know indeed
That all inclusive always its quirks. Who so more importance on quantity than quality sets, the sentence.
But we would never stay in a massive all inclusive-facilities go. There is many nice small accommodation,
The much more and certainly not cost more. read more

The hotel is outdated. Was in 2000 already times since, at that time were the furniture not so worn. But is the service the best, what you can imagine. The employees are very friendly and the food is great and varied. read more

This was our second time at Grand Paradise Samana and what an amazing time it was. We stayed for two weeks with our 2 boys and we enjoyed every second. The staff were fantastic and made it that much more enjoyable. We made great friends, like Jessi who we knew from last time and is a fantastic person. She was great with our kids and always had a smile on her face. She sure made our vacation. It was great seeing Yousseff (who we also knew from last time) who is always there to help if you need anything. Thank ... you all for everything (Sabatta thanks for the CD.the boys listen to it every day) and thank you Luis for helping us with the stroller). Miss V thanks for being sooo good with the kids! Thanks Mikiki for the dance lesson) We will definitely be back next year) read more

This hotel is dreamlike in the paradisiac nature samanas integrated. No building of the hotel towering the palm trees garden and on the way to the restaurant you get always of snowcaps or nice smelling petals on the wayside accompanied. We were for the 3. time within 15 months here and it is simply pure Karibik vacation-dream. The period for christmas was a great experience. Everything was lovingly to the smallest detail and the christmas buffet has all the Krone fake.
All of the staff are friendly, helpful and has all foreign languages skills. So no communication problems to be ... afraid.
Because the hotel a private beach (bay) has, you can always surely relax.
For the rooms goes big praise to the cleaning ladies, the always good job showed.
In short it is worthwhile come here! We are definitely coming again. read more

As always all very clean and well-kept. read more

Large area in the middle of a tropical garden, palms to the sea, as protection from the sun serve. Fantastic beach, very friendly staff. The food unfortunately quite cold and nothing for gourmets, but it is at the buffet always something. Snorkeling, although only 100 meters and even from the beach from reachable only by boat and a round ringelreihen around the snorkel capacity, since provider monopoly has per snorkel course 10-€ requires.
On the weekends flow locals as guests to the hotel and ensure each quantity commotion.
Las galeras is easy to get to, from here there is public ... buses, besides offers Marcel, a german on the main street, favorable excursions at.
With the different tour operators, you can also excursions book, in my opinion you can Bacardi-island of cayo levantado as an excursion destination forget.
Umbrella or rain shelter not forget. read more

We have been the 3. time here, i think this speaks for itself. However the hotel is now in need of renovation (plumbing) but it has now begun. The outside area is however a dream, palm trees without limits, mountains and turquoise sea. The bay is unique and far and wide no other hotel. At the beach 10 minutes to the left you are in the small town las galeras, with its shops, bars and so on there you are also met with the german emigrants Marcel and Diana(sunshine holidays), desk there again! We were 6. and we could the ... day design by yourself, so no massenabzocke and, of course, cheaper. One walks at the beach to the right, one comes through a palmenwald, of plantations by the klippengaststätte el capito, to visit! The food in the hotel is good and diverse (ice cream delicious) in november the hotel is never fully booked, so very quiet. Otherwise we canadians, americans, a few french and russians seen (is) but it was no negative. The evenings are worth seeing, this time were but a little too loud. As soon as you come in samana land and not only in Puerto Plata, we will be back here. read more

We visited Grand Paradise Samana Nov. 20 - Dec. 4. This resort was great!!! The staff were amazing! Yousseff was great fun, always smiling a nice man. We had a nice trip from the airport. Reception was very quick and very pleasant. The reception would give you room key, remote for the TV, and safe key$, Our bungalow was great. It was clean, plenty of room and a great location, #3124. The buffet had great variety, tasty hot food. The cold food was cold. Lovely desserts. Pork, beef, fish, chicken done differently every meal every day. If you wanted something ..., you would just ask and they would get it. They had bottled Coke, diet coke, sprite, Corona, bottled beer, brand name booze They had cappacino, espresso, all teas. Brand name cereals. Great breakfasts. The beach was beautiful. The pools were clean. On the weekends the locals would visit, it was a bit busier then. There was some seaweed and it was a bit murky, but Jan. Feb. it should be clear to the bottom. The disco was clean, & fun. The photographer was funny, he would bring a parrot, iguana, and monkeys to pose with you $. We got a great deal $875.00 each all inclusive for two weeks. You can't stay home for that. We LOVED IT We definitely go back. read more
