Imagine unwinding on quiet beaches with hardly a soul nearby. Surrounded by coral reefs and verdant rainforests, Samana is one of the Dominican Republic's best-kept secrets. You'll love the unique combination of natural beauty and quality resorts of this low-key sun destination.
Samana, probably the prettiest part of the DR, is on a peninsula off the north coast. The area has limited development and hotels are small scale so you can really enjoy the natural surroundings. Resorts are scattered across the peninsula and aren't close to town making it easy to escape to the swaying palms and soft white sand of a quiet beach or to hike through pristine jungle forests.
Because resorts are relatively isolated and the area is less travelled, packages include meals and drinks and are a great value. If you're looking for the best deal, try a "roulette" option. For a cheaper price, you find out which four-star or better hotel you'll be staying at just before you depart, so you really can't lose.
