With its beachside setting and stylish looks, this luxurious hotel is the ultimate Dominican escape.
The Cayacoa sits in arguably the top spot in Samana Bay. We’re talking a widescreen panorama of green hills, turquoise seas and pale golden sands.

Step inside the hotel and it’s just as impressive. The lobby sets the scene with polished marble floors, plump sofas and chandeliers. And you’ll find a similar vibe throughout the rest of the hotel. Up in the bedrooms expect a colonial feel thanks to carved wooden furniture, ceiling fans and wicker chairs.

Outside, meanwhile, there’s a smart pool scene. Overlooking the sea, the pool is a good-sized curved set-up, complete with a swim-up bar. It’s accessorised with cushioned loungers and a great view comes as standard. Close by, you’ve also got a hydro-massage pool that has it’s own bar and sun deck. And a short walk through the grounds will get you to a tower lift, that’ll take you down the cliff-side to the beach.

In terms of food, you’ve got a choice of four restaurants. The main food hub is a buffet number, serving dishes from around the world. Plus, with three à la carte restaurants, you can twirl spaghetti at the Italian, or take your pick from the Mediterranean and Gourmet restaurants. And if romance is on the cards, head for the one on the top-floor which serves up fabulous views alongside a fusion menu.

Your guide to Samana Town, Dominican Republic - Samana

"With stunning scenery and superb whale watching, Samana is paradise found for nature lovers."

When Christopher Columbus tried to land at Samana Bay in the fifteenth century, he was greeted with a rain of arrows. The natives are more friendly these days. But it’s easy to see why they might be fiercely protective of this jaw-droppingly beautiful peninsula, with its glorious, unspoilt beaches, backed by mountain greenery. If you love nature, you’ll love Samana. The scenery is to die for, with soaring peaks, coconut groves, lush, tropical rainforests and sparkling waterfalls. Pop across the bay to Los Haitises National Park and you’ll find even more stunning landscapes, including some of the most important mangrove reserves in the whole of the Caribbean. Then, of course, there’s Samana’s other big draw that occurs between January and March: whale watching. During the mating season several thousand humpbacks visit the area for some major speed dating sessions. So, you’re in with a very good chance of catching a glimpse of these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. As for the region’s capital, Samana City, you’ll feel quite at home there. It was originally settled by a couple of shiploads of American slaves, and to this day many of the locals speak English as their first language. However, the real beauty of the Samana peninsula is its wonderful Robinson Crusoe atmosphere, making it the perfect romantic hideaway or a bolt-hole to escape from the frantic pace of the rat race. Just imagine it – sitting under the shade of a swaying palm, sipping something cool and refreshing, and simply basking in the glory of one of the world’s last remaining slices of paradise.
