It's 15 minutes from town, so perfectly tucked away but a car is a must. The resort sits on a massive hill with the beach below. The views are breath-taking from every angle. The pool is great. The food is good, highly recommend Chinola juice, delicious! The villas are modern, clean, comfortable, w full kitchens. The service is awesome. My... More

We agree with previous reviewers, this is a stunning place. We ate dinner at the restaurant every evening and the chef is great, service also, if you ask for the head, English speaking waiter. Our only complaint is that you really need a car to get down to the beach, and we were discouraged from renting one by the lack... More

The clean look permeates everything. Quiet, surrounded by nature, fantastic views from every room, good food, good service...can't ask for more if you want to explore Samana bay, Rincon beach, watch whales from your room (Feb/March), or Las Terrenas but you ned a car or else hunker down and enjoy the amenities and relaxed atmosphere. If you try it once,... More

The views from the balconies are well worth the stay alone! Very clean, and the staff are extremely helpful and prompt. Very modern, and the beds are very comfortable. We had an awesome view of the cruise ship in the bay as well as we were able to see the whales from the balcony!

We rented a 1 BR condo from the owner, very pleased with the rate. Incredible view of Samana Bay. Two private beaches for this community of about 100 units. Gorgeous beaches but a very steep paved walk up and down! Pools are lovely, food is great, good attentive service. Prices ok in restaurant but 28 percent service charge adds up.... More

I cannot say enough good things about this property. From the accomodations, to the staff, to the food, to the great facilties (pools, beaches, gym, spa). I tried them all and will absolutely be back. Reading other reviews, let me clarify some of the negatives (that had me concerned before arriving). The big one is the "hill". Yup, it is... More

Located on a cliff in between two stunning coves Vista Mare is a good value option when visiting Samana' peninsula. Very close to amazing beaches the condos are brand new and with amazing views.The restaurant is ok , the pool is great , the water of the ocean has strong currents in this location , so be aware. The other... More
