“Loved It!!!”

Reviewed June 11, 2013

We are 2 mid aged women that vacation for 1 week annually in mid May. For 12 years we have left our jobs, homes, husbands, animals and children behind, and found paradise on the beach with a great room in a beautiful, tropical resort. We could not have had 12 incredible vacations without using our travel bible "tripadvisor.com". Please feel... More

“Nice Hotel, but... Horrible Service”

First of all: Sorry English is not my first language, so I will write the best I could: The Hotel is Old, but nice and Luxury. We were just arrived from St. Barth after a week at Le Guanahani. A perfect “10” by the way for these people…. La Samanna was the other side of the story: The Beach is... More

“Beautiful Resort”

Reviewed June 5, 2013

I have read the recent reviews which correspond to the time we were at the resort. We agree with most everything that has been said except for the poor service. We were concerned that the renovations would spoil the charm of the property. However, when we walked through the front entry and took in the amazing view of the sea... More

“Fantastic resort/some room for improvement”

Reviewed June 3, 2013

Amazingly beautiful resort. Amazingly beautiful beach. Room was great with direct beach access. Main disappointment was the service which was hit or miss. I'm pretty easygoing and not very demanding but staff was inattentive/hard to find and requests or inquiries for items like water or a towel, made us feel like we were imposing rather than a guest. I've stayed... More

Dear Nettlets, Thank you for your feedback. While I am happy to hear that you thought your room and the property itself was beautiful, I regret the service you encountered. It is comments such as yours that help us identify what areas need improvement. Please accept my sincerest apologies as no guest of ours should feel as they are imposing.... More

“Beautiful property and location; service needs improvement”

I just returned from a 4 night stay at La Samanna. The property was beautiful, situated on a stunning beach, and our room had a patio that opened right onto the beach. The spa was incredible - the therapists were very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. Overall, it was a great getaway, but the service needs some improvement. The... More

“A truly magnificent experience, with only one "but"”

Reviewed June 2, 2013 via mobile

We visited the Caribbean in May, to join a 62 ft catamaran in the B.V.I. For an eight day holiday. Friends advised us against depending on the local airline, to get us in and out of Tortola on schedule. Stories of delayed, rerouted and rescheduled flights abounded, so we flew in to St Maarten/Martin, two days early, and stayed at... More
