“Amazing vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

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! We will definitely be back next year :)

“Great vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Great resort in a pleasant and quiet surroundings.
Long and beautiful beach, lots of palm trees, beautiful nature, animals.
Several bars, restaurants, good food, friendly and smiling staff, clean, air-conditioned rooms.
There is always something to do - three pools, volleyball, water aerobics, step aerobics, archery, horseback riding, nightly shows and disco every night.
I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone, it is a real piece of paradise.

“One of the greatest hotels with very good staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013 via mobile

These holidays were simply perfect! Great location and beautiful weather. Fresh pancakes and much more at the breakfast buffet.
The best thing was the friendly staff. Me and my family want to thank one special person who was our camarero. His name is Euris Agueda and he made us never forget our holiday in samana. But also the other nice and professional co-workers are unforgettable!

“Fabulose staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

We were at this hotel for two weeks, we are not very demanding regarding accommodations as far as everything is clean and food is decent and we can't complain about either , in fact the cleaning staff was very good , they were our water providers, I like to drink lots of water and they always provided me with the amount I used.
Food was not bad, I don't use to much salt and sometimes I find it was a bit salty but, it could be me.
For my birthday we had a romantic dinner at the beach, about two feet away from the water just the two of us a fantastic blue sky dotted with stars , champagne , white wine , THREE LOBSTERS EACH and the most fantastic waiter you can imagine, his name is Lirio , he took such care of us that made that day memorable for me.
The nightly entertainment was very nice, we been to many places with entertainment and were surprise how professional this one was, is hard to remember names but one we will is Zapata with his Michael Jackson dances, great fun.
If we were able to thank every one personally, it will be grea, but we only remember some names of people who made our stay enjoyable for example, Sandy Almonte the captain of the AYB, Leocalina who was there for all our breakfast and lunches and Elvio who was allways ready to help and Yudiza who was also very nice. Thank You to all of you.
