Rooms terrible for the price they are terribly over priced . Need to change roooms make them bigger and decorate them for what they charge. Cleaness in all the property beaded
Wonderful vacation, beautiful property and the nicest staff. Both restaurants in the hotel were outstanding.
Highly recommend and will return for sure.
Quiet, beautiful each with perfect water; helpful cabana team bringing you water, drinks, and food; several great restaurants; incredible staff. You will not want to leave.
This is a one of a kind jewel in the Carribean. The staff is excellent. Food is top notch. Beautiful beach. Accommodations are well appointed and very comfortable.
Absolutely fantastic in every way. We spent every day on the beach - our room had a direct access to the beach and it was super easy. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, the staff was very friendly and accommodating- we especially enjoyed the staff who worked at the beach: Nico, Mathias and Ansel were excellent. Altogether a speechless experience.
This was the most wonderful vacation! The entire staff was so friendly and helpful. I have never experienced this level of customer service on any other vacation. Food and drinks were amazing from the restaurants to the beach and pool.
The only criticism was that we had a plunge pool room and it’s not a plunge pool, it’s a hot tub. This was one of those vacations that you are sad to leave and can’t wait to come back.
I had a wonderful and relaxing time at La Samanna. The staff is what truly makes this place special. They are very attentive and ensure that you are well taken care of. My favorite dining experience was at the Italian restaurant, where the food was excellent overall. I also had a massage at the spa, which was incredible thanks to the experienced staff. The beach is stunning, with crystal clear waters and soft sand at your feet. If you're looking for a quiet and rejuvenating getaway, I highly recommend La Samanna. I will definitely be returning!
With a panorama view of the Caribbean from my room, how can that be surpassed? Staff is very attentive to just about anything a guest could require. Excursions can be booked with the concierge if you want to explore the island. Otherwise the resort has a nice selection of restaurants including one with a Michelin star chef; 2 pools and beach paraphernalia. Quiet and low key.
La Samanna is perfection. From the beautiful beach to the landscaped gardens and nothing is too much trouble for its friendly but extremely efficient staff.
Luxury at its finest. Best hotel on the island. One of the best in whole Caribbean. Excellent restaurants and meal options. Cant say enough. Worth every penny.
Spent part of our honeymoon here and had the absolute best time. The room was nice, the grounds are beautiful, the beach is gorgeous, the service was unbeatable, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. We also loved the heated pool. Will absolutely be back again!
The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful

Staff was very short, none informative nor were details or guidance given to tourist/us.
Communication between drivers and front desk concierge was terrible. The coat per night for the stay would suggest 5 star service, It was not.
With that being said, we expected much better level of service, communication for travelers and direction considering cost of stay. Would not recommend.
