The hotel is owned by the government and was most recently operated by Occidental Hotels. It was closed several years ago. Occidental also operated the government-owned Cayocoa hotel overlooking Samana harbor and the Gran Bahia opposite Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) on the north shore of the bay. However, I heard rumors they were no longer operating the Gran Bahia and I don't know the current status of the Cayocoa.
