Hmn.....I have stayed at the Tropical Lodge in Samana, Todo Blanco in Las Galeras and Club/Playa Bonito in Las Galeras. The last is the only one I recall having A/C, though I was there off-season when it didn't matter. You can PM me for more info.
I am curious to read your trip report - enjoy.

Me and Carlos stayed in Club Bonito...I would send you the pictures, but unfortunatly you are bring me the pictures back when you go, cuz I left them down there. lol
It's not really a big party palce. It is BEAUTIFUL...but more of an upscale place that had older couples and families.
Has a nice pool..drinks are not included and are a big expensive. I will have to look up some of the otehr places we were thinking of staying at.
For resturants they have nice food in the hotel, it is a bit pricey, but it's one of the only places that took Visa.
If you want to drive into Samana, there is a Chinese resturant at the top of a huge hill that has a great view, and AMAZING food, and reasonable prices, considering how much food they give you. (One plate is enough for 2 -3 ppl!!)
And I gotta find u the name of the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life. It's hell getting there, but it's worth it. But I thinks u gots to bring ur own beer and snacks for the day. We went during Semana Santa, so there were lots of places to get beer and food, but I don't think that will be there during the normal season. There is also a very clear and beautiful river by this beach, and for a few pesos this guy will take u up the river in this little boat that looks like it is 100 years old...but it is sooo beautiful!!!
Hope you enjoy it. I loved Samana...I hope to go back there soon.
