Tropical Lodge

I don't know how it is now, but I stayed there in the past, nice clean rooms, quaint French hotel, owners very pleasant (Jean Phillipe and Brigitte Merand).
Very reasonable rates at the time, nice dining area. Great view of the ocean.
Convienent location, right on the malecon and walking distance to different restaurants.
Hope this helps (and no, I am not affiliated with this hotel - just had the business card still !)

They are booked through 2007+. Aren't they the ones who sold to the Jehovas Witnesses as a retreat?
Alida and I stayed @ El Marinique in Las Galeras for a few nights, and found it most acceptable. Drop AndyB a note.
Tookthe words right outta my mouf!!
The TAMBORA is a nice place although it is not "near' anything. But then, again, everything is near on the penisnula..
If budget is no object, you should at least look at Villa Serena....
But, I will reinterate, El Marineque is a fine place to stay....and food is better than Villa Serena..

Tropical Lodge is closed as a hotel for 2 years. The company with the contract to build an Aqueduct for the Samana area is using the entire hotel as lodging for its employees.

Ditto what SHE said! I stayed there last in 2005 and may I say that while there ARE cheaper places, there was none more quiet at night. You don't want to be cheap and stay at a place next door to a disco! So enjoy Tropical Lodge!
Or....I also stayed in Las Galeras and that was more beautiful. I would say to stay in LG and shuttle back and forth in guaguas, if you can handle that.
Good luck and do report back!

Oops! I missed the BAD news about Tropical Lodge being used to lodge workers. What a Bimbo I am. I had better rush back to the Sanky Panky forum where I belong with my fake nails and fake hair and IQ of 80.
we are leaving for samana on friday, still no accomodation - everything is either booked or expensive. :tired:
today we are calling again nice lady from one of the guest houses, she promised to help. :bunny:
my friend is very excited about EVERYTHING (except throwing used loo paper to the bin, not the loo itself) :cheeky: . i will ask her to write her own trip report so i can post it here.

we stayed in an apartment close to the malecon, very dominican house, clean - if you do not mind some dust.
3 bedrooms, kitchen/living room. son of the owner (or maybe just a lady that rents a place) also arranged whale seeing for us for 1400 pesos per person.
apartment - only cold water, typical electricity issues.
it was sort of ok, thou.
price: 3000 pesos for two nights. sleeps up to 6 people (two double beds and two single). so divided gives a vary nice rate, does it not? but only if you don't care about luxuries and only want to to have a place to sleep and cook.
