Thanksgiving at sam's? Is there anywhere better to go?
As a fairly long term resident here, I am proud to say that I am a regular at Sam's. You won't find better people anywhere. Yes, the hotel is 112 years old, but the people who frequent Sam's and the people who just drop by make it a very special place. It isn't Casa Colonial (although I love that place, too) but it is friendly. The people who come here are from all over the world and are very interesting, the food is extremely good and reasonable. I would not even consider having my Thanksgiving Dinner, Christmas Dinner (including Joanne's "Christmas in July" celebration) anywhere else. I just don't know where else I could go to have such enjoyable times as I have had at Sam's. And they have a library of English paperbacks...."bring one, take one"....old time Caribbean tradition.
I understand that there are great places in Sosua and Cabarete, too. (Hi Rocky, will make it there one day!!). However, I work for a living (such as it is) and I really don't have time to visit there. Why would I when Sam's is right here, under my nose!!! Viva Sam's!!!
