Internet access in Grand Paradise Samana

I just spoke with Grand Paradise reception and the internet inside the hotel cost $5 an hour and you have to buy a code to hook up to it in 1 hour increments. Only the bungalows have the signal so if you are in a regular room you have to go find the signal and pay for it.

I used to have a data plan with the local cell phone company named Orange. It worked great, I did have a contract though. I think that you should be able to do something like this on a temporary basis but it will be pretty expensive. You would have to set it up in Samana though. I'm not even sure if there is a shop for any of the phone companies up there. You would have to check into it.

Codetel's Communicard offers its use for Internet access (dialup) for 100 pesos you get like 2 hours or so, from regular phone you dial a toll free number (1-809-200-xxxx) but it is very likely that access to toll free numbers is charged at the hotel either a per-minute o per-access rate.
