Have the whales 'arrived' yet? Can anyone suggest a nice hotel close to the ocean to stay for a few nights?
Many thanks.

Whale Watching Samana 2012
I stayed at the Hotel and Restaurante Chino last year. A very basic hotel at a very basic price, with a decent Chinese restaurant. From the ocean, it is a bit of a climb, but affords a great view of the bay.
This year, I'm thinking I'll stay at the Hotel Docia, because I don't feeling like climbing the steps and because I plan to take the bus this year rather than drive. The town is very nice and lots of families were on the Malecon in the evenings (to me, always a sign of a safe area).
The Hotel Docia is on the DR1 travel section. The Hotel Chino has information available at Tripadvisor.com.
There are some pricier hotels available right on the beach, and some out on Cayo Levantado.

Any sighting of the whales in SAMANA yet? Planning a trip and don't want to be dissapointed. Also, any idea's if there is occupancy in the 'Ocean Front' hotels?
Many thanks

Nope. Was up there just yesterday and was informed they haven't arrived yet
You must be kidding! I saw a dozen of them go past my house the other day on their way there. Aw crap, they probably stopped at a bar in Las Terrenas and...well, you know what happens.
Lol... I was writing an answer then read yours over again and realized you were kidding. Good one! lol
