Heres a question for you locals. Hillybilly, AZB, CC, Grahame etc, hope you all can answer this one.
When last in DR I went to Samana Island. It was in parts beautiful and in some areas a little trashy. But right in the middle was a hotel that was, well just stood empty. I even went inside and there was still holiday notice boards up . It looked like something like the Marie Celeste! I think it would be a great place if done up!
Also to the south bit of the island, away from the bar shacks and stuff, was a restaurant, again just stood empty,
Can anyone tell me why they closed? and when? Are they for sale? Have people ever lived on Samana island? Who controls the island? Couldnt they clean it up a bit?
cheers folks. See you in a week. Maybe we could have a few presidente's together!
