Hotel Moorea Beach

If it is the one I think it is

It is in Las Galeras, close to Eddy and Nicole's place.

It is very nice. I ate there once and the food was good.
They are friends of my son's (Julio Manuel)

It is run by a German and his Dominican wife, if memory serves.

You will be walking around the place and everything is so close, so enjoy this a lot.

There is an AHMSA Marina hotel there

And some other places, but Las Galeras is not a big place. I am sure you will find plenty to do...

The hotel has new management. A young French couple -- Diane and Cyril. It's a small, personal hotel. Has the plus that you can stock up on food and prepare bare minimums in your small kitchen. Because Cyril does Internet work, he can offer his guests a good wireless connection to the Internet. Was there recently to use the connection when on work in Samana.

Interesting!!

What happened to Gerhard and his wife? I am not even sure if that is his name.

I do remember that he and his dogs were haveing bitter disputes woth Eddy...

Thanks for the update D. Good to see the place taking ona new life.

Don't know. Cyril told me he had leased the property. It was not a sale.

Got an URL for that hotel? Or was there one in there and I missed it.....I am always looking for places w/kitchens....I HATE the cattle call buffets.
Thanks!

Going to this hotel from July 18 to 21...Didn't even know it existed...found it here on DR1...

Anyone have any information? Is it a good choice?

Tony and I just want to get away from the crowds for a few days....so we thought of Saman?...

But...are there any places we could go dancing at night if we wanted to?

Hillbilly...you are the expert on DR...What do you think?

Thanks!!!

It gives us a chance to go and 'explore' (if you can do that in Samana) the different little restaurants in town.

You will be in Las Galeras. in the Samana peninsula. The town (30km+ or -) od Santa Barbara de Samana is usually referred to as Samanea just because....

Moorea Beach used to be owned by a German fellow, Bernhardt(sp?) & his wife was Greek. They had a beautiful baby girl & 2 butt ugly dogs who chewed up Andy B's dog while I was there & Andy wasn't. Nice little hotel, with swimming pool on a quiet street in a quiet village. Don't figure on a menu then going to the store. It doesn't work that way unless things have really changed. Go to the store first & see what they have, then plan your menu. There were several decent small restaurants in 2003, probably still are. I trust you are familiar with DR discos. Las Galeras style is Basic & LOUD, but man, can those kids dance. Try to establish the price of drinks, it tends to vary by server ( or Puta).

Everything is walking distance in LG & damn near everything is negotiable. Kick back & enjoy. Wish it were I, but this year's budget is blown for Malta, to visit a couple we met in LG!!! & of course to give La Bruja her fill of historical sites. Stan. PS we lived close by for 6 weeks, then 8 weeks, never had A/C, only a fan. No problem.
