I'm just doing some early planning for making it to Samana for Whale watching next season and I might make a run to the area sooner to check out other sights.
I'd be traveling on Caribe Tours from SD and I'm having some difficulty finding an ordinary non-resort-AI hotel. I'm thinking of a $35 to $60 type with AC that's pretty common in other coast towns. Internet reservations. All I seem to find are expensive AI's or references to very small/ local places with no website, no AC.
I don't have any special prjudice against small cheap hotels and if there's a breeze or fan the AC is not essential.
I just don't want to get stuck in some place that's full of unpleasant surprises.
Any recommendations on where to stay in Samana for Whale watching or general exploration? AmI better off staying in Las Terranas or another city with better lodging choices and traveling from there to Samana? If so what are the local connections like? TIA
