Where should we stay in Las Galeras?

pebblesnorman · Mar 4, 2009

Hi all,

Looking for your input as to a good place to stay in Las Galeras. Looking for something not too expensive, not too far from the beach, and that serves breakfast. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I like Elmarinique@hotmail.com (?). Run by Andy and Nicole. Close to beach, quiet, very good food. They have little cabins with enough comfort for a good time.

I understand that the roads have gone to pot but that is doable.

Have fun,

HB

There are a lot of places in Las Galeras, which are not too expensive and serve breakfast and are close to the main beach which is the less nicest of all the beaches in the Las Galeras area.
All the others beaches are a little spread out and have no accomodations very close to them as some are part of protected areas where no building is allowed and are only accessable by foot, boat or horse.
A good website to get an overview is Samana.Net-English-Deutsche-Francais-Italiano-Espanol (hope DR1 does not mind mentioning it).

Thanks guys, any others have suggestions? We're taking a closer look at Todo Blanco and Casa Dorado right now, anybody have any thoughts on those?

Stayed at Todo Blanco - right on the beach. Very nice place and friendly Italian manager.

Jasper, Does your new hotel have a website or a name ??, if we go to LG is it easy to find ?....
Thanks

Stop messing around. Go to El Marinique, and then go and look around....There are at least six or seven places to stay that are inexpensive, nice, and everything is right there.

If you want high-end go to Villa Serena!!

Just get there and look around. You know where you will be well fed and well looked after. I have been there many times and for the money, it's tough to beat it, at least IMO.

no website or name yet. 200 mtrs from las galeras beach on main road beside pizzeria. check it out when you're there and maybe next visit you might want to stay there. i'm trying to upload or copy a photo but not having much luck.

Hi,
I will give the big thumbs up for El Marinique, all you need and great location.

Happy Days

pebblesnorman · Mar 9, 2009

Seems a few of you like El Marinique, but I guess I'm hesitant about the place, since it got mixed reviews on Trip Advisor. However, since it's Easter week, we do want to book in advance. Jasper, thanks for the info about the new place. Unfortunately, without any photos/info, we wouldn't be able to book our stay there, but we will definitely check it our for furture reference while we're there. Nobody stayed at Casa Dorado B & B?

Hi,
It may be wise to book in advance, regardless of where you are thinking of staying as
places soon fill up over Easter week.

I vote for TODO BLANCO! I stayed there, and loved it. It was fantastic! Really lovely, windows opening to the sea, lovely breakfast, nice beach. You can't go wrong!

samanasuenos · Apr 5, 2009

Oops.I didn't see that you were going Easter week.

I was unprepared for all the noise on the beach during Semana Santa - suddenly all sorts of vendors showed up and set up camp to cook and sell their food on the small beach. It got full fast, and each one had their own favorite music. loud.

Stay farther away from the beach if you want any peace and quiet.

And try Todo Blanco another time.

Have fun!

Where should we stay in Las Galeras?
