On my next visit to D.R., we are going to samana. Ive heard good things and the pics make it look like true paradise. i have a few questions ; Which area in samana has the calmest beaches?,where are the good places to eat(the strip)?, Whats the best way to get there from new york city? and lastly,are 2 nights at cayo levantado worth it. Im not going to this area again and want to make the best of my visit. Im traveling with my wife and infant son and speak fluent spanish. we are going for 7 to 10 days.
