Just got back from the holiday at Gran Bahia Principe Cayacoa on last Friday and would love to go back already. We had the most fantastic holiday ever, this hotel and Samana itself are probably the best kept secret of the Dominican Republic, everyone kept saying it was so much better then the overcrowded holiday centres such as Punta Cana.... more

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Cayacoa recently and found it to be a lovely place. We would definetly go back. We travelled with First Choice and although the flight was delayed we were very satisfied and arrival was easy with the First Choice reps waiting for us and we were checked in on the bus, what a delight ,just... more

This review is based on a total British point of view, following visiting other resorts within the Caribbean in previous years, including the Dominican Republic in last 2 years. 'First Choice Airlines' great apart from the initial delay of 1 hour before departure following boarding the plane, due to some luggage hiccup, but this was soon forgotten when up in... more

They told us to grab some lunch and they'd have our room ready, we were checking out our view... more

I just returned after a five night stay. Excellent service. The rooms were a surprise- big with a great view (and I was in a standard room). Food was surprisingly good with a variety of choices each night. The hotel is absolutely beautiful inside and out and the elevator to the beach- what a blast. The staff was the absolute... more

We (my ten year old daughter and I) loved this hotel. Just returned last night from a one week holiday. Other than the bus ride from Puerta Plata (which was not exactly fun since the air conditioning wasn't working on the way to the hotel), we had an excellent time. Staff: The staff (other than the reception staff who were... more

We recently returned from a two week stay at the Cayacao in Samana and had a wonderful time. The only problem, was Signature Tours. I will not begin to list the problems with them only to say that we would never book with Signature again. Also, their rep at the hotel was, in our opinion, less than honest. The hotel... more
