Cotubanama was great. It's about as close as you an get to the center of town, and has comfortable rooms (with A/C!) 24-hour (English-speaking) front desk support. This hotel is a great option for those of you who are more interested in actually experiencing the kind people of the DR as opposed to walling yourselves off from them at an... More

During our week stay was all great. The employees were very friendly, the room was very clean and very comfortable. We had a sink in our room. We handled all the excursions and save a lot of money. I really highly recommend this backpackers. More

The location of Backpackers was very convenient and I was able to walk just about anywhere in Samana under 5min.

Guillermo the manager was the best...!!! And went out of his way to... More

Thank you Guillermo and Yanil for having us at your hostel! These two make you feel like guests at home rather than just clients. The lodging is appropriate for the price, but sufficient for travelers like me who want to spend as much time out in the town as possible. The hostel is located a block from La Malecon where... More

Guillermo is THE manager of the century! He's extremely helpful and friendly and wants to make sure you're trip is the best possible. Other staff members are good too, but they don't speak English (not a problem though - they're extremely patient and helpful and we eventually were on the same page). The hostel itself was clean and spotless and... More
