I had a wonderful and relaxing time at La Samanna. The staff is what truly makes this place special. They are very attentive and ensure that you are well taken care of. My favorite dining experience was at the Italian restaurant, where the food was excellent overall. I also had a massage at the spa, which was incredible thanks to the experienced staff. The beach is stunning, with crystal clear waters and soft sand at your feet. If you're looking for a quiet and rejuvenating getaway, I highly recommend La Samanna. I will definitely be returning!

Absolutely fantastic in every way. We spent every day on the beach - our room had a direct access to the beach and it was super easy. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, the staff was very friendly and accommodating- we especially enjoyed the staff who worked at the beach: Nico, Mathias and Ansel were excellent. Altogether a speechless experience.

This was the most wonderful vacation! The entire staff was so friendly and helpful. I have never experienced this level of customer service on any other vacation. Food and drinks were amazing from the restaurants to the beach and pool. The only criticism was that we had a plunge pool room and it’s not a plunge pool, it’s a hot tub. This was one of those vacations that you are sad to leave and can’t wait to come back.

If I can say there is a Heaven on earth, this is definitely the place! Starting from the General Manager Eleonore, she greeted us with an upgraded room with presents in it as a surprise! She also checked in on us daily to ask if we needed anything. As for the rest of the staff, Emmanuel, Rosie, Mili, Naima, Alessandro, and others i have forgotten their names, so sorry, they made our stay so joyous and definitely we will come back again soon. Thank God for people and places like this!

Like all Belmond hotels, their signature is welcoming, gracious, engaging personnel from check-in to check-out. La Samanna was no exception and the Caribbean charm of the staff added an extra dimension. We stayed 3 nights at La Samanna before taking a cruise and found the hotel lovely, its facilities excellent, cuisine outstanding and ambience very relaxing. Without fail, every engagement with the resort staff was a truly positive experience - Victor and Sabrina prior to arrival; Claude at check-in; Rosie and Eddy at D'Oursin; Pierre at the lobby bar; Amy, Mili, francois and Neomie at breakfast; Axel, Nico, Matthieu, Alexandre, Rommel, Herbert, Michele, Monique, Elika and Stephanie at Le Plaj. Thank you to all.
