Sep 09, 2025The best all inclusive in Las Terrenas
Stayed at El Portillo in August for my anniversary and I wanted to highlight some of the wonderful staff that made my stay beautiful and memorable. Abel at boa Vista Karina check in desk Joelfrid poolside bar cart Anton romantic dinner on beach Yuderka guest service who helped me book the romantic dinner. Things I loved were the cold fruit water and cookies upon check in. The pool side drinks cart so you don't even have to walk to the bar for a drink. The ambiance of the steak house beach front restaurant. The fishes to see in the water so bring your snorkeling gear. The romantic dinner on the beach was the highlight of my stay. The array of food at the buffet was amazing also. Something for everyone.

Sep 01, 2025Closer to a 4*
Nice vacation in Samana. Here are the + and - : + the beach! Soft sand, many palapas/palm trees for shade, hot water, easy to take long walks. (maybe arrive around 7:30 - 8am to reserve chairs) + a la carte restaurants. We did French (good food, portions small; ask for seconds!) Brazilian (meat lover paradise) and Italian (being myself italian i was skeptical, but the food was actually pretty good and HUGE portions). In all 3 restaurants we had great service. + beach buffet (brazilian resto at night); way less busy for breakfast and lunch and great views. (Santa was a great waitress🤩) + food in general at the buffets + sports bar area; service, live music at 8pm and great bartender Nacilso + maid service in our building (#20) + cleanliness all around the resort - main pool; way too small for the size of the resort - service at the main buffet; probably the worst i had in all my Carabean trips (been at least 10times to Cuba and Mexico). Had to get my own water, tables for 4 setup for 2, good luck asking for a beer, etc Remember this is supposed to be a 5* resort… - night animation… do i really need to see 4-5 couples do stupid things for 30min? Beach party… terrible (don’t pack white clothes, not worth it) - alcohol after midnight only at the disco. - older rooms; noisy A/C For what i paid, i am pleased of my vacay, but i would NEVER pay the full price wich is around 1800$ cdn

Sisters trip Beautiful Beach , Fab food
This was my second visit 11 years apart the resort had grown considerably in that time with many positives but I felt that the staff were not as friendly or as helpful and sometimes we felt ignored when seated at the buffet tables or at the bar. The rooms are kept very clean but the maintenance is rather shabby particularly in the bathroom. Food is Excellent ,the buffets were always well stocked with plenty of variety the chefs extremely welcoming . Porteffino Italian restaurant was lovely ,great food great service. The Beach is without doubt absolutely beautiful , snorkeling is great off the coral reef ,you can walk in both directions and it feels safe and . Although reserving sun beds is not permitted Everyone does ,if you are not up at 6 am to secure a spot on the beach then you will be hunting for a spot , we witnessed several heated interactions where towels had been removed by hotel staff and caused confusion to those who had left a towel . The entertainment /music around the pool is extremely loud ,fun for a while but it can get a bit much. We traveled from Canada ,and understand although Spanish is obviously the first language spoken there were only a few staff we were able to fully communicate with. If you want a guaranteed beautiful beach , fantastic quality food for us the other issues faded into insignificance.
