Extremely beautiful turquoise water and fine, powdery sand but only on about 300 meters which obviously, was taken by the hotel. Everywhere else it's packed with seaweed and there is grass in the water so impossible to swim!

Beautiful, relaxed beach with good parking and services if you want them. We tried snorkeling but didn't see a lot. Still a great view and a great place to swim.

Very nice and quiet beach. A couple of restaurants right on the beach. Also, there is a beach bar if you want to sip on a piña colada while enjoying the view. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to relax.

This beach is about a mile away from town, so it's nice and quiet. It has beautiful clear water with an epic view of the mountains!! I loved it here. The sunset was also very beautiful! The water seemed just a little bit cooler than it was on the opposite side of the Samana peninsula, but for those who don't like the very warm Caribbean water in the summer time, you'll probably like this!

One of the most beautiful beach in Las Galeras. Lots of people, somehow crowded, but It did not compromise. With restaurant, tents with massage, beach chairs to rent. Lots of amenities to enjoy. The food at Isabel Restaurant was amazing. Fresh fish with lots of side dishes. Ask the locals to indicate the place.

I absolutely love this beach! Clean beach, super friendly staff, delicious food and drinks. My all time favorite in Samaná (aside from Playa el Rincón)

Nice little beach. The bottom is a little rocky, but the rocks are not sharp and mostly covered with seaweed. Find a sandy space and float and bask in the sun

Nice beach with amazing fine and white sand. We were there on a cloudy day and it was still an amazing day. Unfortunately the sand doesn't continue all the way into the sea, there are some rocks and corals as soon as you enter the water.

Really had a wonderful time! The beach is very beautiful. I enjoyed stargazing at this beach

Great tiny little beach that is right in town. Plenty of excursion nearby, including local tour guides that will take you to beaches that can only be reached by boat or hiking. There a few small little bar areas to grab a drink later in the evening if you want to enjoy the sunset on the beach as well.

Las Galeras is one of the top 20 beaches in the DR and a safe one to enjoy the sand, water, with relative calmness and access to bars and restaurants. When getting to the marked location, si usually turn right and keep rolling until finding a quiet spot. Lately, sargassum has been impacting the beach but either way, the quality of the sunset and overall experience is still good. You take some folding chairs, drinks and small speakers and enjoy with your group. Be aware on that loud music could be playing from locals which can vary your enjoyment. This is a dog-friendly spot and I recommend visiting it. When in the area, you can also visit playa Rincon, Garganta del Diablo, and the Marble Mines.

The view is magnificent, but that doesn't save the beach. There are rocks and seaweed a-plenty, and the waves are strong enough to knock your breath out. If you're looking for a place to have a drink, with a great view, this could be your spot, if you can't find anything closer.

Right at the end of the road in town, this beach is a beautiful spot to lounge in the sand, enjoy a meal under a palm tree, or find a boat tour to elsewhere on the peninsula. Come prepared to pay beachfront prices and deal with lots of tour guides selling their services. The water is shallow and has lots of rocks and seaweed. But the sun and sand are just what you'd expect from a Caribbean beach.

Was there off season end of May. Super quiet and maybe a bit seedy. Finest, most beautiful sand I saw on Samana though (including Coson, Levantado, Rincon). Looking back I would've spent less time at Rincon and more here. Not that Rincon wasn't beautiful.

Decent food at a good price. Nothing that blows you out of the water but still good. The pina colada was not very good, had a punch of pineapple filaments and also didn’t taste enough like coco. At 200 pesos tho we couldn’t complain.

We arrived in Las Galeras late mornng and soon wandered into town to get some lunch. La Bodeguita was the first place we came to and looked lively. I also checked that it's map review rating was good. We had a good tapas meal with a beer and glass of wine. The place is buzzy and friendly and busy. We also liked the mains we had on our 2nd visit. All reasonable priced.

Lobster meat is chewy, probably needs extra 5 min cooking. Chow suey and fried rice not good. Service is good. Sorrano ham is good with cheese. Service is excellent.

The most delicious food we’ve found in the area so far. Tried a burger and plantain chips—delicious! Also had mango ice cream, which was very unique as it had less sweet, real mango flavour. Our server was very friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend this place!!

La Bodeguita is located on the "main street" towards the beach. The restaurant is nicely decorated and you can feel the Caribbean charm. Even though the owner is from France, there is still plenty of Caribbean food. The food there is very very good. It has a very good quality and is tasty. Fish dishes are of course recommended. The portions are large and the prices are normal. So compared to Europe very cheap. You can enjoy it. The cocktails are also very good. These are freshly prepared with the necessary fruits. Price absolutely top. The service was attentive and always on the spot. You can park here well on the main road with your car.

Nice food, we tried few positions on the menu and most things were tasty. Mains are not entirely to my liking - pork was dry, beef steak lacked seasoning. During our first stay the cocktails were great, you could really taste alkohol in them, for a reasonable price too. On our last visit we were served drinks that, in my opinion and I can definitely taste the difference, were without alkohol ;) After we mentioned that to the waiter we were given some shot to add to the drink but it made the visit less pleasant. If I pay for an alkoholic drink, I expect it to contain alcohol.

I and my husband love this place. We try a lot of dishes and my favorite shrimp risoto❤️ all food are verry delicious! We eat every day here in our holiday🫢

Very nice beach

Nice beach.. walked there from las Galeras (hike was almost 2 hours passed by some beautiful beaches. Need at least sneakers cause it goes up and down through gravel roads in between.

This is where the river meets the sea. You'll have the ocean on your right and the mixed water lake on the left. The lake is pretty much not salty. The lake water is cold an refreshing unlike any over experienced before. You have about 5 different places to order food from, but its mostly the same food, just different cooking styles. You can order, fried fish (it's enough fish for two people), the fish can also be cooked in a coconut milk sauce, fried plantain, rice (with with red beans or mixed with pigeon peas cooked with coconut milk which I highly recommend), and lobster. There are other food selections, but I don't know them all. Also, there is a high possibility there will be foot vendors... BUY THE COCONUT BREAD. Aside from that have fun and plan for a long say. Unless you go with a paid, timed, tour which might leave you feeling rushed.

This is one of my favorite places in the DR, it's a magical place where you can enjoy the nature and a awesome beach! I'll definitely come back!

One of the most spectacular beaches I have ever seen, beautiful blue water, soft perfect foot forming sand, quite, virtually empty, clean with no seaweed or jellyfish. Not the easiest to get to, we rented a car and had no issues well worth the extra drive.

This beach is absolutely one of the most beautiful au natural beaches I've ever been to. The best part is how the locals care for their beach and keep it clean, unlike many other beaches in the DR

It's beautiful, great view... But if you are with babies it is not a good idea.... The food was very good (a little bit expensive)

The only place you can have something to eat at while at the beach. Prices are a bit high, which is to be expected, shrimp with garlic is good, French fries and chicken are decent. The owner is very nice, rest of the staff sometimes partially motivated. You can rent beach chairs from them for 150 pesos per chair.

The grilled chicken was perfectly grilled and the fries were good. The beautiful view of the beach, and friendly staff made it enjoyable. To top it off, a friendly dog became our entertainer, stealing a fry or two! Definitely recommend this place where even the four-legged patrons join you for dinner!

The food is way overpriced. For spaghetti RD$1600. The atmosphere is nice next to the beach.

Bad, unfriendly service. I got a small water and a cappuccino that tasted horrible and was ultra weak. I noticed a side discussion on how much change I was supposed to get, which left me feeling like I was overcharged. Not sure if the parking guy is from the restaurant, but that was another scamming experience. I pull in and he immediately asks for 200 pesos. After I complained that it was very expensive, he tells me 100 pesos is fine. When I was leaving, a family was leaving as well and the man told the parking guy if he was going to make him pay and the guy said anything he can give him is fine, 50 pesos is fine. But confronted him about charging me 100 pesos and he said he’s a totally honest gentleman. Gross.

Price is very good. I had dish of the day. Chicken is well seasoned and filled me up. Atmosphere is amazing. They may close near the sunset but please stay on the beach. You can see an amazing sunset from there.

Here are my up's 👍🏼 and down's 👎🏼... 👍🏼 Ambiance 👍🏼 Accessibility 👍🏼 Beds for rent 👍🏼 Ability to eat and drink on the beach 👍🏼 Beach and water 👎🏼 Dogs

Fantastic food and service! Francis took our order and delivered a “home run”! We ate “lambi a la criolla con tostones” and “pollo a la plancha con vegetales”. “lambi” = conch “pollo” = chicken The food was amazing. Francis provided top notch service. The prices are inexpensive. Other beaches charge 2 & 3 times the price. We will definitely return.

This restaurant was a great find. We had many dinners here while in Las galeras and we tried almost everything from the menu. The food was always tasty. We recommend the meat(Filete de res and the entrecôte) and the sea food plater. The cocktails are great also(daiquiri cinola and pinacolada)Francis and his wife are great hosts. Good quality price ratio. We recommend this place full heartedly. Other people mentioned having to wait to be served but as this is a family owned businesses, everything is fresh, and prepared on the spot and even more, the place is comfortable, and the atmosphere is good so we didn’t mind the wait.

I recommend that restaurant. The food is delicious and the waiting time is not long. There’s also very kind and friendly waitress Nina.

The food was fine, tasty. The guy who served us tried to be nice and attentive, unfortunately the effort didn’t meet standard (ours) expectations. Three times asked for the water - none arrived. Waiting for the menu longer than you would like to. Waiting is a term there, it’s actually a waiting room rather than a restaurant. To be fair, the service is not that different than other places. However charging it, it’s a cheek and a laugh to our face.

First time coming to this restaurant and I was not disappointed. Food tasted fresh, delicious, and the atmosphere was was what you would expect. Located right on the main street of Las Galeras, this twist on French/Dominican fusion is delicious. We even tried the dessert of the Chocolate Mouse (not pictured...sry we attacked it immediately) and it was amazing!!! Will be coming here again on the next trip. Now as for pricing it is medium price range compared to other restaurants in the area, but worth the few extra pesos!!!

Great location, delicious pizza and cold Presidente beer!!! The owner and staff are friendly and always happy to see you !

Amazing food! The owner is very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice! The food here is averagely priced but portion size is good and the food tastes really great! Would recommend!

Great burgers. Homemade bread and patties. The service was great.

We spent our honeymoon in this villa and we are very happy that we made such a good choice! Believe me, after this place you will not be able to live in any other! 1) Location. Here are the most beautiful beaches: azure water, white sand, no waves and total privacy! These beaches will bring you much more pleasure than any other beaches in the Dominican Republic. 2) Safety. Here is probably the safest place in the entire country. First, the road to Samana is toll-free and it is simply not profitable for thieves to spend so much money :) Secondly, the owner was able to recreate the feeling of a small personal eco-village with all the necessary infrastructure and protection. Gates, cameras, security in the form of a caretaker - you can feel as safe as possible and not worry about your things. 3) Villa. All the villas in this eco-village are beautiful. There were two of us, but the villa was very large and roomy. It had everything we needed and more! We were able to cook any meal we wanted, make coffee, make toast and smoothies all month long. My husband loved the hammock and we had breakfast on the veranda. 4) Infrastructure. The territory has everything: swimming pool, Jacuzzi, restaurant, mini gym, laundry, parking. You can order food delivery from restaurants in Las Galeras, you can rent a motorcycle/car, you can book a tour - all without leaving the villa. 5) Staff. Manuel, the caretaker of the settlement, will help you with everything! From settling in, to renting transportation or any tips. Answers all questions instantly, helps instantly. We were not the quietest tenants and constantly texted Manuel. He was patiently courteous and helped us with everything. Change of comment author: My wife has excused herself and I will continue to write a review of life at the villa. So, it was said above that I liked the hammock. That's right, it was especially lucky to lie and relax in it while my wife was going to the beach. Usually, it takes my wife an hour to get ready for the beach, but sometimes the time extended to 90 minutes. You know, when you are lying in a hammock, no problems in life bother you anymore. I think the owner of the eco-villa has an excellent understanding of female psychology and knows how to help a man not to get bored during long waits. In addition to the hammock you will find a gym, billiards, swimming pool and Jacuzzi. After such an abundance of everything, the wife can gather even the whole day, you will have something to do throughout the period. I would like to pay special attention to the servants. For 20 dollars and a polite smile to the ears, you will clean the entire house, replace linens, towels, wash dishes, wipe the dust, disinfect from insects. I am quite picky about cleanliness and according to my observations, the result of cleaning is top notch. In addition, the maids will do their kindness and wash your clothes. This was very nice of them, they are always very polite. -- If you read this review and are still in doubt, then put all hesitation aside and book urgently before some lucky person books the villa before you!

I really enjoyed my stay here! The units were beautiful; clean, spacious and comfortable! The location is absolutely beautiful (you have a beautiful view if you walk up the hill). The pool is nice too. There's drinking water in the facility. In the kitchen, they have most necessities ( including blender and sandwich maker...but no kettle or microwave oven). Note that you have to pay $10 USD to get your rooms cleaned but they do an excellent job. What i didn't like was that they didn't provide toilet paper/shampoo aside from what was there on the first day which wouldn't last long. You're paying a nightly fee which means this should be available. They also charge for new sheets/towels.I understand that they intend to be eco-friendly, but this is not the way to go. Also, you cannot pay with card (only cash and PayPal... And they try to charge you for PayPal fees).

I was nice experience to stay there with my family and friends for few days I love the place I will go back many times thanks for everything see you soon.

4 towels for 6 people, 1 tiny jug of water . Bring your own food plates and cups and water . Amazing views , games room and gym had just enough! All in all it was beautiful but could use a couple extras for the cost . I'd go back but prepared.

This place has such an amazing potential. In the begining we were really excited about our vacation in Las Galeras Village. But in a closer look, it became a nightmare. The jacuzzi on the roof twice didnnt work and in the third time, there were no hot water. The pool was dirty and needs a deep cleaning. The beds were awful! The kitchen was missing alot of facilities... this place saw better days. Won't come back!

We had such a wonderful time, a perfect service, that topped our expectations, very lovely, communicative and well organized. We enjoyed an amazing view on the ocean from the roof terrace, a very comfortable room, delicious original Italian food and awesome peaceful and clean nature surrounding the entire spot. Thank you so much for this great holiday :-).

It was really a wonderful experience staying at Las Galeras Village. We were super lucky to have had such a lovely relaxing break from everything and come to this beautiful place. Charlyne was so friendly and accommodating, and always very helpful. We texted her every time we needed something, and she was always ready to help! The host, Sergio, is an amazing person! And so is his wonderful family! The house we stayed in is a beautiful villa with attractive gardens around in a very quiet location. There is a hot tub on the rooftop, a terrace with a hammock, and in the morning you can see horses roaming around. Nothing comes close! You can definitely tell the host loves having people stay there in every aspect you look at! It's very clean and cozy! On top of that, there is a hidden spot, which was (as we got to know) discovered accidentally after the hotel had been built. A natural cave that has been turned into a wine cellar. We had an amazing experience trying local cheese and wine. So romantic and so delicious! Thank you so much for making our stay so special! We have truly beautiful memories from this trip and we definitely want to come back!
