Samaná apartment rental FAQ

How do I get to Samaná from the US, Canada or Europe?

Most international flights land in Santo Domingo (SDQ, about 2½–3 hours by road) or Punta Cana (PUJ, longer). El Catey · Samaná (AZS), about 45–60 minutes from Samaná town, has seasonal direct flights. We are happy to recommend a driver for the transfer.

Do I need a car?

Not for the beaches and the pool at Vista Mare. For Samaná town, about 10 km away, and day trips to Las Galeras, Playa Rincón or Las Terrenas, a rental car or a driver makes life easy; ask us and we will suggest one.

When is whale season, and when should I book?

The official season runs from 15 January to 31 March, with February and early March usually the liveliest. Whale-season weeks are the first to fill, so message us as early as you can.

Do you speak English?

Yes. Yris and Paloma speak English and Spanish, and reply on WhatsApp.

Is there a private beach?

Yes. Vista Mare Samaná has two private beaches at the foot of the hill, as well as an infinity pool and a restaurant.

Is the Wi-Fi good enough to work?

Every apartment has Wi-Fi. If you need to work or take video calls, message us and we will tell you the current speed in the apartment you are considering.

How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Samaná?

Nightly rates depend on the apartment, the number of guests and the season, and whale-season weeks are the most requested. You can see the current price of each apartment on its Airbnb listing, or message us on WhatsApp with your dates and we will tell you the rate.

How do I reserve?
