Samaná (Las Terrenas), Dominican Republic
Rating8.1
Rating6.6
Rating6.6Standard Bahia Principe activity programme — non-motorized water sports (1 hour/day), Kids Club (4–12), Teens Club (13–17), evening shows, and a beach that's wide enough for genuine walks rather than the short stretches at some Dominican resorts. The beach snorkeling, with reef protection providing calmer water, is better here than at Bavaro.
Nearly 9,000 sq ft — one of the larger main pools in the Las Terrenas all-inclusive market. Waterbeds and in-pool chaise loungers. The central daytime gathering point. Gets busy from 10am.
Additional large outdoor pool, slightly less busy than the main. Good alternative when the main pool is at capacity.
Dedicated shallow pool for young children. Safe for non-swimmers.
Free water park for ages 2–15, height maximum 1.5m. Slides and water features. Supervised.
Quieter pool area away from the main activity zones. Better option for guests who want to swim without the social energy of the main pool.
General guest use. Evening use is typically less crowded than daytime.
Within the Bahia Spa facilities, beachfront location. Extra charge for spa access. The combination of hydromassage jets and a sea view is one of the better amenities at this property.
Reef-protected, which means genuinely calm water suitable for swimming and snorkeling in most conditions. White and golden sand, wider than the average Dominican all-inclusive beach. Guests in reviews specifically mention the ability to take long beach walks — the footprint is large enough for this. Less crowded than Bavaro.
