Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club

Península de Samaná


This massive complex, 6km west of Samaná, has generic but comfortable suites with full working kitchens and sea-facing balconies. The large multistory atrium lobby opens out onto the marina, and there's a picturesque restaurant and bar with an infinity pool just above the crashing waves. It can feel deserted outside high season.

Surrounded by dozens of rental homes and villas, the hotel is located at the end of a long driveway past an imposing security checkpoint.
