Fodor's Review:
A stay here will change your thinking on what a small luxury property can be; this is one of the best B&Bs in the Caribbean, if not the world. The gorgeous Victorian-style plantation house with wraparound verandahs overlooks miles of coconut palms down to the ocean. It's family-run and showcases generations' worth of museum-quality sculptures, paintings, and objects d'art, many of which were acquired from the Far and Middle East. The art elevates the rooms and common areas to a fascinating visual experience. Dinner, available only to guests, takes place in the central open-air brick courtyard. Dishes, linens, and even the stationery are refined; to mention that rooms come with flat-screen TVs (the only ones on the Samaná Peninsula at this writing) would be missing the point. No expense has been spared. The pool house even has a world-class collection of African masks. Is $600 a lot for a room here? It's not a full-fledged "resort," but we'd recommend that you consider saving now. In terms of international high-end travel, this is a real steal. Pros: quiet and remote; luxurious; impeccable guest attention. Cons: expensive, but that's the only drawback we can find.
