I had a fantastic stay at Nilka Hotel Boutique in Samana. The breakfast was essentially a made-to-order buffet with plenty of delicious options (loved the fresh fruits!). However, the weak air conditioning in my room was a bit of a drawback. Despite that, the cleanliness and staff service made up for it, creating a pleasant experience overall.
