Le BDM PLAYITA — Hotel in Samana

We didn't stay at the hotel but had dinner at the restaurant. The food was spectacular, the service was professional and friendly, and the place has a fun and trendy atmosphere. The food was the high point though - we had mouthwatering langoustines on the grill (served with finger bowls, so attentive to detail!), a baked, melted camambert, the dorado ceviche, the tuna tataki and the grilled octopus. The kitchen also sent us a couple of special treats - a lovely, fragrant carrot salad with plump raisins and some briny, tangy, marinated sardines that were such a delicacy and absolutely lovely.

I had an excellent stay at BDM Playita during my visit to Las Galeras for two nights. The hotel is beautiful and peaceful, with a spacious and very clean bedroom, a comfortable bathroom, and great amenities.

We had shrimp and tuna. Very nicely grilled and not over cooked. Our dinner came with sides and a small salad. The salad was refreshing and simple. Order the coconut rice - it was really unique. They toasted the coconut flakes and made the rice. It was fragrant yet hearty. As for the drinks? Yes! It was wonderful and unlike a couple places - they did not skimp on the alcohol. We ordered seconds on the caipirinha. If you are scared of tourist traps - just come here, get a nice...
