La Aguada
Whale watching with Whale Samana was an amazing experience! We spent 4 hours and saw at least 10 whales. We even got to see a whale breach right in front of us! Really nice boat and worth the money. The best time of the year to go is January - March. For an extra $5 they will drop you off at the island Cayo Levantado for the afternoon. Also beautiful!

Nice clean room. Friendly staff. Extremely noisy! Neighbour adjacent to hotel plays music at a ridiculously loud level, had to use ear plugs and still sounded louder than a loud concert. Very very noisy part of town.
