The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club  

On Samaná’s Doncel stretch, a short drive from Samana Bay and Marina Puerto Bahía and close to the city center. This family-friendly resort sits where island calm meets easy access to boat trips and local sights.

Rooms are warmly decorated and individually styled. Most have private furnished balconies, kitchenettes with fridge and microwave, premium bedding and single sofa beds. Expect simple comforts like LCD TVs and in-room entertainment; some rooms include DVD players and classic shower setups.

Two outdoor pools, a full spa with massages, body treatments and facials, and a health club/fitness center set the tone for downtime. There’s a diving club, ping-pong, arcade/game room, hair salon, picnic and BBQ areas, and poolside bars. Free on-site Wi‑Fi, valet parking and shuttle/transfer options keep things easy. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and jump straight into the pool.

A conference center plus meeting and presentation rooms handle events and corporate stays. The property also offers express check-out, 24-hour front desk service, laundry and dry-cleaning.

Three on-site restaurants include Ocean Club, which serves international cuisine, alongside a cafe and casual restaurant that spotlight local flavors. Enjoy drinks at any of the bars and a complimentary continental breakfast served daily from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM. Limited room service is also available.
