Pamywyner Posted September 20, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Cruising here in November and looking for a nice beach or all inclusive resort we can go to for the day. Any suggestions? I went there 10 years ago but, went in to Santo Domingo and went to a beautiful hotel for the day. Don't remember the name but, it was a bit of a bus ride. Thanks in advance!!!!!

Pamywyner Posted September 25, 2007 Author #2 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hmmm...no one has any nice beaches to recommend near Samana?? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusinAgain Posted September 26, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I think you need to take that excursion straight from the ship to Cayo Levantado which shows some nice beaches. I think it is around $29 on the NCL site. The Pearl hasn't gone there yet and it is a new port for the ships so not much info yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamywyner Posted September 26, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanks CrusinAgain! I'll look into that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahia Cruiser Posted October 4, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I would also recommend the beach at Cayo Levantado island which is only a 10 minute boat ride plus it is one of the most beautiful in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is much more information and tons of pictures. http://familytravelfun.com/cayolevantado.html http://familytravelfun.com/cayo-levantado-photos.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamywyner Posted October 15, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Thanks Barb!!!! Just what we are looking for. Where did you find out about this and are you sure on the prices??? It looks perfect! Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovecruising2 Posted October 15, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi Pam-I found someone else talking about in on another thread. So I looked up the resort and emailed them. Their email address is on the website. Ask them about the day you are arriving and they will quote you rates. You need to provide your own transportation. If you go let me know what you think about it as I don't go till December. Have fun!! Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamywyner Posted October 16, 2007 Author #10 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hi Barb! I'm going to email them now! Thanks for the info and I will let you know if we do it and how we like it!! Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted October 16, 2007 #11 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hello, Barb - Thanks for the information about Casa Marina Bay. Did they happen to mention the approximate cost of the taxi ride to the resort? Also, I'm wondering about the ease of catching a taxi back to Samana. I presume it would be easy. Thanks again!

Susie Posted October 17, 2007 #12 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I found this information on getting to Cayo Levantado Beach on your own. http://www.moon.com/planner/dominican_republic/mustsees/ps_cayolevantado.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovecruising2 Posted October 18, 2007 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi Susie-The hotel said it would be approx $50-round trip for 5 people. She said there are taxis everywhere who are EAGER to take you! When I emailed the hotel they were very helpful. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
