Find the ideal Caribbean escape at Cayo Levantado’s public beach or island resort. Hop on a boat from Samana and discover this isolated islet off the south coast of the Dominican Republic. Savour a day surrounded by white sands, clean waters and swaying palms. Day visitors will have free access to the island’s public beach on the northern side of Cayo Levantado. Though visitor numbers can be high in peak season, the spacious beach remains relatively empty for most of the year. Find a spot and spend the day tanning, reading a book or bobbing in the refreshing, clear waters. The public area offers a number of food, drink and relaxation services. Try local cuisine at food stalls or enjoy an icy cold beer in the heat of the day. Often, Dominican street bands will provide background music while you eat. Performers may ask for tips, but this is optional. After a meal, restore your weary muscles with a visit to an oceanfront massage hut. Along the pier, find a number of stalls selling coffee, rum and jewellery made with local jade stones. Visit in the evenings to haggle for the best prices. Get your photo taken with street performers for a small fee. Stay overnight or for a week at the island resort, which offers over 200 rooms. Accommodation ranges from less expensive junior suites to superior suites, though even the cheaper options can be pricy. The resort includes access to a number of luxury amenities including secluded pools, international restaurants and bars near the water. For a marine adventure, take a diving or snorkeling tour. Sights around the islet include wrecks, reefs and fascinating coral formations. Alternatively, go on a whale-watching cruise and spot majestic humpbacks in migration season. Cayo Leyantado is a 10-minute ferry ride from Samana on the south coast of Dominican Republic. Organise tours through Samana travel agents or the island hotel. ## Plan a trip to see Cayo Levantado Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,001 reviews) Beautiful Property, Not a True Luxury Experience At $1,500+ per night, the expectation is a seamless luxury experience. Casa de Campo is visually beautiful, but service and value did not match the price. Check-in required a 25+ minute wait for a “concierge check-in”, while 2 front desk agents remained unoccupied, yet there was no meaningful property overview or proactive assistance. The room was standard at best and consistently humid. We had booked expecting a hot tub, but only select rooms in another section section of the resort have them. Even after a partial adjustment through Expedia, the value was not there. The main pool shows visible wear, and overall upkeep does not reflect a luxury rate. Concierge service lacked initiative. When restaurants were full, we had to prompt alternatives. There was also confusion about what our stay included, despite the high rate, it covered no meals or experiences, only the room and a golf cart. Dining was good overall. Breakfast at Lago stood out thanks to Jael, who delivered the only truly five-star service we experienced. The property and golf course are beautiful, but service precision, clarity, and overall value fall short of true luxury standards.

(2,084 reviews) The staff was the best part they were super kind and helped us feel welcome. We traveled with a baby and she loved playing with the staff. They did confuse us about the upgrade to club status so make sure if they offer that you are clear on what it includes if you think it's worth it. We loved gusto which was the club status restaurant. It was like 340$ to upgrade our stay to club. They had a club specific pool that we loved but there was never any servers at that pool bar and they also didn't ever verify those members were club status which was kinda annoying we paid extra but it was never verified at the pool. The property was very clean. The room was clean per resort standards I'd say. I'm really particular about cleanliness so I do think the showers and bath tub could have been more clean. Also we had to ask for baby amenities and all of it didn't seem clean. I would recommend to bring a small bottle of distilled vinegar so you can descale the sterilizer machine that they provide. All of the stuff didn't seem clean which was stressful so I didn't use the bathtub and I also brought som cholorx wipes to wipe the high chair. BUTTTT it's amazing they even offer those things so just bring some cleaning supplies so you can feel good about using them. They always checked on us a million times so I loved that. Overall, it was a great stay. We drank only bottled water and washed my my babies stuff in bottle too but we still got stomach issues when we came back from the trip.

(2,341 reviews) We recently stayed at Live Aqua Punta Cana and had an excellent experience overall. The hotel itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and has a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff throughout the resort were consistently friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which really elevated the entire trip. We opted for the VIP upgrade with a swim-out room, and it was absolutely worth it. Having direct access to the pool added a level of convenience and luxury that made a big difference. A special mention goes to Jose, who did a fantastic job—attentive, helpful, and always making sure everything was taken care of. The restaurants were very good across the board, with a nice variety of options and solid quality. The beach was another highlight—clean, well-kept, and truly beautiful. The drinks were decent overall, though not always consistent depending on where you ordered. One of the standout experiences was the spa. The hydrotherapy session in particular was amazing and definitely worth doing—it was one of the most relaxing parts of the trip. We traveled in mid-March and couldn’t have asked for better weather—perfect conditions every day. Overall, this was a great vacation, and we would absolutely consider coming back again.
