Every time I come to the Dominican Republic, I choose this amazing and beautiful hotel. Not only is it a fantastic place, but they also have the most accommodating staff with amazing and personable personalities. I wish I could remember all the lovely people's names but to names that stand out are Elena and Alexandro. It is very rare to find people like these two. Not only were they extremely nice and helpful, but they also recommended different sites to make my stay even nicer. The Bannister Hotel is the first hotel that made my stay outside my own city feel like home. ##### brian Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel off the beaten path. It's located 10 minutes away from Samana, in a private residential complex and marina. Completely self-sufficient: there is a laundry, minimarket, several bars and restaurants on the premises. Only one caveat: there is no beach in the property. However, the pools and sea swimming area (not exactly a beach), and proximity to beautiful ones more than make up for it. Food in the restaurants is world-class, and while service may be on the unfinished side, the staff's attitude more than offsets it. While dining at the Beach Club restaurant, was lucky enough to be treated to a group of humpback whales breaching, jumping out of the water, and overall having fun. It was an unexpected yet beautiful moment. Overall, loved this hidden jewel, and will surely recommend it as much as I can, until I can return to it in the very near future. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Delman 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No fui al spa ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f75a1a63-bd0e-47ba-baca-179af2bbe922-1760079554361.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Delman Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Greivin 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Hice salida anticipada por un tema personal - pero la noche que estuve, se fue la electricidad en múltiples ocasiones, tratamos de irnos esa misma noche, pero la carretera es muy oscura - en general buena vista, habitaciones viejas - no logré dormir bien, por los apagones ##### Greivin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danilsa 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Súper amable, súper bello es mi segunda vez y no me defrauda nunca ##### Danilsa Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carmen 31 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was very relaxing. ##### Carmen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It’s a really nice place full of really nice people ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Pamela 13 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El hotel en general está bien nos gustó bastante pero en la habitación 201 solo se sentía en el aire en la sala y en la habitación nadaaaa .!
