Las Galeras Hotels with Airport pickup service

We visited the Wyndham Alltra Samana between Dec 05 to Dec19 the resort was still being renovated so not everything was fully opened anyways it took about 1 hour and half to get here from the Samana airport we got there late 10pm,reception was great they greeted us with a cocktail cold towel and a sandwich seeing the restos were closed, check in was quick we were staying in room 1216 which was very nice completely renovated king size bed huge shower 1 sink only air conditioner worked well. had a few water pressure issues that were resolved. if you plan to stay in this section you will be up till about eleven this section could get little noisy seeing its in front of the bar with the only entertainment at night so it will go boom boom till 11pm. room was cleaned everyday fridge fully stocked however if you wanted to order room service it was not available at this time. as for the bars service was great all the bartenders were warm and eager to serve you there was one bar still under renovation [the Sugercane] the only negative is the extra charge for top shelf drinks we paid enough money after all it is all inclusive i got them free last year at Wyndham Viva V resort. The A la carte restaurants were okay service was fantastic but they really need to expand there menu not enough choice for example the Italian should serve some bread with cold cuts or bruschetta also all the Restos are open air no A.C. Dec is fine but what happens July Aug. The Japanese resto was still being renovated. All to say the buffet was the best although when the resort is working at full capacity i found it to be a little small again not enough stations. The beach was as advertised little waves unless there was a storm coming in, there was some seaweed on certain days which was cleaned. few vendors on the beach but did not hassle you. plenty of lounge chairs keep in mind it was low season and the resort was at half capacity except on the weekends when the locals came in, this is when it got a little loud especially at the pool area so we hung out at the beach. I have to say all the staff at the receptions front desk and buffet,to the beach bar and grill a la carte to the bartenders to many to mention thankyou for your hospitality and great service above and beyond in my opinion. We will be coming back. PS. the seaside coffee station opens to late and please give us some real orange juice in the morning with our coffee.
