Day 2, Samana, Dominican Republic, January 17, 2025

We slept for six hours and woke up hungry. After marvelling at the views from our room, we headed down to the buffet breakfast. It was more than anyone would want. The coffee is exceptional as is the friendly service. Time to check out the resort - it is so much more than we expected after reading some of the online reviews. The beach is a tropical dream. We stopped by the beach bar for a beer as we were definitely short on fluids after our travel ordeal. We needed a snooze to catch up on the sleep we missed and then on to the beach for a swim. The water is a beautiful temperature and felt so good to be in salt water again. A snooze on the beach, a mojito at the bar, a shower, and we were ready for the dinner buffet, but not before a sparkling wine out on one of the numerous comfortable seating areas throughout this multilevel resort. We were impressed. 

Dinner was exceptional, especially in contrast to what was on offer for dinner in Cuba. We dined alfresco with attentive service. What a treat.
