From the air, Sublime Samana in Las Terrenas looks like your typical sprawling, five-star beachfront resort. Choose between a one or two-bedroom suite or opt for more privacy and space in a two or three-bedroom casita. Deciding between the two on-site restaurants, Bistro and Beachside Grill Palapa, is a win-win situation. If you want romance, it’s a no-brainer on nights when Beachside hosts special events on the beach, and you can eat under the lights with your toes in the sand. If you don’t want to bother with looking at menus offering so many tempting dishes, just ask for the catch of the day or the ceviche. While there’s plenty to do on-site and you’ll be tempted to stay put, I recommend you explore the surroundings a bit. Horseback riding to Cascada El Limon or driving for 10 minutes into the lively old town are just a few of the alternatives.
