The idyllic Casa Azul B&B is located on the Samaná peninsula, in the north-east of the Dominican Republic. Natural beaches, turquoise blue sea: this is the place for unadulterated Caribbean flair that hasn't been overly commerciaIized.
The small Caribbean village of Las Galeras offers small supermarkets, destinations for outings, restaurants serving local food, and bars filled with the rhythms of merengue.
The city of Samaná is the provincial capital and is about 30 minutes by car. The entire peninsula is named after its capital and is famous for its tropical forests, picturesque beaches such as Rincón, Frontón and Madama, the turquoise blue water of the Caribbean, the waterfall El Limon, Cayo Levantado, the Los Haitises National Park, and its incredibly friendly inhabitants.
