It is difficult to find nice hotels in Santa Barbara de Samana and I would recommend to stay either in Las Terrenas or Las Galeras. From both towns there are regularly guaguas to Samana (about 45 min.) and you have nicer beaches, restaurants and lots of places to stay. Some whalewatching tours offer shuttle-service to Samana. You can also go whalewatching from out Las Galeras and combine it with a visit to Playa Fronton.
