Hi, a quick introduction. I am the new webguy for Hotel Las Ballenas Escondidas. Sorry about the site as it is, I'll have the new one up very shortly.
I have been a DR1 visitor for a few years and have always enjoyed this site and all the info from the folks on these boards, but finally figured I'd register and get a bit more involved now that the Hotel has asked me to build the new site and WebDev has leaked the 411...lol
Yes the Escondidas (hidden) part of the hotel's location is not a joke. It's really easy to get to out of Samana, but you could drive by the entrance if your not careful. Follow Webdev's directions and look for the sign.
For cjk and Talo01 and anybody else that's interested, I will have the new site running very shortly, but for the time being,
here is a link to a Flickr page with some recent pics of the hotel and facilities.
I'll try to keep an eye out here for any more questions about the hotel.
On a personal note: I have stayed at the hotel a number of times. It's always been a great visit. The hotel owns a number of newer "four wheeler's" and motorbikes to either rent and explore on your own or use on one of the many tours offered to guests. The hotel also offers whale watching tours launched from their private beach.
thanks,
hbwebguy
