El Monte Azul Las Galeras

Amazing experience! Delicious Thai food, absolutely stunning views, first-class service and wonderful people! We loved it there and want to come back!

Wow... just wow! Food is so delicious here! An amazing Thai fusion with amazing fresh ingredients. The owner is super friendly and tells everything about how he buys the freshest ingredients in the city to make so delicious dishes. He is even able to adjust the level of spices for those of us who cannot handle the crazy spicy things! The views are spectacular. Make sure to check it yourself, but make a reservation as seating is limited and they only do so many people a day!

We climbed to the top of a hill and arrived in a heavenly place with a restaurant overlooking the sea and stunning views. The quality of food was exceptional with good service. the hosts are incredibly generous and welcome you as members of their family. We also had the opportunity to spend a few nights in the hotel part with a huge pool overlooking the bay, the morning watch call with the whales was fabulous. I recommend this place for one of my best holiday experiences

The photos do not do enough justice, how delicious the food was, amazing Salmon Carpaccio with lobster, as the main dish delicious Langostinos with special sauce that makes it even better, and a lobster, shrimp and steak pad thai. The attention of the owner and chef himself and his wife make this place one of the must go when you are in Samana.

The absolute worst and most expensive experience in the DR was this restaurant. Dear tourists, those prices and this kind of taste is (almost) a scam. The owner explained the menu to us and it turned out that there was only one main course. Pad Thai, a very good dish of Thailand an Laos which is usually an incredible tasty dish. But here in this restaurant, Pad Thai is absolutely different. The owner prepares this dish with his own style . It looked and tasted like bad Italian pasta with too much sauce but definitely no flavors from asia. And that’s okay, taste is different to everyone. But his own creation costs around 900 pesos per person! Noodles, Sauce, veggies and a few chunks of chicken. Sorry, but please have a look what really ends up on your plate, the cost of rice noodles is so low I really don 't understand how you can eat so damn good for normal prices in Las Galeras and this restaurant charges you 900 pesos for a plate! Come on! If you watch the owner for a while, you will notice his local employee preparing the food. The owner is just mixing the drinks and smokes a lot of cigarettes (in front of all guests). Unfortunately, we didn 't enjoyed our time at the restaurant , the view was pretty nice.
