"The Lost City" with Sandra Bullock was filmed here. 5 min. from Las Galeras

We are just 5 minutes from Las Galeras and can help arrange tours to the beach of Fronton, Madama, Rincon, La Playita, Cayo Levantado, the El Limon waterfalls and other area attractions. He can also make sure you find the supermarkets, banks and restaurants. Since he has worked at the Cove for nearly 20 years, he knows the area well. All my apartments are at the Cove, a small group of beach front, ocean view apartments, just 200 feet from the ocean.
This modern apartment serves as your home base from which you can explore the peninsula. Arrange deep sea diving and sport fishing excursions with The Dive Academy. You can snorkel at some of the most beautiful beaches, including Playa Rincon, Playa Las Galeras, El Valle, and Playa Fronton. Seasoned scuba divers can explore shipwrecks from throughout the centuries.

Come see the humpback whales breach out of the water, from January to March, each year, when they come to mate and have their offspring!!!

In between you and the ocean is the pool, with a swim up bar. Grill local fish on the charcoal barbeque, or stay inside and cook in the full kitchen. It features a view of Samana bay, and a private beach, only a few steps away.

Since I own two other apartments, I can accommodate groups of up to 12 people.

A week of paradise
The condo is amazing. You are secluded and away from everything. Patrick was awesome to work with and Coco was amazing! They both assured we had everything we wanted…Coco even picked up some bananas for me. We loved hanging out at the pool and visiting with other guests. It was a great week of reconnecting with my husband. Even got one of the puzzles out and did it together.

The only issues which I encountered with this property were a check-in. The property is located behind a gated community. I was told that the color of the door to get into the community was red. We spent about an hour looking for the red door, but it was actually black. The phone number of the contact person which I was given was disconnected. Luckily, we stopped at the black door since it was the only gated community around.

Excellent, quiet, and very clean place
It's an excellent choice for people who wants to be on a quiet place with a (almost) private beach for themselves and a beautiful swiming pool. Is a 5 minute drive from the town of Las Galeras with their beautiful beach (same name) and little but very good restaurants. I think i have almost 10 years coming and is wonderful every time i come.

Excellent place!!
I was there for a short time with my friends but I wish I made arrangements to stay longer. I needed more time to visit some of the beautiful area beaches. At first I was skeptical because where can you find a two bedroom two bath condo right on the ocean, 100 feet to the beach for about $100? Great deal, nice apartment and great location, will be coming back!

3 month adventure
The Cove is a little bit of paradise situated just outside the delightful, typical Dominican town of Las Galeras. This is where you will also find our favorite beach La Playita. This is one of many beaches in the area. There's lots to see and do. Our apartment was much larger than I thought it would be and the view was beautiful. It was clean and everything worked. No problem with anything. Coco, the manager will do anything for you and get anything you need. He is awesome. We would learn more Spanish to go back for a visit. The owner, Patrick, was quick to respond and very helpful with our booking and advice as to what to do in the area and how to get there. We had a very good adventure and would definitely go back.

Excellent property! A tropical paradise within a beautiful island!
It was such a pleasure to be there when Patrick was there to show us around. It is a wonderful special place, so beautiful and so peaceful. Coco did everything possible to make us happy. A beautiful place to relax recharge and to get away from the main stream resorts. Most of the time we have the beach to ourselves! Thank you again Patrick for making us feel at home!

Wonderful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Patrick is very professional and responds quickly to any questions or problems you may have through email. All of the staff was wonderful and attentive. We don't know if it is always this way, but we basically had the beach to ourselves, and what a beautiful beach it is! It was great for swimming, a little rocky, but it is so clear you were able to see where you are stepping. The pool and grounds were kept beautifully. Everyone was so friendly. It is a very comfortable unit and the AC units worked well. There is a colmado and fish shack within walking distances. We were able to catch the fisherman as they were coming in for the day and purchase right from the boat. We were hesitant to rent a car, so we chose to use a taxi, which was very reliable but can get expensive, so we tried a guagua and for those who are adventurous, it was great! It was a wonderful experience and great views while traveling. We would definitely take a guagua again. Coco helped us to catch it, which was right outside the gate. Carmen made a fantastic meal for us, traditional Dominican but superb and she cleaned up afterward. Thanks for a great stay.

Peaceful and beautiful!
Such a beautiful spot! Quiet and secluded. The pool was very nice and the grounds were lovely. Gorgeous views from the patio and the pool. I saw one of the best sunsets from the beach. Carmin made me one of the best pina coladas I've ever had. The beach isn't the best for swimming and you need a car, there really isn't anything in walking distance. The people were so nice and helpful. The place was well stocked with towels and linens(although a few could be replaced) It could also be stocked with a few staples such as hand soap and salt and pepper. The air conditioners were noisey, but so nice to have. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

A Slice of Heaven on Earth!
My wife and I made our first trip to the DR and couldn't have picked a better spot to relax and experience the culture. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. Patrick was great to work with from start to finish and Coco became our instant friend. We miss his smile along with the warm tropical breezes and the cool dips in the pool. The only downside was we didn't stay longer. We'll be back. Next time, two weeks!

A beautiful piece of paradise!!
This was our very first time in the Dominican, and I was a bit nervous, especially about the driving, as we flew into and rented a car in Punta Cana, and drove to the condo near Samana. Driving is a bit different than Canada, yes, but not too terrible. I have never enjoyed scenery and beautiful trees, hills, etc as much as I have on the drive to, and around Samana!! Absolutely gorgeous area!! The condo was a perfect home base for us to come home to relax, unwind, etc. Also beautiful enough to make me want to just have a relaxing day at home, in the pool and on the beach. Very neat, clean, safe and gated, and full of friendly neighbors and helpful people. Coco answered all our questions, and was always very helpful. Patrick is full of good information and tips, with great ideas on where to go, what to check out, etc, which I found very useful. The beach by the condo is lovely, the waves aren't too strong, which is great for smaller children. We had a great time collecting shells, checking out urchins, and watching the local fisherman fish on the rocks. Absolutely favorite beach is nearby Playa Rincon, most beautiful beach I have ever seen! It was a great stay, I would totally come back!
