Sublime Samana Hotel & Residences Names the Top Five Family Bonding Activities
--Witness the Humpback Whale, Snorkel in the Magnificent Cliffside Setting of Playa Fronton, and Develop your Cooking Skills with the Dominican's Top Chef--
Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic– Research reveals 40 percent of families went on a multi-generational vacation in the past year. In fact, 77 percent of these trans-generational trips focused around a milestone event -- birthday, anniversary or wedding. To capitalize on this growing trend, Sublime Samana Hotel and Residence presents five family bonding activities in the Dominican Republic.
The hotel is the ideal retreat for families looking for an active off-the-beaten path, intimate and educational escape on the island's most undiscovered shores. The property features 26 private suites and casitas ranging from one-bedroom suites to three-bedroom casitas, perfectly suited to families and large multi-generational groups alike.
The hotel is offering a 35 percent discount off regular room rate for the three bedroom casitas, breakfast daily, $150 US spa credit, and welcome drink from November 28 to December 16, 2015.
From whale watching and snorkeling to horseback riding and healthy group cooking courses, here are Sublime Samana's recommendations for memorable activities to spice up your family vacation this year.
Wondrous Whale-Watching
Coming from the North, spectacular, giant humpback whales choose the Samaná Bay every winter to mate and reproduce. Young children, teens, parents and grandparents, will all delight over the natural spectacle, as they observe the males falling in love, singing and making fantastic leaps to seduce the females.
Families will long cherish the moment they watched the newborn whale calves follow their mother in the deep blue sea. From January 15 to March 15, Sublime Samana has the following four night packages for this one-of-a-kind, breathtaking experience.
- One-bedroom suite is $1,465
- Two-bedroom suite is $1,920
- Two-bedroom Casita with Jacuzzi is $2,235
- Two-bedroom Casita with Rooftop Terrace is $2,430
- Three-bedroom Casita with Jacuzzi is $2,870

Whale watching trips are available only on Tuesday and Thursdays.
Snorkeling Underwater Discovery
Take your group for an exciting sail along the Cabo Samana cliffs and discover the superb Playa Fronton nestled in lush vegetation and surrounded by magnificent rock formations. While you enjoy snorkeling, a delicious meal will be prepared for you featuring freshly caught fish in a beach side bungalow straight out of Robinson Crusoe.
