ALL ABOUT TROPICAL ISLAND BED & BREAKFAST
Location: www.TropicalislandBB.com/Maps.htm  

 

TIBB is located two blocks from the sea, or the Great Bay of Samana where little covered wagons [conchos] and small buses can be boarded to beautiful beaches located al along the coast of the Peninsula - the nearest being a 5-minute ride or a 15-minute walk.

       

Six beautiful beaches are less than 20 minutes by “concho” or public transportation from TIBB:  Playa Escondido, the nearest, 5 minutes;  Playa Anadel, 10 minutes;  Playa Las Fletchas, 15 minutes;  Playa Gran Bahía, 15 minutes;  Playa Chinguela, 15 minutes;  Playa Los Cacaos, 20 minutes. Las Galeras Beach:   Is a beautiful scenic 30-minute ride, by public transportation, along the coast to the eastern end of the Peninsula.

Barcardi Island:  This breathtakingly beautiful island, often referred to as “Bacardi Island” has several beautiful beaches..  Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast is only a few minutes walk from where the boats leave each morning for this tiny one-mile square island.  Along the way, one can enjoy a gorgeous view of the entire  peninsula from afar in the Great Bay during the 15-minute excursion. The sand on Bacardi Island is as white and fine as flour.  The water is clear and blue, purple, green, and aqua; and for those who would prefere the shade, beautiful coconut palms line the beaches. The island has several very quiet and secluded beaches and a beauty that is not soon forgotten!

Playa Rincon:  Said to be one of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world is Playa Rincon, a beautiful one-hour scenic ride to the northeastern coast of the Peninisula!  Private chauffeuring by brothers is available for this day trip, which is approximately two hours travel time round-trip.  For more information & slide showing, visit: www.tropicalislandbb.com/Beaches.htm

 

Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast is walking distance from nice restaurants and only a 5-minute ride to the Kingdom Hall.  Each room has 2 queen-sized beds and a small refrigerator, and is equipped with cable TV, DVD player, and a large selection of movies as well as a computer and Internet service.  Rooms with air conditioning are available upon request at the time reservations are made.

 

Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast is not a resort, but a homey bed & breakfast hosted by Jehovah's witnesses.  Brothers on vacation, desiring economical accommodations and the quiet relaxing atmosphere a bed and breakfast has to offer, come to Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast from all around the world.  In addition to this, the Dominican Branch very often recommends TIBB to fellow witnesses.

"Mi casa es tu casa" (my house is your house) is a warm heartfelt expression of hospitality among the Hispanic people and is truly also the motto of  Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast where brothers feel right at home, whether it be relaxing on the veranda or in the living room playing cards, looking at DVDs, or using the computer to write friends back home.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

While a standard bed & breakfast comes with just accommodations and breakfast, Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast has designed three unique vacation plans, in addition to our Basic Plans, to accommodate the needs of our visiting brothers
 

Basic Vacation Plans

Our Basic Vacation Plans have been developed principally for brothers living within the country or for those not needing airport pick up and return.
 

Economy Vacation Plans

Our Economy packages include airport pick up and return, breakfast each morning in buffet, use of the kitchen after two o'clock in the afternoon,  housekeeping services, computer/internet service and all the help you need by our social hostess to learn where to go, what to do and how to get there. Our Economy Packages beginning with our Weekend Getaway to our 30-Day Super-Stay can be viewed on the home page.


Egidio (YiYi) Fucci & Jose Guissani, Christian Galimberti Monza & Seregno, Italy -
8-Day Economy

Semi-All Inclusive Vacation Plans

Semi-Inclusive Packages include airport pick up and return, accommodations, tropical breakfast in buffet, and personal chauffeuring to all activities on suggested itinerary.  The Semi-Inclusive has been created for a  Weekend Getaway through a 14-day visit.  Very economical for groups coming together who share the expenses.

All-Inclusive Vacation Plans

While our standard bed & breakfast arrangement comes with a buffet breakfast & the usual features of a bed & breakfast, many brothers & sisters have requested to have everything arranged for them upon visiting the Dominican Republic because they are coming on their anniversary or honeymoon.  They prefer having brothers pick them up, chauffer them around, arrange meals at restaurants, take them to the beaches and other activities for the day. For this reason, the 5-Day All Inclusive, 6-Day All Inclusive and  7-Day All Inclusive have been created.

The All-Inclusive Vacation Plan is only available for two persons.  For more than two persons, we suggest the Semi-Inclusive plan which is much more flexible, less expensive, and practical arrangement for groups.
