ALL ABOUT US
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.

Brothers and Sisters
from all over the world come to enjoy a vacation unlike any other. Some return
year after year after having enjoyed the encouragement and fellowship of the
local brothers and needgreaters.
"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.

Tropical Island Breakfast in Buffet
A breakfast buffet,
varied each day, is served every morning between 7:45 & 8:00 a.m. Guests enjoy
an array of fresh tropical fruits in season, juices or papaya shakes, eggs &
ham accompanied by one of the following selections: pancakes, potato-cheese
tortas, quesadillas, home fries, fried platanos, or yucca & onions. Choice
of: our traditional island cereal: hot "avena de chocolate" or fresh
yogurt served with almond granola. An assortment of fresh bakery breads & "biscochos"
served with tropical fruit jams & locally made Dominican mozzarella cheese. Our
Dominican coffee, famous for its aroma & unique smooth full-bodied taste, is
served with a special chocolate liqueur and Dominican rum
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.

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
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. Some friends feel safer 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 one to four persons. For more than four persons, we suggest the Semi-Inclusive plan which is a more flexible and practical arrangement for groups.
