YOUR JOURNEY AT A GLANCE
The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club → agreed Samaná Bay boat connection → Cayo Levantado → confirmed return
Confirm the hotel-to-pier connection and the assigned boat. A peninsula address does not automatically mean boarding at the hotel beach.
Identify The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club correctly
The tourism ministry lists The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club on the Samaná–Sánchez road and describes the hotel in connection with Marina Puerto Bahía. A marina-side hotel is a useful but incomplete boarding reference.
Ask explicitly whether your confirmed outing boards at Puerto Bahía or requires another pier. Yacht-club accommodation does not automatically reserve a charter or establish a boat departure for your party.
Plan the journey from Samaná
Give the actual hotel address and assigned pier.
Being on the Samaná Peninsula can simplify the origin discussion, but the hotel and boarding point are still distinct. The tourism ministry identifies boat access from Samaná port. If a proposal names another pier or a different maritime route, request its precise meeting and return instructions.
What to confirm before leaving The Bannister Hotel & Yacht Club
Ask whether the same pier is used on return and how you reconnect with the hotel. If arranging your own road segment, agree a buffer and a reachable contact instead of matching a taxi arrival to an unconfirmed departure time.
Give the coordinator the same hotel name, entrance and return constraint used in your reservation. If the property supplies different meeting advice, reconcile it before moving to another location.

Choose the experience that fits the complete day
Ask whether the same pier is used on return and how you reconnect with the hotel. If arranging your own road segment, agree a buffer and a reachable contact instead of matching a taxi arrival to an unconfirmed departure time.
Ask for Classic, Premium or Private according to the actual boat and itinerary you want. Resort room benefits do not transfer to Cayo Levantado Resort, and a request does not reserve a place.
