As summer winds down, travelers looking for one more escape before autumn routines set in should look no further than Wyndham Alltra Samana, a secluded all-inclusive resort tucked along the Dominican Republic's Samana peninsula. Late August offers a rare combination of warm waters, lush scenery and fewer crowds, making it an ideal window for couples, families and friends to unwind before the season shifts.
Set on a pristine white-sand beach with turquoise water, the resort is surrounded by natural preserves, cascading waterfalls and remote islands, giving guests plenty of reasons to venture beyond the property. On site, four pools (including a dedicated children's pool and an adults-only Club level pool) keep the whole group entertained, while daily aerobics, dance lessons and land sports like archery, volleyball and badminton fill the days with activity. Guests can also book excursions to nearby waterfalls, secluded beaches and even late-summer whale watching, plus ATV rides and fishing trips for those craving adventure.

When it's time to relax, outdoor palapas dot the property and both individual and couples massages are available. In the evenings, nightly live entertainment brings music, dance and themed parties to the resort, and travelers who upgrade to a Club level room gain access to the Alltra VIP Lounge, a private infinity pool, a reserved beach section with towel service and preferential dining reservations at UMI, the resort's teppanyaki and sushi restaurant.
Dining is one of the resort's big draws. With 11 restaurants and bars on property, including Azul for international buffet fare, Bella for Southern Italian pastas and Island Grill for bold Caribbean flavors, guests can sample a different cuisine every night of their stay. Cocktail lovers will find no shortage of options either, from ocean-view sipping at Las Olas Bar to the lively, tropical vibe at Sugarcane.
Right now is also a smart time for couples planning ahead: The resort's wedding preview package offers a two-night stay for two for just $400, giving future newlyweds a firsthand look at the gazebo backdrop and garden venue before booking their big day.
