Premium applies to beachfront properties or those with high-end finishes — ocean views, infinity pools, designer interiors, or direct beach access. These properties command approximately 25% higher nightly rates than standard-quality properties of the same size. Most pre-sale units and inland properties fall under "Standard."
Seasonality is significant. Peak season (mid-December to early January) and high season (January through Easter) drive 55–65% occupancy at 10–25% higher ADR. Low season (May through November) sees occupancy drop to around 35% at base rates. A property earning $3,000/month in peak may earn $900–$1,200 in low season.
For short-term rentals in the Samaná area, professional management is strongly recommended unless you are local. Standard fees are $150/month fixed plus 15% commission on rental revenue. Good management handles guest communication, cleaning coordination, maintenance, and listing optimization — which directly impacts occupancy and ADR.
For a well-managed, well-located property: 45–50% annually (Base scenario). New or unmanaged listings typically see 25–30% (Conservative). Established beachfront properties with strong reviews can reach 55–60% (Optimistic). The Dominican Republic market average across all properties is around 27% — most underperformers are unmanaged.
Larger properties command significantly higher ADR — a 4BR villa averages $349/night vs. $77 for a 1BR. However, operating costs also increase substantially. The sweet spot for net ROI tends to be 2–4 bedrooms, where the revenue-to-cost ratio is most favorable. Studios and 1BR units have the lowest absolute costs but also the lowest margins.
