Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast, located on the peninsula of Samana, is a little family owned bed and breakfast that has been serving Jehovah's witnesses around the world for some 12 years or since 1993. Our goal has been to make our brothers and sisters feel comfortable in a loving warm hospitable atmosphere and to enjoy a vacation like no other that they have ever had!

Marilyn is the Owner as well as the Social Hostess of Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast and is dedicated to helping the friends feel right at home and to know what to do, where to go and how to get there and, all in all, to have a fantastic vacation! Marilyn has been one of Jehovah's witnesses for some 47 years, 31 of which have been divided between special pioneering & regular pioneering where the need is great.

Nilda is a very loving conscientious sister who takes great pride in her work as our housekeeper. We don't know what we would do without her! All of our guests love Nilda!

Rodolfo is our chauffeur for Economy & All Inclusive packages, and is loved by all! Rodolfo is characterized by his very mild spirit & kindness in helping the brothers to have a good time...including everything from chauffeuring to playing basketball with with their children! Rodolfo serves as a ministerial servant in the Jarabacoa congregation with his wife, Molly-Ann.

Molly-Ann and her husband, Rodolfo, are the owners of the Tropical MOUNTAIN Bed & Breakfast, located in the little mountain town of Jarabacoa. Molly-Ann, as its Hostess, has become renown to her guests for her wonderful tropical breakfasts which include home baked banana bread, banana pancakes and granola along with an array of tropical fruits! From time to time, Molly-Ann also serves as hostess for the Tropical ISLAND Bed & Breakfast. Molly-Ann serves as a regular pioneer in the Jarabacoa congregation, and has served where the need is great in the Dominican Republic since she was 13 years old.

Kendra and her mom, Carole ― both enthusiastic vivacious sisters ― have served as acting hostesses for the Tropical ISLAND Bed & Breakfast in the absence of Marilyn. E-mails continue to come from guests praising them for helping to make their stay such an enjoyable one! Kendra and Carole are both regular pioneers. Kendra & her husband, Jock, served where the need is great for several years in the Dominican Republic.

Elisa is Acting Social Hostess for Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast in the absence of Marilyn. She is also the weekend housekeeper. Elisa made the truth her own and was baptized at 11 years of age; she began piioneering at 17 and presently at 21 years of age, is serving where the need is great in the Dominican Republic with her family, who are from Canada.

Cynthia is our web mistress and computer guru and because of her ingenuity and creativity, TIBB has been blessed with its unusually beautiful and unique website. We don't know what we would do without her! Cynthia has been one of Jehovah's witnesses for 48 years and presently serves as a Kingdom publisher in the Spring Glen Congregation in Renton, Washington State, USA.

Sheba & Samson are our two "vigilantes" or watchdogs who know the difference between brothers and sisters and anyone else entering the premises! Most of our guests who are animal lovers enjoy romping with them in the backyard!
