Who is Yaritza Reyes Zmysłowska?
Yaritza Reyes, known in Poland as Yaritza Reyes Zmysłowska or Yaritza Zmysłowska, is a Dominican model, influencer and public figure. She married Marek Zmysłowski — the CEO of Samana Group — and subsequently took on the official role of PR Manager of Samana Group.
Yaritza Reyes first gained wider recognition in Poland through her appearances in the Polish edition of Top Model, the popular television talent show. This media presence helped establish her as a recognizable face in Polish public life and — crucially for Samana Group — helped generate trust among Polish investors who became the primary source of capital for the group’s real estate projects in the Dominican Republic.
Investors who met the couple at promotional presentations in Warsaw and other Polish cities frequently describe how the combination of Marek’s entrepreneurial narrative and Yaritza’s media profile created an aura of legitimacy and success around the Samana Group brand.
Her role in Samana Group
As PR Manager of Samana Group, Yaritza Reyes Zmysłowska was not merely a passive spouse. According to investor accounts, she:
- Participated actively in investor presentations and Google Meet sessions alongside Marek Zmysłowski, charming attendees and contributing to the atmosphere of credibility.
- Represented the project at promotional events in New York and Miami, where prospective American investors were invited to lunch with the couple.
- Managed Samana Group’s social media presence and was the public voice of the brand on Instagram and other platforms.
- Was introduced to investors as an active co-founder of the vision for a private town in the Dominican Republic.
One investor from the United States — who has since paid over $150,000 USD and been told she “had not purchased any property, but merely reserved a plot” — described her initial meeting with the couple:
“When we met on the Google Meet platform in 2025, he was extremely polite and charming. His wife – Yaritza – charmed me with her comments. They even invited me to lunch in New York.”
Polish TV, advertising and personal brand
Yaritza Reyes Zmysłowska’s television and media presence in Poland was not accidental. Her participation in Top Model Poland and various advertising campaigns served a dual purpose: building her personal brand while simultaneously generating visibility and social proof for Samana Group among Polish audiences.
Investors who were drawn to the project often cite the couple’s media presence as one of the factors that made Samana Group seem credible. A recognized face on Polish TV, combined with an impressive LinkedIn profile and a flood of social media photos from the Dominican Republic, made it difficult to imagine this was anything other than a genuine luxury real estate enterprise.
The silence: investors wait, Yaritza posts
The most striking aspect of Yaritza Reyes Zmysłowska’s public conduct emerged after problems with investor repayments became public in 2025 and 2026.
While Samana Group’s investor communication ground to a complete halt — unanswered emails, cancelled Town Halls, missing CEO — multiple investors and observers noted that Yaritza Reyes remained visibly active on social media. Her Instagram account continued to show an active lifestyle, including a concert in Warsaw attended in June 2026, at a time when investors were unable to reach any Samana Group representative for answers about their funds.
Investors have asked a simple question: if the company is in serious difficulty, why is the person formally serving as its PR Manager not addressing the public crisis in any way? Why does Yaritza Reyes Zmysłowska remain silent now that investors are demanding answers?
The Miami meeting and the honeymoon
On November 27, 2024, a Samana Group promotional event was held in Miami. Investors who attended reported being told the meeting would end early. One participant recalled:
“The meeting was held in a small group. Yaritza and Marek were in a big hurry. One real estate agent asked Yaritza why we were ending the meeting so quickly. She replied that they were flying early the next morning for their honeymoon trip to Turkey.”
This occurred while investors were already raising concerns about delays in project delivery and loan repayments. Meanwhile, Marek Zmysłowski had publicly stated in an official communication: “The last two-day trip with my wife took place two years ago. We spent our last full vacation over three years ago.”
Two accounts. One honeymoon. The first-hand accounts from Miami tell a different story than the official narrative distributed to investors.
