This is a decent option for staying in/near Samara. Bear in mind it is a five-six minute drive to town/main beach stretch. The staff were excellent, particularly Loydes, who was so genuine and helpful. The pool is great for kids. Bathroom was a bit dated and moldy unfortunately. Included breakfast was nice and appreciated.

Loved It!!

This place was amazing from the second we arrived. Staff person checking us in was polite, accommodating and made you feel like you were best friends. Because it’s a smaller hotel, we got to know all of the staff and they couldn’t have been nicer people! On site parking was easy. Location was quiet except for some road noise. Walking to Playa Samara beach was convenient and took less than 10 minutes down a dirt road. Room was large with a separate foyer area that had a sink and mini fridge. Pool is nice. Breakfast was good as were the drinks. We did not eat lunch or dinner so can’t comment on that. Three minute drive to Playa Carrillo - which is an amazing beach. Seven minute drive to downtown Samara. Nothing negative to say about this place - check it out!

Loved the place. Nice hot breakfast. Everyone was very helpful and nice. The room is very nicely decorated and the place looks well taken care off. There is also a security guard walking around during the night. So it's pretty safe. The only thing I would suggest is to be on top of the refilling of product provided. We barely had enough liquid soap for 1 shower. No other shower soap provided, so we used the hand soap the rest of the time. We also ran out of shampoo (the bottle was almost empty when we got there). Also no coffee pods in the room. None of it was a big deal to us, however maybe other people would mind.

3,5/5

Extremely comfortable mattress. Large room. Nice shower with good water pressure. Nice balcony. Restaurant is a bit expensive, but the food is good. The included breakfast is not good. There should be more options. Cleanliness is ok. Staff is ok. Proximity to Playa Carrillo and Playa Sámara is great. You need to have a car to find some other restaurants, because there’s nothing around. The hotel is very close to the road. You can hear the motorcycles constantly. There were A LOT of children at the hotel. A. LOT. With all the noise and mess children bring in a Boutique Hotel….running in the corridors at 6:30 am, screaming in the pool, etc.

We killed about 60 ants in the room and there was a lizard to. There was two wasp nest on the balcony. We could not change the beach towels for our 5 days stay. We had to reserve at the restaurant because if we do not they do not call the chef to make the food. We had the family loft.
