Amy, 6-night trip
Verified Hotels.com guest review

8/10 Very good

The property is located a 2 minute walk from the beach. Conveniently located to walk to restaurants and shops. None of the power outlets were working in our first room. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful and immediately accommodated us in the room next door. This is an older hotel with very basic necessities. Overall hotel grounds need maintenance. Especially the pool area. The grass was overgrown underneath the lounge chairs. Personally, it wasn’t for us. Booked a two night stay and ended up leaving after one night. Highly recommended eating at the Italian restaurant a few doors away from the hotel!

A beautiful location, with lush landscaping and only a five minute walk to the beach. Many excellent restaurants very close by on Samara’s main street. We loved the variety of birds by the pool.

The location is great to walk to the beach, like 3 mins, the place is quiet, clean and lots of places where to eat all around. The only thing I would improve is the A/C, it does not cool as they should. I set up on 20c and really was like 24c, then set up on 18c and got to 22c, maybe needed a gas recharge to actually feel cool. Besides that place is good, staff are very friendly.

Staff was amazing...did everything they could to make stay enjoyable and comfortable. Only drawback is Hotel advertises on site bar. Hotel does have onsite bar but not in operation. It is only there to borrow a glass, opener, etc.

Comfortable, convenient, great service & breakfast. It is outdated yes, but it is clean. The proximity to the beach, shops, restaurants (Sherrif - good, cheap & great service) is perfect if you are not looking for quietness. It is located in the heart of Sámara (which is quite small of a town). Don’t blame them if it gets noisy at night. We are a couple on vacation that would recommend the hotel.

Right in the center of town. Clean, nice grounds and pool, good bfst - right across from a nightclub so can be a little loud but other than that - all good.

The one redeeming quality of this hotel is the location. Right in the heart of Samara, you are a block or so away from everything.

Great location near a fantastic beach!
This hotel, while not luxurious, was comfortable, clean and has air conditioning. There's a lovely courtyard with a very inviting pool to take the edge off hot afternoons. The staff is excellent and friendly. Carolina, the day manager, went beyond the call of duty to make our stay most enjoyable.

Convenience cannot be beat.
Gets a little loud with the nightclub across the street, and then the birds and monkeys in the morning, but makes up for it with the quiet ambience during the day poolside.

Comfortable hotel 2 minutes' walk from beach
The hotel is very conveniently located in the main street of the village, only a couple of minutes' walk from the beach. The rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. The outdoor pool is of a good size and depth. It was pleasing to see the pool being cleaned first thing each morning. The staff are pleasant, friendly and accommodating.

8/10 Very good

Staff is amazing! People are generally nice in Samara. Great location, it is not on the beach, but a walking distance to the beach, around 50-100 meters. There is a Bar across the street, some people may say it is laud , but it did not bother me a bit. Was mostly tired from the activities I did during the day. Internet could be faster, it only works at the lobby, in the rooms it is a bit slow, this was the only thing that bothered me the most, slow internet , otherwise, it is a great place with a great staff!

Beautiful garden with tropical birds and iguanas.
The hotel is 3 minutes to the beach and the small swimming pool was also handy for a cooling dip. We saw a couple of large iguanas on the palm tree by the pool. Also some colorful birds constantly visited the tree in front of our room. The staff were all very pleasant.
