Hotel Belvedere

8/10 Good

Hotel Giada

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly. The property was so pretty. The pool was very clean. The food was good. The rooms were very clean with comfy beds and pillows."

Heaven On Earth! Perfect Get-Away! Gorgeous Beach. Pool. Couples &/or Families.

10/10 Excellent

"This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. It was a little slice of paradise in paradise!The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms spacious and the stock of necessities included everything you could possibly need for inside and out. The beach chairs, boogie boards, tote bags and a wagon to transport it all made the quick walk to the beach a breeze. Communication with the owner was smooth and friendly, they even offered to refund the cost of a supply that had run out. We would 100% recommend this rental for your trip to Samara and will be hoping it is available if we return ourselves."

Residencias Samara

10/10 Excellent

"Great space and location. Staff was very helpful"

Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples

10/10 Excellent

"The check in process was easy, buy the rental office was a little challenging to find. The sign is small and it is in a back corner amongst other shops. After we found it, the process was smooth. The rental agent even escorted us to the property to be sure we were comfortable with the locks and safe. The property was clean and they had cleaners come twice during our stay which was great. The a/c units were a blessing with the heat and humidity and the pool was used a lot. We felt safe in the house, but they also had a security guard each evening which made us feel even more secure. We had to scoop a couple of crabs from the pool each morning, but there was equipment there to make this possible. We walked to the beach and swam in the ocean multiple times since it was so close. The only downside was the living room fan. It was not working and would have been nice to help with air movement in the big living room. We did contact the rental office and they checked but it was not able to be repaired during our stay.The owner and rental agency were great with communication and answering our questions."

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Tout était impeccable ; la chambre, la piscine,… Impossible de se sentir plus dans la jungle qu’à cet endroit! C’était magique de prendre son café dans le hamac ou se laver dans la douche extérieure. Le déjeuner était succulent et différent des « classiques » du coin. La plage de Samara était à 5 minutes de voiture: toujours facile de se stationner. Honnêtement, la tranquillité valait la distance. Excellent service, très accommodants. J’ai tout adoré!!! Merci"

Hotel Brisas del Pacifico

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location right next to Samara beach and several nice restaurants. A short drive to wonderful Camarillo beach. Fridge, and nice shower. Make sure to ask for a room with AC."
