The house sits high up on a bluff above the town and Samara Beach. You can see the ocean from the house and even hear the waves hitting the beach. The jungle below is filled with wildlife. We had monkeys visiting, iguanas, coati mundis and a wonderful variety of birds. The lap pool was wonderful for us to swim in each day to cool off as February is very hot. The one difficulty is that no one really maintained the cleanliness of the pool and we were left to clean leaves and bugs out ourselves each day, which was doable, but not always how we wanted to spend our time. The house is very spare. No books or games or extras of any kind, but the beds and furniture in the living area were very comfortable. The air conditioning works wonderfully and each room has it's own split. We could never get the television or washing machine to work and didn't pursue it with anyone. Had we been there longer we might have. No one came to clean or look after anything at the house in the 10 days we were there, except a gardener early in the morning to water plants.
There is one large bedroom with a king size bed and large bathroom and two small bedrooms with small bathrooms so it is challenging if you are two or three individuals as one bedroom is far superior to the others space wise.
When we had questions or needed help, the management company, which is close by, were very kind and helpful in many ways and always made themselves available to us. The house is close to the town and the beach and there are many wonderful restaurants and cafes to visit. The food was fantastic and we loved the ambiance of the town. Good music as well at the restaurants.
There are 4 houses on this property and they are far enough apart that you feel quite private. We didn't have a car and there is a quite steep hill to climb to get up to the house by foot which was challenging with groceries from the nearby market in hand, but otherwise not that big a deal though having a car or golf cart might have been good, but we didn't reserve in enough time and none were available.
We had a very good time in Samara and at this house and I would stay there again.
