The room was much smaller than I thought it would be but it was right on the pool which was nice. The staff were very attentive as we had trouble with the AC and safe and they helped right away. Great location.

Mehrdad, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the reception spoke pretty good English and were very personable and the hotel is a relatively easy walk down to the beach about 5 minutes away. They are next door to a great place to hire an ATV or tour. Even in low season we found multiple restaurants to est at within easy walking distance.

Nice property right on the main street, and a quick 5 minute walk to the beach. Rooms were clean and nice. Staff was excellent.
Rogue, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Giada is a beautiful property, just up the street from the beach in Samara. The flowers and landscaping are amazing, really surprised my wife and I how nice it was. Staff is very friendly (Karina is a sweetheart!). Rooms small and simple, with a nice balcony. Can't beat the price either. We would stay here again.
Ryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A pleasant hotel with two pools and a small interior garden. With some older and newer features, but all in all clean and a great stay. The closeness to the beach, local shopping and food choices makes it a great option for sating in Samara. Walk the hallways and admire some of local art. A short drive to beautiful Playa Carrillo.
Florica, 2-night trip
