Booking

  What an incredibly magical place! Super comfy & cute with all the things you could want in a hotel. Clean rooms, super nice staff & just steps away from a... read more beautiful beach. I wish I could’ve stayed much longer!
There’s a great pool & bar area in the back where you can catch a yoga or Zumba class in the morning. Then go enjoy a tasty breakfast that’s included. If you really want to experience the Pura Vida way of living, stay here.

  We had a great time at this resort. Staff were excellent! It was my husband’s 50th birthday and Javier at the front desk upgraded our room to a pool view... read more room with tub on the balcony at no charge. On his birthday we went for supper and when we went back to our Room there was champagne on ice and chocolates’ They also had bundles of balloons all over the room! It looked great! Thank you Javier you made his Birthday trip special and truly care about your customers experience! 😉
At the bar Christopher was amazing! Ask him for his special drink “ Frog Eye”!
Our favourite server was Julian, always happy and smiling... all staff were very nice and friendly.
The reason I gave it 4 starts is because we didn’t have water in our rooms a couple of nights and 2 days there were many things they were out of on the menu at the Chill and Grill. More

  I love this place! The location couldn't be better for the price. It's literally only minutes to the beach.
Breakfast is included with your room, and you have several... read more choices. It is served quickly, and is just the right amount.
For rooms you have several choices, from dorms for the budget minded, to private rooms with A/C.
Dan and Claudia go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable experience.
There is a small soda onsite that sells great food at low prices. You are slao right in the centre of Samara so restaurant options are all around you.
The pool is a bonus if you want to cool off but don't fwem like going to the beach, and there is live music twice a week in the back, including an open mike night on Wednesdays for those of you that are.musically inclined.
As a solo traveler I found the hotel a wonderful place to meet others and I also got to know the staff well. They will help you out with any tours, or adventures you want to go on (without any added cost). Dan knows his way around the area so his advice was greatly appreciated.
I would certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good choice at a more than reasonable price!

The beach was roughly less than a 5 minute walk as were some really great restaurants both on and off the beach, shops and an outdoor shopping area where local vendors sell their goods.

But it was... read more also low season and not many people around. The shared kitchen is well equipped and clean. Rooms are clean and airy with shared balconies/ terraces in front. The owner Dan is a helpful and very excellent host that will take care of every concern. He definitely tries also his best to get the not often happening parties as quiet as possible...but they might happen. And then it’s loud.
Btw we traveled with a baby and the short distance to the beach and the pool is another plus. Thumbs up!
