Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Friendly, accommodating staff was the highlight. Bed was a little too firm for a comfortable night sleep, and a malfunctioning lock caused some stress before we helped the staff figure out alternative access to the room. I’d consider going back just because of how nice the staff was, the good location, and nice pool, but my experience fell a little short of 5 stars.

Basic hotel that was clean and well kept with friendly staff. The daily breakfast that was included was very good. Easy walk to the beach, shops, grocery store etc. Stayed as a family with kids (youngest age 4). Would stay again.

Great location at Samara. We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town.

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.

We specifically requested a quiet room as neither of us sleep well. When we got there Jessica at the front desk informed us that we were booked in Room 10 which was directly over the busy street and right adjacent to a spaghetti of power lines (for those sensitive to electrical fields). We explained our need for quiet and our request in our booking reservation and while she was very understanding and nice to deal with she informed us that there was nothing she could do to change us as all other rooms were reserved already. We contacted Expedia and explained the situation as we had booked for 2 nights and although they called the hotel only the manager could approve a refund and he was in Italy for another week. Again Jessica was as helpful and understanding as she could be but we were forced to accept a noisy room overlooking a busy street on a Friday and Saturday night and left feeling exhausted from poor sleep as a result of all the noise. For those who react to electrical fields the bunch of multiple wires all connect very close to the room. The hotel itself is nice and they have a quiet pool at the back away from street noise. Had we been able to stay in a room off the street we would have been very satisfied so make sure if you book that you dont get a room facing the street. It is very noisy!
