I would recommend the banana pancakes as they are very very nice. But also try their special omelette. You can choose the Lombok coffee or 'normal coffee' both options are very good. The watermelon juice is beyond perfect as in some accommodations they add water. As they have four private bungalows it feels like being at home. The staff does add to the overall holiday experience by being attentive, friendly and informative. They make you feel at home and family. As we had to leave earlier than the public boat schedule allowed they arranged pick-up from the beach. Magic !

very caring staff, clean house, delicious breakfasts, incredible beaches, we will definitely be back.

The lovely gents who man reception were so kind, helpful and welcoming and made us feel so at home. They even took the time with our children and were so patient and attentive. The villas are in an excellent location, just moments from the beautiful white beach. Lovely breakfast with freshly made fruit juices. We organised via the hotel the most amazing excursion snorking to see the marine life, corals and turtles, such an incredible day and a very reasonable price - Would definietly recommend 100%!

There is very little water pressure and a limited water supply, this is not the hotels fault at all but rather because of the island location and they explain this is in a very friendly manner upon arrival.

The room itself was clean spacious and private. There was always staff there who were helpful when asked.

There were times when I felt like the staff members either didn't understand what I was saying or didn't know how to respond to my requests. I didn't feel comfortable or welcomed right off the bat upon arrival. The location was also pretty remote, far away from the harbour and the statues.

We've stayed here a few times, and have always enjoyed it. The property is small and quiet, and located just two minutes walk from the beach. There is a decent local restaurant across the street, and a few more options a little bit further away. Staff are very friendly.

It might be time for the owner to splurge for some maintenance. The hot water in our cottage gave out after two minutes of use, so we moved to another cabin. But the air conditioning there was pretty much dead, so we moved back to the original one. These things can be fixed easily enough.

We chose this villa because of its proximity to the beach, and its unmatched privacy made it even more special. The entire island is peaceful and quiet, creating the perfect setting for relaxation. The food at the restaurant was delicious, adding to the overall experience. The staff were incredibly helpful, with a special shoutout to Ali. He truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Not only did he arrange mosquito repellent for us, but he also arranged for us a snorkelling trip, which was a fantastic experience. Ali even organized a private boat trip to go the nearby island. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

We loved our stay here! The staff are incredibly hospitable, the included breakfast is delicious and has good options, the orange juice is *just what you need* on a hot day, the beach is just around the corner and the resort had beach chairs you can use here, the turtle beach is a few minutes walk away, lots of nice food and drink places nearby. We walked from the port cause it wasn't that far, but we took a horsey back. The shower was salt water for the first few days, but we were pre warned, and fresh water arrived after a couple of days, which they kept us updated on.

The sliding door to the room was quite difficult to open.

Villa Samalas exceeded our expectations. The location is amazing, the little bungalows are spacious and well equipped, and the location very close to the beach couldn't be better. Moreover, the personal is extremely friendly and we felt that they tried everything to make our stay great. There were two things that I was a bit worried about reading about them in other reviews: breakfast and internet. However, both turned out to be great. Internet was working perfectly well while we were there. Also, we really liked the included breakfast. Yes, you get exactly one juice, one hot beverage, one dish and fruits, but we always felt that it was more than enough and it was delicious.

Nothing really. Only thing you should be aware of is that you can't really shade the room from the morning sun. It will be somewhat bright even if you use the indoor curtains and outdoor shades, but that was not a problem for us.

Amazing place! With only 4 walled for privacy villas, we had great place to stay and recharge for 5 days... Designer rooms, great bed, plenty of place to pack, good wifi, minifridge and complementary water. Own, very private garden and patio. Great breakfast options. Friendly staff. In a few steps from the shore with designated sunbeds and matrasses. All excursions and trips can be booked at reception. (I found worth to get a horse cart to get from the port to the Villa as it is a 20 min walk possibly with your luggage in 30+ degrees) I hope to go back to spend more time in this oasis :)

Couple of hooks in the room and a shelf to keep shower accessories next to the shower would be good. Nothing major...

Villa Samalas is perfect, with an amazing location and such kind, helpful staff. The room is really nice and we like that you have a private garden area, which makes it easy to leave sandy clothes and shoes out to dry. The breakfast and food at the restaurant was delicious. All the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They all made us feel so welcome. Snorkeling here is amazing! It's easy to get out to the reef right from the beach and we saw so many turtles and beautiful fish. We cannot recommend this place enough and hope we can return!
