It's a great location. It's a nice swimming pool. It's a beautiful garden with amazing birds 🐦 and unforgettable squirrels! Our room was upgraded ❤️ thanks for that! Beach just 3 min from the hotel! Women staff were very friendly and helped with all problems.

Breakfast was too simple. We didn't come the second day. But we found very nice Bakkery just at the same street 😀

Breakfast was always delicious. Beautiful property. Relaxing environment. In the center of Samara but seems like it's a secluded resort away from everything.

Central location, spacious grounds. Decent pool and comfy, spacious room.

It feels a little basic and the breakfast is quite simple, but the price reflects that.

Staff were very helpful The hotel is perfectly situated not far from the beach & village centre. Lovely pool and tropical garden.

Over polished landing to the rooms is a little dangerous.
