I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, enjoying the clean and comfortable accommodations along with the beautiful grounds. The pool was a fantastic place to relax, and the friendliness of the staff made my stay that much better. However, there were some hiccups with the dining experience, particularly with limited meal options and timing. Overall, it was a peaceful getaway, but there’s room for improvement in the restaurant.

I had an unforgettable week at this hotel! The location is perfect, with Carrillo Beach on one side and Samara Beach within walking distance, offering stunning sunset views. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff made my stay even more enjoyable with their hospitality.

I had a delightful stay at this boutique hotel! It's clean and comfortable, and the pool is such a refreshing oasis after a day at the beach. The staff made our experience even better with their warmth and friendliness. While the location is great for accessing nearby beaches, it’s a bit far from Samara for those wanting to explore the town frequently. Overall, great value for the price!
