Lodge Las Estrellas de Samara
Lodge Las Estrellas de SamaraSámara
10/10 Excellent
We had the loveliest three night stay at Las Estrellas de Samara. The lodge is a 10min drive from Samara up a dusty and windy road (you will need a 4x4 to access the property). Once at the top you will be greeted by the most amazing view over Playa Samara and Playa Carrillo. The individual lodges are modern, comfortable, spacious and clean. Our hosts, Jean-Luc and Paolo, ensured throughout our stay that we had everything we needed and went as far as offering that we borrow a hammock to take with...

Hotel Luna Azul

10/10 Excellent
Luna Azul has a very welcoming atmosphere and staff, beautiful gardens full of wildlife and a pool with great rainforest and distant pacific views, particularly at sunset. We loved the open air restaurant and lounge/bar. Breakfast is tasty and substantial and excellent dinners are chosen from a blackboard menu which changes daily.
The 'sofa bed' was large and comfortable and could be configured as two singles so the room was great for a family of 4.
The location is very peaceful and extremely...

Outstanding views over both the ocean and reserve. The attention to detail in the design and fit of Lagarta Lodge is fabulous, the staff could not have been more helpful.

10/10 Excellent
Perfectly located hotel for a nice amble to the restaurants and beach of plays Carrillo.
A nice refreshing swim in the pool to cool down once back from the beach.
Hotel staff are friendly and helpful.
The amenities in the room mean you could cook dinner if you really had to!
We will be staying again.
