Very nice hotel with friendly staff. About a 800 meter walk to the beach. Breakfast included with a choice of 3 different items on the menu but a full breakfast. Parking is behind solid gate.

A around 4am we heard howler monkeys. Later at breakfast we could see them in the trees across the road. Nice pool etc, but the monkey family was the best part

Beautiful rural hotel close to town
Very friendly and helpful staff. The staff are efficient and delightful. Beautiful setting surrounded by monkeys, horses, cows, peacocks and at least one rooster. Great breakfasts. It’s possible to walk to the beach or into town from here although it is not close. The internet is not available in the Roma but sometimes in the garden area.

Samara Pacific Lodge is a hidden gem for our Samara adventure! The location was perfect. We could walk to the beach for some surfing in the mornings, then head into town for delicious local eats in the afternoons. In the evenings, the pool area was a lifesaver! Nice and refreshing, with plenty of comfy loungers to catch some rays and unwind.
The staff here were incredible. Kenneth and Allen were so friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond with a smile. And breakfast every morning was a delicious way to start the day. Those pancakes – seriously, amazing!
The room itself was big, with balcony. The bed was comfy, and everything was spotless. Just perfect for crashing after a day of fun in the sun.

The pool was great, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The included breakfast was awesome. It's a little out of the way but it was nice and there's a farm next door. We heard howler monkeys at night which was cool and wild!

Beautiful hotel with great food
The hotel is very nicely arranged around a swimming pool, bar and restaurant. The restaurant food is a cut above most of the restaurants in Samara with a wonderful new Spanish chef. The only drawback was the road into the hotel, in horrible condition but not that big of a deal as a short ride. We know the area well as we live in the mountains above.

Friendly workers, Great Breakfast. No frills
The front desk and owner were awesome. Surprised that they didn't have a little frig/coffee maker in the room and the hotel didn't have ice unless you went to the front desk during working hours. Drink prices were reasonable. The made to order breakfast in the morning was a nice added touch. We went during the off season, so there were very few guests. The 3 rooms is a bit deceiving, the beds are basically the same that they would be in a double bed hotel, except they put up a wall and a window....no privacy. Bathroom should have been in the middle and the two bedrooms on the ends.

The hotel was clean and well staffed, with the reception service excellent. No dinner or lunch was served but the breakfast was excellent. The hotel is about 15 minute walk from town and beach. Close enough to walk but on a dusty road.
