This is a fantastic location and place! Lots of young families so it was great for our little one to play. The place is well maintained, the staff were friendly, and it’s a short walk to everything

Building was clean and comfortable with a/c in each bedroom. Pool was great. Staff were friendly. Good location.
Some minor maintenance things like loose cabinet handles but nothing of consequence.
Cookware in the kitchen was mostly functional but needs replacing.
FYI - The family suites are not beach front. It’s a 5 minute walk to the other Residencias property that is on the beach. The pictures and listing description are not as explicit as about that as they should be.

Our stay was amazing! The place was beautiful and clean and they even upgraded us to a bigger room with no extra cost. Definitely recommend this place, it’s like a luxurious hotel but at a great price!
We arrived hours earlier than check-in and were able to get our room pretty quickly. The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. The room was spacious and clean and we really appreciated the pool on those hot days.
Samara is quite small, so we were able to walk to everything.

Great place, 5 minute walk to the beach, surrounded by delicious food. The pool was amazing too!!
Excellent location. Other reviews are accurate. However, There are two locations for this hotel. one is near the main road - that is where the pool is and it is a small pool so we didn't end up using it. Our room was on the second floor overlooking the beach area which was as advertised. Excellent breakfast included. Staff were great. It is a small town so easy access to everything.

Very enjoyable, well managed condo style property 2 blocks from one of the most amazing beaches you’ll ever visit. Great little pool to cool down (or to swim in the hot rain), and very friendly and attentive staff. Sámara is a gem and so is this place. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Wow! This place was amazing. We were here in the off season and had a great experience - especially with our room upgrade! Front desk service was fantastic giving us plenty of recommendations. Every space, including the pool, was exceptionally clean and well kept.
Gorgeous clean and well constructed property. Friendly staff. Very comfortable stay. Grounds were well maintained and very private from the outside town. Be advised there are two different locations, Residencias and Beachfront. We had a two bedroom unit with kitchenette in the Residencias. There looks to be several rooms above a restaurant at the Beachfront location. We had a 5 minute walk through town with access to the beach through the Beachfront location. Breakfast was NOT included in our stay but you could pay for a limited menu at the Beachfront location. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved staying at this place. Everything is great! Pool area is private, clean and they have umbrellas for shade The kitchen is well equipped! Staff was helpful. I would recommend staying here!
We had a wonderful stay at the Residensias Samara. We were at the beachfront location and our room was overlooking the ocean. The property is brand new and it was immaculate. Our room had a kitchenette and we were able to make our own breakfast and lunch and enjoy it on our balcony while watching the action on the beach. The property is right in the middle of town so we easily walked to the grocery store and to all the great local eateries for dinner. The hotel provided beach loungers and umbrellas for our use on the beach. It was very quiet at night and we slept well in the comfortable bed. I would highly recommend staying there and I would happily stay there again myself.

I really enjoyed my time at Residencia Samara. The location is perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and everything you need, yet still quiet enough to relax. The property is clean, safe, and has a great local vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the space felt comfortable and welcoming. Perfect spot if you want a calm place to recharge while staying near all the action.

When can we go back? : )
Our suite was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was a lovely, air-conditioned space to come back to after excursions to the beach and town. It's a very convenient location. The staff is friendly and helpful. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
