The kids will sleep soundly after frolicking by the water at Samara Beach. Hunt for washed up treasures, stick a toe in the water or throw a Frisbee around!

7.6/10 Good! (1,436 reviews)
My friends and I had such an amazing time here. The staff was beyond friendly , always went above and beyond. The pools were great and loved the pool bars. Drinks tasted great and kept on coming. Excursions around the area were so much fun. Only down side about this hotel is the restaurants they have are soooo small and super annoying to make reservations for. We ended up only trying two of the restaurants. The buffets however were tasty and offered good options!!

This is a 3 star property per American standard however it is advertised as 4+ on Expedia. I had no specific complaints but overall property needs some renovation. The road leading to hotel is awful and had lot of potholes and rough patches. Food quality was overall good/above average as compared to rooms. There is no wildlife around hotel and also beach is a brown sand beach and not very picturesque. Pools are good though.
