The staff were attentive and kind and we felt very well taken care of a Xanadu. We truly loved our trip to this cottage. ##### Renee W. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelly J. 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful getaway My wife and I just spent 6 days there and loved it! It is such a nice place. It isn't very big but it was all that we needed. We loved that it has a full-size kitchen. The weather was great (mid to upper 70's) so we could open the 2 double doors in the living room and see the beautiful plunge-pool area. Every day we would take the short walk (less than a minute) down to the lookout point where we could see the ocean. This guest house has some small beach access but the water is usually a little high to use that unless it is low tide. The cleaning ladies, especially Yamali, were wonderful. They asked us daily if we needed anything. Yamali greeted us at check-in with rum punch, fresh guacamole, and veggie plate and was there at checkout with morning cocktails. I love the location of this place. It only took about 10 minutes from the airport and only about 10 more minutes to all the cool restaurants and shops in Grace Bay. There is also a wonderful restaurant a short walk away called Rockhouse with a smaller more casual lower area called the Cave Bar. We can't wait to go stay at Xanadu again! ##### Shelly J. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina H. 6 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Guest Cottage with Amazing Staff We stayed in the Xanadu Cottage at Samsara for 9 blissful days. The cottage sits on a larger property adjacent to the much larger Samsara Villa.The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed with a king sized bed in the airconditioned bedroom, a very nice bathroom, a large living area with a kitchen at one end and a beautiful private deck and plunge pool. And, there is a path down to a private beach hangout.All of that was wonderful but the real treat was the staff. Yamalli and team were very attentive while not being intrusive. They went out of their way to provide treats and guidance to us and generally made us feel special.If you stay here, I strongly recommend a rental car as restaurants and other island attractions are not within walking distance. There's a secure gated entrance and private parking to make that easy.And, finally, Linda provided us with solid directions and communication.We've stayed in many short term rentals and own one ourselves and can confidently recommend this cottage for a wonderful stay on Poividencailes. ##### Christina H. Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### John W. 28 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Noisy Construction Close By Despite the listing of "idyllic", this property is far from idyllic due to nearby construction. There is major construction going on next to the villa. Be prepared to hear heavy equipment along with other constructions sounds all day. It was a grave disappointment. The listing agent should failed to mention the ongoing noise, from 7am to 5pm (all the daylight hours in December). ##### John W. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer F. 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful but not necessarily accurate This guest house is very lovely. The workers are kind but very present all day long as they walk behind the mini pool all day and look into your residence each time they pass by. I would not call this place private. It was uncomfortable and awkward the majority of the time. This guest house is above the staff laundry and kitchen working area that services the main house so you hear laundry all day long. They were even spray painting furniture and sanding deck chairs for the main house a lot of the time. Even if the sign on your door says “privacy please” they still knock and come in. There is AC but ONLY in the bedroom, however, it is very comfortable to have in the one room for sleeping. The living space is open air but the mosquitos are overwhelming. The refrigerator did not work and when we did inform the staff she did not seem to understand and simply smiled at us. We had to put everything in the freezer which ruined most of the food. The staff would kindly bring fruit and yogurt plates that seemed to be left overs from the main house. The “private beach” was very disappointing as it is a 10ft by 5ft sand area that can be accessed between 1pm to 4pm only as the high tide swallows it up. The water is nice but you must wear reef shoes to enter as the seabed is covered in sharp pieces and is not swimmable or walkable unless you have reef shoes. Over all, this place was adequate but you must have a car to get meals or travel to the beaches that are actually usable. ##### Jennifer F. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin C. 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Beautiful, great beach access, but Not ready to rent Yamali and Wilma were extremely helpful and did a great job trying to make our stay incredible. We planned a secluded, quiet, and relaxing week at SamSara/Xanadu. We did not get that. We received an email stating the cottage path to the beach was unavailable due to construction. We were offered upgrades, access to beach cove/toys and tennis courts. Then we received a second email stating the work was completed and we would no longer be given any upgrades. Seemed odd to offer then take away. Upon check in on Monday, Oct 2nd, the temp in the cottage was 86 degrees. We contacted Yamali who had maintenance out quickly. Later that evening we realized the cottage did not have hot water. On Oct 3rd. The crew came out again. We were told the water heater had been replaced. Unfortunately, we still did not have hot water. On Oct 4th, day three without hot water it was fixed. We received an email stating “We do not have another one bed unit - we are not a hotel. We would like to provide access to a suite and hot shower.” No kitchen, just access to the suite for hot shower. Thankfully we did not have to shower in the suite. On Oct 5th the air conditioner was replaced as it never went below 76 degrees. We were under the impression that the work to the Villa had been completed, so we were surprised to find construction material, loud noises and men working early most mornings. Due to all the inconveniences I believe compensation is due. ##### Kevin C.

Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Diane K. 30 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Xanadu was an excellent property! Beautiful stay at Xanadu. This Cottage has everything a couple could need.. and is so well stocked! I think our biggest regret is that the hot tub listed was by error and there is no one to discuss any issues with on the property of Samara. There is no phone number to call for help or emergencies on the property. For example, on our last full day, Saturday, we were sitting on the lanai having our coffee. A gentleman pulled up in a truck (obvious pesticide company by the hoses and tanks. He pulled away but returned in 5-10 minutes and starting spraying all the trees by us without warning! Yet he was well protected in his gear! The 2 people there on most days, Nari and Wildeli were excellent and so sweet, but there is a language barrier. I thought the emails I sent to the “Concierge Team” were poorly handled with abrupt responses and never an apology for their listing being wrong, as there was no hot tub. The small infinity pool with jets was very nice and refreshing but we wasted 2 days trying to get the “heat turned on”. Further, it should be known there is no view of the Caribbean from the cottage and there are several stairs to access the cottage. Which for us was difficult after my knee surgery. And the walk down to the beach (which was breathtaking!) was difficult for us, as well. Overall, I’d go back to Xanadu in a heartbeat, knowing what I do know now. But, I’d be sure that my physical stamina was better and a hot tub was not needed for my therapy. ##### Diane K.

If you DO NOT stay here in Turks & Caicos, you're making a mistake! The property is beautiful and from the time you arrive to leave you're treated like royalty. Food and drinks on arrival, staff is beyond friendly, drinks at checkout, and all the amenities you could need! This property is unlike anything else on Grace Bay as you have multiple options to utilize; personal beach, pools, day bed overlooking the ocean, outside bars, etc. Also Rock House is literally right next door and only a 2 minute walk. We walked their every night for dinner and sunset. I can't say enough great things about this trip and visit, we will be back! It is the best resort and value on the island! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer L. 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay at Xanadu! My partner and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Xanadu. The Xanadu Cottage is part of the larger Samsara property — all of which was beautifully maintained and situated along a private stretch of TCI’s gorgeous coastline. We were looked after by a warm housekeeping staff and our concierge, Rhiann, was attentive and beyond accommodating. Xanadu is close to grocery stores, fine restaurants and Grace Bay while still feeling very private and secluded. We would love to stay there again. ##### Jennifer L.

Everything about our stay at Xanadu cottage at Samsara was perfect! Yamali did an excellent job as our concierge and was very attentive to our every need. I definitely recommend the conceirge option to have our fridge pre stocked, so our arrival was stress free! The beach is amazing, and we went snorkeling right from the Samsara beach. It was beautiful! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin B. 26 Mar 2019 #### A lovely hideaway in a great location Xanadu is a private single house in the larger property of Samsara. With its own plunge pool, deck and well fitted kitchen, there's no need ever to step outside but then you'd be missing the views of the ocean and the warm waters of the Caribbean which you can enjoy at the house. Its location on International Drive is perfect to access all the delights of Providenciales, close to the airport, beaches and restaurants. ##### Colin B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn R. 7 Feb 2019 #### Perfectly Private Getaway We spent a week (again!) at Xanadu cottage. The cottage is spacious, clean, and comfortable. It has a lovely deck area to relax on, enjoy al fresco dining, or immerse yourself in the beautiful slate pool. The beach area is spectacular and we enjoyed daily snorkeling just steps away and lounging in the sand. We also enjoyed having a private sun deck area to ourselves with the beach just a few steps down from there. Linda is wonderful and makes sure that everything is to your satisfaction. She has a top notch staff that are so welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed! ##### Lynn R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jess B. 5 Nov 2018 #### Lavish Romantic Vacation for Two I booked this gem as a surprise for our wedding anniversary. What a pleasure it was to stay in chic Xanadu cottage with wonderful staff and a fabulous beach just a few steps away! The villa itself is a stylish, modern Caribbean sanctuary which endorsed peace, serenity and indulgence. Nothing better than to be greeted with a cocktail and pre-stocked kitchen. We also indulged in an ocean-side couples’ massage which Samsara kindly organised for us! Just pure bliss! Would 100% recommend Xanadu for a lavish romantic vacation for two! ##### Jess B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lourdes R. 22 Oct 2018 #### Getaway in the tropical treetops I booked this gem as a surprise for our wedding anniversary.

Our stay at Xanadu was just dreamy. The cottage, adjacent to Villa Samsara in Providenciales, was exactly the type of place you’d see on the back of a postcard. Picturesque, impeccably upheld and boasting the most beautiful of interiors. Our days at this home-away-from-home paradise were spent on the white-sandy shores of Samsara beach, just a stone’s throw away, where the water is as blue as blue can be. There is sheer beauty to be witnessed at this location, in the form of striking sunsets from Turtle Cove and refreshing dips in the sea. We never wanted to leave! ##### Charlotte H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pensions Spain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spain-Pensions.d166-aaPensions.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Continental Hotel Budapest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Continental-Hotel-Budapest.h3052491.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Residences Costa Adeje](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-Wyndham-Residences-Tenerife-Costa-Adeje.h70078231.Hotel-Information) > > [Tyn-y-Coed Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Betws-Y-Coed-Hotels-Tyn-Y-Coed-Hotel.h83010777.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pine-Cay-Hotels-The-Meridian-Club.h916114.Hotel-Information) > > [Grace Bay Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Grace-Bay-Club.h18687.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bournemouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels.d654.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Madrid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Madrid-Hotels.s50-0-d178281.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Witham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Witham-Hotels.d5481.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Seven Stars Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Seven-Stars-Resort-Spa.h1927524.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Phuket-Kalim-Bay.h17060685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h64637063.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Club Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Ocean-Club-Resort.h897661.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a View in Manchester City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-City-Centre-Manchester-Hotels-Hotel-With-A-View.0-n6192111-0-thotelwithaview.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Zenza Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Zenza-Hotel.h57395119.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kaleiçi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kaleici-Antalya-Hotels.0-n6175694-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Alexandra Resort - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Alexandra-Resort-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h981089.Hotel-Information) > > [Beaches Turks & Caicos - ALL INCLUSIVE](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Beaches-Turks-Caicos-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h197859.Hotel-Information) > > [The All New Grace Bay Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-THE-ALL-NEW-GRACE-BAY-SUITES.h38338087.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-The-Palms-Turks-And-Caicos.h1161674.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal West Indies Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Royal-West-Indies-Resort.h1070109.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shore Club Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-The-Shore-Club-Turks-And-Caicos.h15438835.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sands at Grace Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-The-Sands-At-Grace-Bay.h396128.Hotel-Information) > > [Wymara Resort and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Wymara-Resort-And-Villas.h2431321.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Haven Resort - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Providenciales-Hotels-Blue-Haven-Resort-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h6326300.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Santa Cruz (FNC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/fnc/east-midlands-to-funchal) > > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Naples (NAP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/nap/bristol-to-naples) ### Cars > [Car hire in Montego Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Sir-Donald-Sangster-Intl.d4866637.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Kraków Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krakow.d6035306.Holidays-City-Breaks)
