When I confronted the manager she literally went on their Expedia site and changed it to not included breakfast, right in front of me! When I reserved my bungalow I was told only the largest was available, 2 people in a sleep 7, so I reserved it, the property was not sold out. I was told because I had the one that has a kitchen I had to pay for breakfast because I could have cooked my own! I don't vacation and rent the most expensive villa to cook for myself. Also the TV did not work while we were there, could not sign into NetFlix or Prime, NO english channels and staff could not fix it. There is no A/C in living room/kitchen where you want to hang out, only in bedrooms, so you have to just lay in bed when your'e not out or it's raining. I brought up multiple inconsistent immenities and she would just change the wording on their Expedia site as I spoke. They would not even offer a discount on breakfast to get a better review, they just ignored me, typical French. They are obviously new to hospitality and are not interested in making a customer a happy or a return customer. Also we are both handicapped and staff were aware of it since we use canes and cannot walk well, not once did staff offer to help us with unloading or loading luggage. We do not recommend this place. If you have reservations I would think twice and rebook somewhere else. ##### James ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristina 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities They were great and even jumpstarted our car when it wouldn’t start. ##### Kristina Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 5 Nov 2023 ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### carol 20 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### loved this spot Wonderful place, great service! ##### carol Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leighton 2 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Leighton Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### pat 8 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Road and access to and from hotel is rough and not friendly user for driver. ##### pat Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kamer 25 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Kamer Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Drue 15 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Drue Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle 18 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities The property is nice, but the facilities are run down. Our shower head barely worked. It didn’t work enough to take a real shower. The room was tiny. We had a small refrigerator, no kitchen as I thought when I booked it. Nowhere to put your bags so they had to stay on the floor. I had an emergency at had and had to cut my trip by a week. The other two hotels I had to cancel were completely accommodating and refunded me my money. This one didn’t care. They just said I have to pay the full price. The pool was really nice and a couple of the staff were very sweet. That made it an okay stay. ##### Michelle Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elias 27 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best hotel in samara Amazingly ##### Elias Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gecko review We had an amazing stay at this lodge. The only thing that was a surprise to us was the cabin had a full kitchen. I didn’t notice that when we booked. But the cabins with the full kitchen do not include breakfast. You could order breakfast for an extra cost. We arrived in the evening and did not bring any food to cook. So we ended up purchasing the breakfast that came with most of the rooms. It was a little frustrating since we spent more than we usually spend on rooms. The pool was also very cold. It was a very nice property. And out of the way of the busy town. If you’re looking for dinner a little later, you will have to travel into town by car. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Terrence 14 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property nestled in the jungle makes you feel like you are in another world yet its location is close enough to the beaches and offerings of Samara.

Staff was great and breakfast delicious. The bed/mattress definitely needs an upgrade. The rooms are outdated but very clean. It’s very close to downtown and the beautiful beach. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna 2 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a great trip ##### Joanna Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 26 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, great pool, clean rooms, yummy breaakfast ##### Robert Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos 31 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Muy bueno Súper privado, silencioso, pocos huéspedes, la comida de la zona excelente! ##### Carlos Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Mar 2021 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Un lugar muy tranquilo y relajante apenas para salir del bullicio dela ciudad y muy cerca de la playa.. y doña Mauriel la administradora muy exelente persona y muy amable...y la haviatacion demasiado comoda ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020
