Mon séjour à l'Hôtel Samawa a été fantastique ! Situé près de la plage avec une navette gratuite, l'emplacement est parfait. Les chambres sont luxueuses et bien décorées. La nourriture était délicieuse, et les installations de bien-être étaient impressionnantes : salle de sport bien équipée, bain de glace, cours de yoga et de kickboxing. En résumé, l'Hôtel Samawa est idéal pour une retraite à la plage avec un excellent service, de la bonne nourriture et des activités de bien-être. Hautement recommandé !

Had a fabulous stay in this brand new hotel! Convenient location, it’s close to the beach either by walk or with free buggy ride offered by Samawa hotel. Loved the health and fitness options. Thumbs up for fully equipped gym, trying the ICE BATH was a personal highlight. Felt pampered during stay, left amazed with the overall experience. Top stay hotel!

I recently stayed at Samawa Hotel and had an outstanding experience! The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw from the beach, with a free buggy shuttle making access effortless. The rooms are luxurious and beautifully decorated. The food was exceptional, with every meal a culinary delight. The hotel also boasts fantastic wellness facilities, including a great gym, an ice bath, and yoga and kickboxing classes. Overall, Samawa Hotel is a gem for beachside retreats with top-notch comfort, dining, and wellness activities. Highly recommended!
