Samara Pacific Lodge is a hidden gem for our Samara adventure! The location was perfect. We could walk to the beach for some surfing in the mornings, then head into town for delicious local eats in the afternoons. In the evenings, the pool area was a lifesaver! Nice and refreshing, with plenty of comfy loungers to catch some rays and unwind. The staff here were incredible. Kenneth and Allen were so friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond with a smile. And breakfast every morning was a delicious way to start the day. Those pancakes – seriously, amazing! The room itself was big, with balcony. The bed was comfy, and everything was spotless. Just perfect for crashing after a day of fun in the sun.

Beautiful rural hotel close to town
Very friendly and helpful staff. The staff are efficient and delightful. Beautiful setting surrounded by monkeys, horses, cows, peacocks and at least one rooster. Great breakfasts. It’s possible to walk to the beach or into town from here although it is not close. The internet is not available in the Roma but sometimes in the garden area.

Beautiful hotel with great food
The hotel is very nicely arranged around a swimming pool, bar and restaurant. The restaurant food is a cut above most of the restaurants in Samara with a wonderful new Spanish chef. The only drawback was the road into the hotel, in horrible condition but not that big of a deal as a short ride. We know the area well as we live in the mountains above.

Friendly workers, Great Breakfast. No frills
The front desk and owner were awesome. Surprised that they didn't have a little frig/coffee maker in the room and the hotel didn't have ice unless you went to the front desk during working hours. Drink prices were reasonable. The made to order breakfast in the morning was a nice added touch. We went during the off season, so there were very few guests. The 3 rooms is a bit deceiving, the beds are basically the same that they would be in a double bed hotel, except they put up a wall and a window....no privacy. Bathroom should have been in the middle and the two bedrooms on the ends.

Extremely friendly staff, always willing to help and go the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable. The room had an AC and 2 fans, a nice bathroom with hot water and a balcony. Nice pool. The restaurant is closed due to the pandemic, but they do have breakfast and a selection of nice cocktails.

Nice place. Completely packed with mostly French tourists. Good breakfast, nice staff, and even though they say that you are 5 minutes walking to the beach, it’s minimum 5 minutes by car. After walking one way for 30 minutes on a very dusty road, we turned back.

Our stay at Samara Pacific Lodge was great! The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. The pool and dining areas were very well maintained and breakfast was good. Rooms are simple but were clean and had well-working AC. Parking is free, on-site, in a gated lot. The location is outside of downtown Samara but within 15 minute walking distance (20 minutes to walk along the beach). We would highly recommend this property!

Great week long stay!
Our family really enjoyed our week long stay at Samara Pacific Lodge. The owner and staff are all so wonderful! The family room was very basic (no fridge or anything), but the front desk allowed us to keep drinks in their fridge for us. The breakfast had 2 options (pancakes with fruit salad or typical- rice/beans, eggs and toast), and both were delicious. The fruit salad was so fresh and delicious. The fresh squeezed juice every morning was excellent. Oh and their homemade jam- especially the pineapple was SO GOOD! The rooms and grounds were clean, the parking was behind a gate with a passcode, and the front desk was most helpful with any info. The pool is quite deep, but there is a small shallow pool for kids if needed. The chairs/loungers around the pool were comfortable as well. Definitely recommend staying here!

Pacific Lodge Overview
Samara Pacific Lodge was a great place to stay and relax. Staff was very friendly and quick to provide service. We would gladly stay there again. Two recommendations: improve WiFi in garden area; our room located in the garden had very poor WiFi with frequent outage. Although location is in walking distance from the town and the beach, do don’t want to walk there after dark (6 pm) because of packs of dogs who can be very aggressive. We were attacked twice and one lady was bitten. Suggest working with the municipality to address this issue
