What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Divine Spa Experience!

The spa at Samari is absolutely fantastic! I treated myself to the most extensive treatment they offer, and it truly was divine. The ambiance was soothing and fragrant, especially with their Cedron water diffusers creating a lovely aroma throughout. After a long day of activities, spending time in the spa was pure bliss. I would highly recommend anyone to enjoy the spa at least once during their stay!

Breakfast Bliss!

The breakfast at Samari is simply delicious! They offer an abundance of options, and I was particularly impressed with their humitas-it was one of the best I've ever tasted. The way they bring the breakfast directly to your room if the weather isn't great is a special touch. It's definitely a must-try during your stay!

Stunning Honeymoon Suite!

We were upgraded to a honeymoon suite that was nothing short of amazing! The space was incredibly private, with a stunning bathroom that felt like a luxury escape. The ambiance was perfect for romance, especially with the fireplace lit for us. It was one of the most beautiful rooms I've ever stayed in!

Luxurious Bathroom Space!

The bathroom in our suite felt like a retreat all on its own! It was spacious and beautifully designed with stunning decor. I particularly enjoyed the ample space for toiletries, making it easy to settle in for a long bath after an adventurous day. It truly added to the overall luxury experience of my stay at Samari.
