During our stay in Sámara we stayed at the Tuki Tuki Lodge. Besides the rooms, the lodge has a nice pool and bar area and the likable host J.P. immediatly makes you feel very much at home. As kind as he is to his guests, he is even more so to his cat Tigra and his dog Coconut who follows him like a shadow. Every morning Hazel makes different kinds of breakfast for the guests. We had a lovely time here and would certainly reccommend this location.

    My favourite beach stay! Staff were lovely. Location was incredible, right on the beach. Lots of chill out spots to relax on the sand, the shade of a magnificent tree. The Italian food was incredible!! Rooms were very clean! I wish could have stayed longer, but I will definitely go back!

    We loved the breakfasts! Something different prepared every day, they bring in chefs, everything is very tasty and beautifully presented. A very intimate setting too, great for chatting to other guests and the host, Jenna, who was enthusiastic and attentive. Loved the hammock chairs, beautifully placed for watching the sunset. Room was very clean and was kept very clean during our stay. Only about a 15 min stroll into town (I think quite a few reviews put this as a downside but it’s an easy walk), quiet location.

    I loved everything about this space. My budget room was small but perfect for my stay. I loved cooling off in the dipping pool before bed each night. Great location … 5 minutes to walk to all restaurants, beach and shops but also not right in the middle of all the late night music etc.

    Affordable, spacious room. The pool is ideal for cooling down a bit. Breakfast is good. Access to the kitchen is a big plus. Nice and quiet neighborhood. The ocean is calmer than in other beaches on this peninsula, ideal for smaller children or learning to surf.

    Our host Sophia was very kind and accommodating, the location was excellent with very little noise from the surrounding community and the private Courtyard gave a wonderful sense of quiet and privacy. Being one block from the beach and one block from the grocery store makes this an ideal location and the cost value of the accommodations is excellent.

    Very nice spot. Very clean bungalow. Kitchen has everthing you need and also very clean. Always hot water, good water pressure. Moskitonets everywhere. Pool and garden very clean and well-kept. The last part of the street very bumpy, but you can do it slowly without a 4x4. Location in the nature, but still close to Sàmara. You need a car to get there. Parking was safe. Very good price! We would come again!
