The Hideaway Hotel

I’m so glad that we stayed at the Hideaway Hotel as opposed to staying right in Samara. At the hotel, you definitely feel like you are in the rainforest. We saw several howler monkeys eating in a tree each day, and iguanas roam the property. The staff is exceptionally nice. Our stay wouldn’t have been the same without the fantastic hospitality shown to us by Felipe and Xinia. All of the food was so delicious. The included breakfast couldn’t have been better. Our plan was to eat dinner at different places in Samara each night; however, all but one night we ate at the hotel because the food and drinks are just that fresh and delicious! My only minor complaint would be that the pillows are really lumpy. If you are traveling to the Samara area, I would definitely recommend the Hideaway Hotel.

We loved our stay here, this little, cosy gem of a hotel is just our kind of place. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, well equipped and not overlooked. Good AC, big beds and tasty coffee. Tap water perfectly safe for drinking. No unnecessary outdoor lighting and distance from town ensure a peaceful sleep. Lovely pool surrounded by greenery. Food and drinks delicious ( great cocktails!) but just a little on the pricey side if you're on a budget. The staff are all wonderful, so helpful, warm and welcoming and yet unobtrusive. We loved the fact that you can borrow beach equipment from the reception. You do need a car to get around but not if you just want to get to the nearest beach. Not 5 star luxury but a very good standard hotel with a heart. Much recommended!

We went here for our honeymoon for five nights and we had such an amazing time! The hotel was walking distance from Playa Sámara and Playa Carrillo and a close drive to the town of Sámara (though we didn’t have a car). The room was comfortable, and we enjoyed the light, fresh meals at the restaurant. I was also particularly fond of the resident lizards. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, especially with helping book our excursions. The staff we primarily interacted with were Xinia, Brian, and Maria, and they were all amazing!

Wonderful small hotel close to the beach with pretty garden/pool, good food and lovely staff. Stayed at the Hideaway for four nights. It is just a minute walk away from a quiet, pretty end of Samara beach, with the beach activities in walking distance. The hotel has pretty, spacious and clean rooms with balcony or terrace and a pool with toys for kids. Nonetheless, it is a place of relaxation and tranquility. They keep a nice library of quality books left behind by tourists, sorted by languages. An Iguana couple lives on site and we saw our neighbors, the howler monkeys, in the tree next door. Staff is extremely kind and attentive, and the food in the restaurant is amongst the best in town. Nothing to add. Very nice experience!!

Great family-friendly hotel tucked into the jungle with a 2 minute walk to the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast and dinner options. Nice to sit by the pool with a tropical drink, kids enjoyed the monkeys, iguanas, and frogs that we could see from the hotel.
