Gecko review
We had an amazing stay at this lodge. The only thing that was a surprise to us was the cabin had a full kitchen. I didn’t notice that when we booked. But the cabins with the full kitchen do not include breakfast. You could order breakfast for an extra cost. We arrived in the evening and did not bring any food to cook. So we ended up purchasing the breakfast that came with most of the rooms. It was a little frustrating since we spent more than we usually spend on rooms. The pool was also very cold. It was a very nice property. And out of the way of the busy town. If you’re looking for dinner a little later, you will have to travel into town by car.

Jungle Paradise
This small hotel sits in the jungle underneath tall trees just filled with howler monkeys. It is delightful. The landscaping is lovely, the pool is clean and refreshing, and the proprietors are friendly and helpful. We loved it!

Siamo stati tre notti in questo lodge a Samara. Ci siamo trovati molto bene. Il lodge è composto da varie casette, ognuna con un camera di diverse dimensioni. Avevamo due camere, una grande con un angolo cucina e la doccia esterna e una per le nostre figlie piccolina, ma molto carina. In un immobile centrale viene servita la colazione, che è molto buona e abbondante con vari menù a scelta.. il lodge dispone anche di una bella piscina. Il personale e la proprietaria sono molto gentili e accoglienti. Sicuramente un bel posto accogliente e tranquillo dove risiedere per visitare le spiagge di Samara, e scoprire le spiagge sulla costa a nord e a sud di Samara. Proporrei se possibile di mettere a disposizione un asciugacapelli e un paio di ombrelli in ogni stanza.

Ideal stay and highly recommend. The grounds are absolutely stunning. Staff are quite attentive. Rooms are clean and comfortable. With a few iguanas walking around the property and howler monkeys in the background, morning coffee on my porch hammock was especially enjoyable. Looking forward to a return.
