Reviews of The Hideaway Hotel 4 stars

It feels like you’re in a rainforest, but you’re actually a hop, skipand a jump away from the ocean.

Nice boutique hotel on the south end of Samara Beach where it's quiet. The staff was exceptionally nice.

The location was great, close to two beaches. Lots of creatures living in harmony in the grounds.

The food was expensive in the restaurant. Breakfast was okay, but the portions were small. The hotel encourages positive reviews by giving ice cream or beer. Workmen were refurbishing an adjacent building and using grinders at 7am.

Great Staff, Nice breakfast great location

The close proximity to both Playa Samara and Playa Carillo was super convenient. We also loved being able to easily go into town for shopping/restaurants, but honestly the meals we had at the Hideaway Hotel were some of the best meals we had during our 5-night stay. All of our food was amazing, particularly the tipico breakfast, mahi filet with avocado sauce, mahi burgers, regular hamburgers, and (my personal favorite) the brownie sundae. The poolside bar was also amazing--I highly recommend the mango daquiri!

I have no complaints about our stay! Everything was literally perfect!

Our room was clean, spacious, and met our needs as a family of four. Easy location with access into Samara for meals, nearby adventures, and the lovely Playa Carillo, however, a car is definitely recommended. We enjoyed waking up to the howler monkeys each morning, catching a quick glimpse of them at breakfast, and watching the local iguanas walk around. The beach equipment that we could borrow was greatly appreciated.

We specifically booked this property to get away from the noise of Samara and unfortunately, due to the orientation of our room we still could hear significant road noise with motorcycles zooming by at all hours. I think it's luck of the draw as the rooms facing the pool/garden area probably didn't have this problem. The breakfast was decent, but could use a bit more variety for an extended stay, different fruit selection each day would be nice, the kids did however love the french toast - lots of cinnamon!

Monkeys!!!!

I loved everything. There's nothing to complain about

Relax environment near calm beach with restaurant options

Will just recommend to have transportation if staying several days not near options

The property was beautiful, the pool, gorgeous, and it was very convenient to have a restaurant on site. Included breakfast was delicious . The staff were helpful and friendly. The bed was comfortable . chairs and boogie boards were available and it was a short walk to the beach. It is a very short drive to playa Carillo which is another beautiful beach.

The beach is at the opposite end of the main Samara town. This is good if you don’t like the crowds, but if you want to walk to town, it is 45 minutes along the beach and not advisable on the road because it’s winding and narrow. There is a bus that goes back-and-forth to town however The times seem to be a bit unpredictable. We had a car, so we drove into town when we wanted to. Parking was not too difficult in town.

Proximity to beach and lush grounds. Friendly staff!!!

Very private hidden in lush green but close to beaches and town. We have seen monkeys around

Great Location, very close to the Beach. It is located on the more quiet side of Samara Beach. Very friendly and always helpful staff. Friendly and peaceful atmosphere. Food was also delicious and imho fair priced.

Only point we could mention, we had a room on the ground floor, which was bit noisy, but we could change to another one and it was perfect then…

The staff was great and helpful!

Location, food, pool

The sheets and towels were scratchy

The staff were very kind and helpful. Our room was very well appointed with comfortable beds and a nice bathroom. Everything was very clean. The pool is beautiful and had lots of toys available for our daughter.

Time here just purred along in contentment and pleasure. The name sums it up, an archetypal tropical hideaway . The place is just so relaxing and comfortable and lovely, with a small attractive pool. A large peaceful iguana turned up by the pool every day to bask in the sun. Our room was huge. The staff were friendly and very efficient, and the food was delicious. The nearby beach is unspoilt and wonderful for a dawn walk, just a hundred yards away, and a second beach a fifteen minute walk away is even more beautiful. There is abundant wildlife from sea birds to a sighting of a coati.

Just note it is not so close to the attractive and lively village of Sámara. It is a very nice walk along the beach to town, but it’s about a forty minute walk and you will need to wade through a little river a few inches deep. Or $10 taxi ride.

Very good Breakfast with 3 choices

The staff was very friendly. Our first morning there we saw monkeys from our patio. What a nice start to our holiday. The food was very good there and reasonably priced. The hotel is far enough away to be quiet and relaxing, but close enough to be convenient to all the beaches and action of Samara.

Nothing

Great breakfast

Staff was excellent, attentive, kind

Hideaway Hotel was great for us. It was away from the town itself / on the south side of Samara Beach. Nice and quiet, clean and amazing friendly service. And it was just a simple walk down a dirt road to the beach.

Restaurant dinner menu was limited but restaurants in town were great. However, their desserts were delicious! We splurged with the extravaganza - banana split on a warm brownie!
