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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Lovely little hotel just outside of Samara town. Rooms are clean and comfortable and staff very helpful. We enjoyed the pool and it’s cosy vibe. The beach is minutes down the road and perfect for early morning and sunsets.

There was a small issue with air con in one room (7) where I think the thermostat wasn't working properly so when on it rapidly made the room very cold. It was not a big problem.

Small size and hotel, pool, beach 200m away, super friendly staff, good restaurant with excellent fresh food, friendly iguanas ;-)

Nothing I did not like

Beautiful boutique style hotel very close to Samara beach. We stayed as a family of four here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was very comfortable. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The pool was a highlight and we enjoyed being able to have a drink and some food while lounging in the chairs poolside. The food was delicious, especially the brownies. Breakfast was also really good! I liked being a little bit out of the town of Samara ( maybe a five minute drive). But just a short walk to the beach from the hotel. Close to playa Carrillo as well, which is another beautiful beach in the area.
