The Samade was recommended to us by our travel agent, and we are very appreciative of that recommendation! We only spent 2 nights there but next time we will definitely go for longer. Samade is tucked into a part of the lagoon that provides the best beach (in our opinion!). The bungalows are very comfortable and offer all the necessities,... More

After spending 3 nights at the Samade, we wished we could have stayed longer. We found the staff at the Samade to be super friendly. The rooms were comfy and the a/c worked great, as we like it cool when we sleep. The meals were excellent, both breakfast and dinner. We also went to the Boat House for a dinner... More

We spent 5 nights at Samade, the location is superb. Best swimming beach on the island with bonefish cruising the flats right in front of the restaurant. The rooms are simple but comfy, perfect for us as we spent all day everyday out exploring. The restaurant menu is simple, well priced and most importantly tasty. The locals are amazingly friendly,...

We have just come back from spending 10 wonderful nights at Samade. We are missing that lagoon more than anything and hope, sooner rather than later we get to return. As previous reviews have aluded to, this is not a 5 star resort owned by some faceless company, this is owned by a local and run by locals, and as... More

We stayed at Samade for 3 nights and were very pleased. The staff were very friendly and the room was tidy. The location is not to be beat, with some of the best views of the lagoon and great swimming. If you're looking for a budget option, I would highly recommend Samade.

My husband and I spent the first 8 nights of our honeymoon at Samade and we loved every minute. The cabins are clean and well maintained, the grounds are lush and green and the lagoon is breathtaking. Having breakfast every morning while looking out at the turquoise waters, then spending the day on the beach chairs and in the water... More

We did not stay at the hotel but ate at their restaurant. Very good food with large portions. Also reasonable prices. We had fish buger and hambuger. Beautiful sunset views while eating, very romantic.

Samade on the Beach has a great location right by the best swimming hole in the lagoon. The people are super friendly and the meals in the on-site restaurant are great value. If you want a place where the barman comes out and joins you with a drink, it’s here. It is also appears to be the hang-out spot for... More

After staying on Rarotonga for 5 nights with a lovely view of the reef off shore, and the endless sea beyond, we wanted a different view for our 3 nights at Aitutaki. So choose Samade for its prime location on the lagoon. The view here of the lagoon is ever changing blue hues with the tide and you just can’t... More
