“Excellent location, friendly staff, great pool, close to beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

My wife and I and our teenaged daughter shared a 1BR villa and had plenty of space. The facilities are well maintained. Luca, the owner, was very helpful. The ocean is a 5 minute walk away. There is a grocery store nearby. A car is unnecessary as the entire town is walkable. Our favourite restaurant was El Legato - the sea bass was memorable.

“Absolutely the best honeymoon location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2010

Our honeymoon trip to Samara was one of the happiest two weeks of my life. The town was perfect, not to big and very relaxed. The best part was that we chose to stay at Villas Pepitas. Luca and all of the staff were so wonderful. The room was beautiful and the pool was perfect. Everything was clean and we never wanted to leave! Our hardest decision for the day was to either go to the pool or the beach (about 3 blocks away or 200 meters), we usually did both. I have actually decided that I must retire in Samara!

“Walk to the beach. Well run establishment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2010

Close enough to the forest you can hear the monkeys, but only about 4 blocks walk to Samara beach. Restaurants, a bakery, laundry service, banks, etc. all walking distance. Nice cluster of separate Italian style villas with a decent sized pool in the middle. For the money, this is very close to the beach, and a very clean, comfortable, family-run place.

“Beautiful, clean southern hospitality feeling”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2009

This was the perfect place for my girlfriend and I. I can't imagine finding a better value anywhere in the world. The town was an awesome, quiet little place with some of the best food I have ever eaten. If you want a touristy, shopping town this is not the place for you. But, if you are into a safe beach town where you can take awesome tours provided by the locals and take nice long walks on country roads, this is your place. We saw lots of wildlife, monkeys about 30 yards from the hotel and hummingbirds in the beautiful garden.
