We loved our stay at the Good Life Lodge. The family were so lovely, warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We have to mention Vivian before we mention Spencer the dog :) Vivian doubles up at the housekeeper and does marvellously at keeping the accommodation absolutely spotless. She speaks excellent English and is there to offer any advice or organise trips if you need. You will also be visited by the lovely Spencer, he looks quite frightening but is a beautiful dog who will play with you for hours, he is quite partial to your air conditioning too (Hi Spencer x). Just to make you aware the family will ask for payment on arrival, they feel quite embarrassed about doing this so please don't be offended. The reason for this is some horrible people have stayed and left without payment. This is a very unkind act and not a nice thing to do especially when they make such an effort to make you feel at home. This is their business and the money helps them to live and make improvements to the lodge. The accommodation is spacious with a good shower, safe, tv and a very comfortable bed. Kevin also brings fresh coffee to your terrace area every morning for when you wake, such a nice touch. We had a brilliant time here, we felt very relaxed and safe. It is close to the beach, shops and a really good restaurant is next door. Thank you all...

Read moreIf you're heading to Samara, staying at Good Life Lodge is a must! Our experience was nothing short of 5 stars. The lodge was immaculate, and the staff were exceptional, making every part of our stay delightful. From thrilling surfing and ATV adventures, fantastic “Butts and Gutts” workouts, to tranquil sunrise jogs and picturesque dinners on the beach—every detail was perfect. In my opinion, the location is ideal, just down the road from the coolest and liveliest part of the beach, full of tourists and locals alike, complete with a restaurant, bar, and volleyball courts. The highlight of our evenings were the sunset margaritas by the beach, followed by the vibrant atmosphere at the International Beach Volleyball tournament and an electrifying late-night beach rave with live DJs. The value for money is fantastic, with top-notch amenities and service that truly exceed expectations. I highly recommend Good Life Lodge for an unforgettable vacation where every expectation is not just met but exceeded. Thanks to the amazing staff for a truly special stay. We can’t...
