This place is a little paradise high above some of the best beaches I have ever been to. Nathan, his family and his beautiful dog Mango are so lovely to be around. They are not the kind of hosts that are in your face all the time, they allow for your privacy. We have stayed here 3 times and will continue to come back every year.

Read moreWe had the loveliest three night stay at Las Estrellas de Samara. The lodge is a 10min drive from Samara up a dusty and windy road (you will need a 4x4 to access the property). Once at the top you will be greeted by the most amazing view over Playa Samara and Playa Carrillo. The individual lodges are modern, comfortable, spacious and clean. Our hosts, Jean-Luc and Paolo, ensured throughout our stay that we had everything we needed and went as far as offering that we borrow a hammock to take with us to the beach which was a nice touch. Breakfast is made to order every morning - absolutely delicious (in particular the French crepes made by...
