Villa Samalas Resort and Restaurant

Villa Samalas exceeded our expectations. The location is amazing, the little bungalows are spacious and well equipped, and the location very close to the beach couldn't be better. Moreover, the personal is extremely friendly and we felt that they tried everything to make our stay great. There were two things that I was a bit worried about reading about them in other reviews: breakfast and internet. However, both turned out to be great. Internet was working perfectly well while we were there. Also, we really liked the included breakfast. Yes, you get exactly one juice, one hot beverage, one dish and fruits, but we always felt that it was more than enough and it was delicious.

Nothing really. Only thing you should be aware of is that you can't really shade the room from the morning sun. It will be somewhat bright even if you use the indoor curtains and outdoor shades, but that was not a problem for us.

Amazing place! With only 4 walled for privacy villas, we had great place to stay and recharge for 5 days... Designer rooms, great bed, plenty of place to pack, good wifi, minifridge and complementary water. Own, very private garden and patio. Great breakfast options. Friendly staff. In a few steps from the shore with designated sunbeds and matrasses. All excursions and trips can be booked at reception. (I found worth to get a horse cart to get from the port to the Villa as it is a 20 min walk possibly with your luggage in 30+ degrees) I hope to go back to spend more time in this oasis :)

Couple of hooks in the room and a shelf to keep shower accessories next to the shower would be good. Nothing major...

Clean and welcoming. Individual small gated bungalows set back from the beach. Lovely gentle and friendly staff.

All very good.

Breakfast was excellent and the guys running the resort were always available, always smiling, ready to help.

All around, an excellent property.

The air conditioning was barely functional.

Villa Samalas is perfect, with an amazing location and such kind, helpful staff. The room is really nice and we like that you have a private garden area, which makes it easy to leave sandy clothes and shoes out to dry. The breakfast and food at the restaurant was delicious. All the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They all made us feel so welcome. Snorkeling here is amazing! It's easy to get out to the reef right from the beach and we saw so many turtles and beautiful fish. We cannot recommend this place enough and hope we can return!

We enjoyed oyr stay here, it is a bit out of the main area but this is what we like, very close to the beach. The rooms are lovely and private and staff go out of their way to help and make your stay there very pleasant. Would recommend staying here. Terima kasih banyak.

Amazing and private place to stay, we even extended our stay as we liked the place and the island so much, would definitely come back again! It has only 4 private villas with the garden, so very peacful and relaxing. Best beach in the island where you can see turtles and even (safe) baby sharks if you are lucky, vey good place for snorkeling. Walking distance from the "centre" or you can rent a bicycle if you want. Everything as on the pictures and promised! Amazing and very helpful staff, always there for you if needed, big greetings to Ali and the masterchef, breakfast really really good! If you are looking for piece, quite and relax, look no more, definitely recommended!

Everything was good, yes, it does not have blockout curtains at the moment, but the good side from that you can start your day early and get the most from it!

A perfect, relaxing stay. Lovely, spacious, and impeccably clean room. Our own garden area. Lovely food. Friendly, helpful staff. Good shower. Quiet beach. We also booked a private snorkelling trip which was lots of fun. I would definitely stay here again.
