Samari Spa Resort

Samari is a wonderful place to stay! Unique, historical buildings, pretty gardens, with excellent staff, food and spa. Everyone was so helping in making our time in Banos special and Dora in reception is the best! They also have a peacock on the property.

Outstanding.

The rooms smelled awful and the restaurant customer service ruined our night. I checked out before my reservation ended to escape the smell even though I didn’t receive a refund for the remaining days of our suite. Stay away from this hotel, I would not recommend. They tried to give us two old rooms that smelled terrible before they showed us the newer room which still smelled, just not as much. We stopped at the restaurant for a quick snack and drink before needing to board our scheduled Chiva bus. After 35 minutes of waiting for our drinks we had to tell them we can’t wait for our drinks anymore and we paid for our food and left. 15 minutes later the waiter chased us down in the streets where we were waiting for our bus and argued with us saying that we have to come back and drink the drinks they still continued to make after we paid and left and that they charged us for them without our authorization.

Beautiful property. Perfect place to relax.

the installations and reception

just cosmetic, but I feel the showers need more lighting.

The property and grounds were beautiful and serene. My sister came down with a bad cold, and the front desk organized medicine delivery for her from a local pharmacy, which was very helpful. The spa was quite nice and relaxing, and the breakfast was incredible. The room was spacious and very cozy.

The town of Baños is ~30 min walk away, so you can opt to take a taxi. Other than that, the stay was very comfortable.

Beautiful and peaceful place. Exactly what we need to relax. The personnel was the best. The food is good, the “empanadas de viento” is something I recommend everyone to try.
