Samai Lodge Holistic Living

Our stay was very relaxing, quiet and tranquil.

The property is a bit difficult to access since it is on a dirt road up some steep hills. The taxis in the area all know where it is so that is good. During our stay it rained and the road got slippery so the taxi was spinning to make it up the hill.

everything was very clean and tidy. it was difficult to keep some insects away from the room but it was not that annoying. The jacuzzi was very nice. I think it is very necessary to arrive by car in order to be able to move around since the lodge is in a nice quiet place, but quite far away from the beach.

I would have expected to have a more local breakfast with plantain. Instead we had bread which was ok but could be better.

If you're looking for a paradise in seclusion, you've come to the right place. The hotel is owner-operated, is located in the middle of the cloud forest, has a pool, offers fantastically good massages and has a phenomenal view of the sea and the surrounding landscape. A restaurant serving freshly prepared Ecuadorian cuisine rounds out the offerings. The staff speaks mostly only Spanish, but thanks to Google Translate and hands and feet, it can all be managed.

the view, location

the rooms had a lot of humidity and the smell felt very strong. I understand that the hotel is located in the middle of nature but I didn’t like that the animals get inside the room. And for me, it was very shocking to get up in the morning and see next to me a big spider.

the location is really nice you are in the middle of the jungle but you have to be prepared because the weather sometimes is unstable

the property is located on top of a hill and it is not easy to get up, especially if it’s wet it becomes very slippery, the other thing is that the last day of our stay our room was invaded by insects and they say that it happens because you are in the jungle but it is hard if you are not used to it.
