Samantha Inn Beach Resort

Excellent, quiet location. A cozy place. The sea is 5 minutes away. There are cafes and shops nearby. Helpful and friendly staff. personal parking for motor vehicles.

The location was great, just a 5 minute walk to the beach. I also liked the outdoor seating area with some trees for shade. There was a nice little cafe next door which was convenient and several small shops for water and essential items.

The first room the owners allocated me was very tiny room with no furniture except a small built-in wardrobe and I spent the first day and night trying to avoid tripping over my suitcase lying on the only small piece of floor-space. I was not happy because I had paid for a room for 2 persons. The proprietor agreed to move me to a slightly bigger room but wanted extra money for this, even though I said I would not use the air-con. However, after I contacted booking.com for assistance, they agreed to the same price for the slightly more spacious room, with the air-con disabled. There was initially no furniture in the room, apart from the bed and 1 tiny wardrobe. Even though they gave me a kettle, it would not reach the socket, as it was high above the floor. But after a few days of asking, they brought in a table which allowed me to use the kettle and put some of my things out. To improve, this accommodation needs to consider the comfort of their guests and not just be concerned about getting more money for rooms. For instance, they could put some small tables in the rooms and some hooks on the walls to hang some clothes and towels from. The rooms also should be cleaned regularly. My room was only cleaned 3 times in 12 days and only when I requested it and each time I was told to wait until the next day and ask again. Even then it was a just a quick 5 minute sweep and floor mop. The bathroom wasn't cleaned and my bedding wasn't changed once. I had to ask for a clean sheet or towel. I felt sorry for the maid because she worked alone and had several rooms and the garden area to clean single-handedly. There was another male employee, but the only thing I saw him do was to water the plants one day! This place has the potential to be really pleasant if the owners paid more attention to the experience and comfort of their customers.

Near to the beach good location & little silent place

cleaning

Location is good. Just few meters away from the beach.

I would not recommend it for family or couples. Only basic facilities provided.

very well located, available and friendly staff.

The wifi did not reach well in the room, you hear a lot of party music at night, the price and quality of the room are not related, it should be cheaper.

Good value basic India room with own bathroom hot water and fan. 2 mins walk to the beach.Staff friendly and helpful.
