The distance to Samara was too far. Very intense sewer smell in the room on one night no beach chairs or umbrellas as advertised in the listing. All chairs were broken.

Beautiful quaint property close to Samara beach. Walking distance to the beach but you have a walk a ways to get to the main Samara beach. Property, rooms, staff, breakfast all excellent. We made our way to Carillo beach close to the property and it is gorgeous.

Lovely B&B like a small resort (about 10 rooms). Very close to beaches; nice pool and grounds; and great staff. The rooms were spacious and clean, and had efficient, quiet AC, which is much needed in this location. The only flaw is the rutted access road/driveway.
