Great location at Samara. We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town.

I liked the reception spoke pretty good English and were very personable and the hotel is a relatively easy walk down to the beach about 5 minutes away. They are next door to a great place to hire an ATV or tour. Even in low season we found multiple restaurants to est at within easy walking distance.

Giada is a beautiful property, just up the street from the beach in Samara. The flowers and landscaping are amazing, really surprised my wife and I how nice it was. Staff is very friendly (Karina is a sweetheart!). Rooms small and simple, with a nice balcony. Can't beat the price either. We would stay here again.

The staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient, we needed some help with a transportation issue and Oljer was on it!!! The pool in the back is lovely, short walk to restaurants, shopping, bank, etc. The beach is great....all in all we really enjoyed Samara. If we come back we wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Giada Hotel again.

A pleasant hotel with two pools and a small interior garden. With some older and newer features, but all in all clean and a great stay. The closeness to the beach, local shopping and food choices makes it a great option for sating in Samara. Walk the hallways and admire some of local art. A short drive to beautiful Playa Carrillo.
