Overall, good
Pros:

Location was good. Pool was relaxing. Staff was nice.

Cons:

No one’s fault from the hotel staff, but our neighbors were quite noisy and there were some creatures (turkeys or monkeys?) walking around on the roof which resulted in a sleepless night.

I had a ground floor room near the bigger pool in the back yard, which was perfect!
Pros:

Very well-kept hotel with two clean, lovely pools. Pretty yard. Very comfy room with good bed and fridge. Plenty of towels, including for beach. Super nice staff. Good breakfast. Convenient location. I loved this place enough to extend my stay!

Cons:

The only thing that wasn’t great was the water pressure in the shower; a new shower head wouldn’t hurt. But not a big deal, really. Still a great place to stay!

It is a nice hotel very well situated in the village. Easy access to the beach, grocery stores, shopping and restaurants
Pros:

I liked the proximity to the village, it was clean, the room had a refrigerator which was perfect for storing food, it has a restaurant which was nice. The staff were very kind and helpful.

Cons:

I didn’t like that the room did not have a coffee maker. The water in the shower was super hot so taking a shower was challenging.

Pros:

We loved our stay at Hotel Guida. We were lucky to have a ground level room next to the pool. Our room was quiet, comfy and clean. We did not have the breakfast but enjoyed our meal at the Italian restaurant attached to the hotel. The location was excellent and the staff were very attentive and friendly. An absolute gem in Samara and we are already looking forward to returning.

Regular....
Pros:

Las zonas comunes : zona de desayuno y piscinas.
El personal del hotel es estupendo, muy amables todos.

Cons:

La habitación al estar en planta baja era muy oscura, había que tener la luz dada de día....
El baño ha conocido tiempos mejores, necesita una remodelación.
El wifi: nos resultó imposible conectarnos, tenía que aparecer un mensaje para introducir nombre y correo pero el mensaje no aparecía. Solicitamos ayuda al personal ( que reitero que fueron muy amables) pero no hubo forma de conectar. Tampoco se conectaba al wifi la TV de la habitación y cuando lo hacía la intensidad era tan baja que se desconectaba enseguida...
