Excellent stay, we enjoyed every minute there and appreciated much the staff and the facilities.
Pros:

The hotel facilities including the restaurant, the pool, the green zones and the staff were amazing. I also liked the distance from the Carrillo beach. The service at the beach where you have restrooms, a shower and the chairs were extremely helpful and unexpected; that was a nice touch to the whole experience.

Cons:

just a minimum detail; we couldn't use the coffee maker in the room; when we tried to use it, there where small bugs we could not see if they where cockroach, so, we decided not to pass the coffee complementary at the room.

Pros:

Zimmer sehr geräumig. Poolanlage sehr schön angelegt. Das Frühstück war okay, nichts besonderes. 5 min Autofahrt zum Strand. Am Strand stehen genügend kostenfreie Parkplätze zur Verfügung.

Cons:

Die Poolhandtücher waren von Decathlon und in der kleinen Varianten, leider nicht dem Hotel entsprechend.

Nous avons dû changer de chambre pour la seconde car nous étions pas du tout dans les chambres supérieures que nous avions réservées.
Le prix des repas le soir est exorbitant.

Pros:

Eine schöne, saubere Hotel Anlage mit schönen Zimmern. Das Frühstück ist ist Buffetform, ansonsten gibt es gute Küche im Restaurant. Der Pool ist sauber und schön. Wir als Familie haben den kurzen Aufenthalt auf der Durchreise genossen.

Cons:

Das Personal beim Frühstück war mehr mit dem eigenen Handy beschäftigt, als einen Blick auf das Buffet zu werfen. So entstanden oft Wartezeiten bei Kaffee, Obst und Rührei.

Atende relativamente bem para uma estadia curta
Pros:

Localização excelente. A área externa é um grande destaque, com muito espaço, bastante verde e um ambiente agradável. As piscinas são boas e bem cuidadas.
O atendimento é excelente, sempre atencioso e prestativo, e tudo estava muito limpo durante a estadia.
Um diferencial importante é o serviço de transfer até a praia de Carrillo (que, inclusive, é muito melhor que Sámara), com suporte no local incluindo chuveiro, banheiro e cadeiras de praia, o que faz bastante diferença na experiência.

Cons:

O quarto é antigo e precisa urgentemente de reforma. As janelas não tinham vedação adequada. As mantas estavam gastas e manchadas, e o chuveiro espalhava água para todos os lados. Havia fios com conexões expostas no quarto, o que gera preocupação em relação à segurança. As toalhas disponibilizadas para uso na piscina e na praia também poderiam ser de melhor qualidade. Além disso, o café da manhã é bastante fraco, abaixo do esperado para o padrão geral do hotel.

Mooi verblijf in de buurt van Samara
Pros:

Mooie kamer, leuk zwembad met een barretje. Lekker buffet ontbijt in de ochtend, we hebben een avond mee gegeten, goede keuken maar vrij prijzige gerechten. Het ligt boven aan een berg op 5 autominuten van het strand (er gaat ook een gratis shuffle) en 15 minuten van Samara, dit vonden we een leuk levendig stadje met voldoende restaurant keuze.

Cons:

Er stond bij de omschrijving dat er een balkon bij de kamer was maar dit is een frans balkon van 20cm diep. Er waren ook andere kamers die wel balkons hadden of een tuintje, jammer dat dit niet duidelijk omschreven was.
Er stond een koffieautomaat maar de koffie werd niet bijgevuld tijdens het verblijf.
