    outdoor shower
    inconsistent wifi

    The natural outdoor shower surrounded by lush plants gave a unique and refreshing experience.

    The WiFi was inconsistent in our bungalow, often requiring us to move closer to the pool area for better connectivity.

    The walk to town is peaceful, but be ready for bugs in the villa.

    furniture quality

    well-kept grounds, outdoor shower, hidden beach access

    The WiFi connection is a real headache, cutting in and out at the most inconvenient times!!! The living room furniture needs a serious refresh to match the appealing outdoor aesthetics. Also, the pool temperature could use an upgrade!!!

    lush grounds
    outdoor shower
    attentive staff
    wifi issues
    dull knives

    This place felt like a hidden paradise! The grounds were stunning, surrounded by lush tropical beauty that truly stands out. Our cabin was clean and well-equipped, especially loved the outdoor shower with its natural feel. Staff made our experience special, providing helpful tips and even an upgraded room upon arrival. The location, while a bit removed from town, offered peace away from the noise. However, we struggled with intermittent WiFi in the bungalow, often needing to move closer to the pool for better service. The kitchen utensils could use some improvement. the knives were really dull, which made cooking tougher than it needed to be. Despite a few minor inconveniences, the charm of the place and the warm staff made our stay memorable.

    unreliable wifi

    The staff here was exceptionally attentive and friendly, making our stay enjoyable and comfortable.

    We encountered issues with the WiFi connection in our bungalow, as it was often sporadic and unreliable, though we found better service near the pool.

    jungle oasis
    impeccable service
    beautiful lagoon pool

    we loved el pequeno gecko verde. it felt like a jungle oasis with stunning grounds, and we loved seeing all the wildlife. the private bungalow was comfortable and spotlessly clean. having our own kitchenette was super convenient, and the impeccable service from carlos made our stay even better. we especially enjoyed the beautiful lagoon pool and its relaxing waterfall.

    outdoor shower
    hidden beach
    inconsistent wifi

    The outdoor shower offers a refreshing, natural experience that stands out in the spacious bungalow. Close proximity to a hidden beach allows for a unique retreat away from the crowds.

    The journey into town can be a bit tedious without a rental car, especially with the roads leading to the hotel being unpaved and riddled with potholes. Additionally, access to WiFi in the bungalow is hit or miss, requiring relocation to the pool area for reliable service.

    spotty wifi

    I really enjoyed the cozy outdoor shower and the huge, delicious pancakes during breakfast, but the WiFi was pretty spotty. I'd definitely come back for another peaceful stay!

    would be happy to recommend for a short break

    Lush grounds, immaculate bungalow, the spacious outdoor shower was a highlight worth mentioning, complemented by a refreshing salt water pool that creates a perfect oasis for relaxation.

    Cannot find any fault.

    helpful staff

    It was just a suitable option for a city break in Samara with good price-value balance. The staff were genuinely helpful, arranging a taxi for us during our stay. Bring some extra soap if you're picky about bathroom supplies.
