Samaki Lodge & Spa

Guests appreciate the immaculate cleanliness and attentive staff. The hotel boasts well-maintained pools, spa services, and convenient beach access.

So, we stayed at ‘The Beach B&B’ which is linked to and within the same amenities as ‘Samaki Lodge’ - from what we can tell the difference is just the location of the bedrooms, Samaki Lodge rooms are within the lush tropical gardens, The Beach B&B rooms are in a block which are beside the pool and if on the upper floors then balcony view over the beach. We had a view of the beach and enjoyed our very comfortable room and the nice pool area. Then, to confuse things a bit more, both these two resorts are also then linked through a walkway to the Palumbo Reef resort next door which is an all inclusive type resort with large pool, entertainment team putting on activities like pool aerobics, yogi, evening shows etc. Staying at any of the 3 accommodations means you can use the facilities at each. Which is very nice if you want a bit more going on but also have a quieter pool area if you don’t want that. For us, we felt it was a shame to have all the bars, restaurant and pool table etc facilities at The Beach B&B/Samaki Lodge all closed and they expect you to get all food and drink from the Palumbro resort next door. Which, when you book somewhere based on small intimate facilities is somewhat unexpected and although nice to have some of the time at the resort next door but not so nice for the whole stay. We wanted a drink beside the pool and so went to reception to ask, they said we needed to go to the resort to order and I kindly requested that they took my order and had it brought to us as the bar was not open which would really be expected. They agreed and said they often had this complaint and had told the owners/management but they hadn’t done anything about it. This is my way to highlighting to management - you should at least have one bar open beside this pool!!! Would definitely recommend any of these places depending on what you want from your stay as to accommodation as the staff in all areas of each resort were very friendly and nice! And everything is super clean and the flowers and planting all around is beautiful.

Its beautifull hotel, very kind personal. The staff will do everything. Nothing is a problem. Clean beautiful pools. very romantic place. Clean rooms every day. The cuisine is excellent only there could be more fish. There is little fish in the kitchen. It is often repeated, but it is delicious. we lack ice cream and bigger snacks.
