Villas Playa Sámara Review

Toward the southern extreme of Playa Sámara, right on the beach, this place has the best setting and most extensive grounds around. Built to resemble a small village, the hotel consists of numerous villas varying in size from one to three bedrooms. White-stucco exterior walls and red-tile roofs give the whole thing a Mediterranean look, and the whole complex is set right off a nice, quiet, and calm section of beach. The spacious rooms are outfitted with simple furniture and have tiled bathrooms. All the villas have kitchens and patios, and are finished with colorful bedspreads and artwork, basket lampshades, and vertical blinds on the windows. Not all have air-conditioning. This place has many of the facilities and amenities one would expect at a midsize beach resort. However, the upkeep and maintenance have been spotty over the years, and service can be downright bad.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; midsize outdoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; bike rental; tour desk; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
