We spent an amazing week at Hotel Samaina INN from August 29 to September 5 in family room number 132. The hotel is impeccably clean, with excellent food and a warm, well-maintained pool. The greatest asset is the staff – always smiling, helpful, and professional. Eva and her colleagues at reception resolve every request with a smile, Maria and Agnieszka spread good cheer at the bar from morning till evening, and the hotel manager, who is evidently held in high esteem by the staff, pleasantly surprised us with his fluent Czech. A lovely gesture was the birthday celebration for our father with a cake – simply wonderful, cause we did not even notified hotel stuff about any birthday upfront. The discovered it themselves! And the paradox? While the hotel and its staff were exemplars of hospitality and professionalism, the only weak point during our stay was the Fischer tour operator’s representative, who seemed to be doing her job reluctantly. Fortunately, this had nothing to do with the hotel – and it was precisely Hotel Samaina INN that made our vacation truly exceptional. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning.

We stayed for two weeks long transfer time Hotel is lovely spotlessly clean and 99% of staff were lovely Food was good and chefs apart from one great over my allergy All inclusive drinks were awful from beer to cocktails we paid in the end We paid for a sea view room and requested a walk in shower the shower continually flooded making it extremely dangerous after days of reporting we ended up with numerous bath mats handle on shower broken when fixed no hot water to be given all sorts of excuses but after 24 hours hot water The sea view room was none existent unless wind blew the tree reception told be I had to get my priorities right !!!

Pleasant hotel but quite out the way. Easily an hour & half transfer with Tui after drop offs. A few bars by dock area with nice meals & drinks. A couple of restaurants with great food in the other direction although didn’t walk far so may have been more but unlikely. Hotel staff are lovely, so helpful & friendly. A real credit to the hotel. Very comfortable beds. Room nice but you could do with more storage for clothes & shelves/cupboards in bathroom for your toiletries. There is room for them so not sure why there isn’t more. Food in buffet restaurant is very nice & enjoyable. Limited snacks though served at pool bar between 4-4.30. Comfortable sun loungers around pool. Not so good points - only bar for all inclusive drinks is the pool bar. Drinks are served in small glasses, even beer, which was sadly flat, & cocktails, which were small & syrupy. Vodka was quite nice & wine ok. Didn’t try other drinks. There is a large nice looking bar near foyer but you have to pay for all drinks, no all inclusive served. This meant that bar was quiet & pool bar very busy with poor bar women working non stop. She was amazingly still very happy & friendly though. Bar serves 11-11 with lobby bar open until midnight. WiFi was poor. We struggled to get signal continuously anywhere. No signal on beach, which you had to walk over the road to. Road wasn’t particularly busy but some people could find it an issue listening to traffic noise. Beach was small with grass area that lead onto a narrow sand & stony beach with free sun loungers. You needed beach shoes to get into the sea comfortably but was sand a few steps in. Limited entertainment only on certain nights. Overall this is a lovely friendly hotel but a few changes could make it a better.
