Samaina Inn

Stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks. Well what can I say rooms were clean sheets and towels changes about 4 or 5 times. Food ok my husband is very fussy so some days he just had chip sandwich. I myself found food very tasty and loads of it. The staff are so friendly always say good morning. Bar staff are very busy but always there with a smile. Beach is only just across the road. The only thing I would say is tol no one is on the beds. But all in all a good place to stay.

Hotel is nice itself, staff very helpful, lovely and hard-working. Location is nice, if you like to stay in a quiet place. Northern part of island has pebbled beaches, south has more places to visit and some sandy beaches and it is close to the airport. Rooms are nice and good size. We had a quiet room on the back side and it was perfect for us. But mattresses are very uncomfortable. There is only one swimming pool and sunbeds are cramped- it was a bit of downside. Food is very tasty but not very varied. Serving area is very small and long queues are standard. All inclusive snacks and drinks- average. Hotel is situated next to the beach and has its own beach but you have to pay for sunbeds. But this was not an issue for me, really. In the evening, you can sit outside facing beach what is nice. There is a local tavern with lovely food and cheap beer ;-).

The food was amazing in this hotel and I loved going for breakfast and lunch as was not so busy, dinner, on the other hand, was another matter, we went down at 7.00 as found this the best time for us as we were hungry, we found every day half the hotel waiting for the doors to be open and then rush in like the food was going to finish, I feel this could have been controlled a lot better by people being given slots on arrival, we did look at later times but it was always so busy and the western Europeans which seem to be mostly the people in the hotel have no manners and just push you out the way. Half the sunbeds was in the shade so no use to us and then the people who did take the ones in the sun put the umbrellas up to be in the shade. We noticed a lot of people putting towels down and then not coming to use them until around 12.00 which is unfair. The rooms were very clean but our bed was never made up and the sheets were just put at the bottom of the bed, I have never come across this in a hotel before, 2 days sheets was not even left and we had to report this to reception who did get this sorted very fast. There also seems to be little entertainment in the hotel and U never saw an animator the whole time I was there although did here she did stuff in the gym, I would have liked some aqua aerobics as it ws hot to be in a gym. I would recommend this hotel but only for a week stay, for me, 2 weeks was much too long due to the location and by the second week I was counting the days to come home.
