Excellent value for money. The owners are very friendly and helpful with anything you might need and a nice chilled vibe around the place. Since it's a little outside the town too it's nice and peaceful at night.

The owner/general manager, Kiban, and his entire staff were helpful, sensitive and attentive to my needs and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The kitchen areas were very clean and well-stocked with appliances and cooking utensils.and the entire facility was comfortable, safe and very well-maintained. The price and the facilities are probably the best value-for-dollar places to stay in Samara. Highly recommended, particularly for backpackers on the earlier side of life.

This was our first trip with a baby - we had our 4 month old daughter with us and stayed here for 8 nights. It was truly exceptional. The staff is so thoughtful, kind, generous, gracious, and helpful. Our baby was in love with them all holding her while we got to eat meals. I am forever grateful to the lovely ladies working the front desk and restaurant - they made our trip so wonderful. Speaking of the meals, wow. Breakfast was awesome and has such a great menu that even being there for 8 days, it never got old. We also had dinner and lunch at the restaurant - also so great. The room was perfect and the free laundry service was so helpful with the baby. We even had a pack n play provided by the place to borrow making our travel even easier. We got to surf everyday with the ease of the ocean right down the epic jungle path. We watched monkeys for hours from our balcony, spent afternoons taking our baby in the pool for the first time, and could enjoy air conditioned naps in the hot afternoon. This will be a trip we hold dear forever as it was our first as parents and Olas Verdes will be remembered as the best possible place to spend it. I cannot recommend this place enough and we will be back for sure.

Absolutely perfect for us! Magical location. The town is not too touristy, anything you need is in a walkable distance. Very chill location, not too fancy. We stayed in the surf shack out back and it was our own little affordable studio oasis. 10 out of 10 would stay here every time!

    The location was great, right on the beach and next door to Patos surf school which was the best place to learn to surf! The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was delicious and overall a great hotel!

    Best location ever, we had a balcony with beach view. Even if taking a different room the restaurant is fantastic. There are tables on the beach beneath palm trees, a wonderful place for drinking smoothies amd cocktails. The beach is wide and nearly empty. Good for surfing as well.
