Beautiful resort, we really enjoy the stay, the staff was great 👍 always willing to help and serve, all the rooms of the resort were clean and really comfortable and convenient, the food at the restaurant was excellent, we really have a wonderful time there and was really relaxing.
Great location. Serene and beautiful. Amazing food and grounds. Staff are very professional, kind and willing to go the extra mile to make you comfortable. Enjoyed wonderful evenings by the fire. Comfortable beds, showers and private location
I loved the property. The facilities (pool, spa, garden, restaurant, room) were outstanding.
I will return with my family.
Only minor comment: properly is not for people with limited mobility as it has multiple hills and steps to get to the room and pool.
Thanks a lot for great service.
The staff was great! The amenities were great! I own a maintenance company so it is an area they need to take a look at. Our Spa tub filled VERY slowly and drained even slower. The skylight about the toilet leaked during the rain in room 26. None of these issues would prevent me from going again and I would have stayed longer if I could. However, I have bad pollen allergies and something was bothering me since it is 300 years old and has no A/C I had to leave. LOVED our Stay!
Overall l, was a good stay at the property for my family and I. Some of the pros include the beautiful grounds, the pool and the awesome staff for breakfast and dinner! A few of the cons are that in our room the bathroom area was overrun with ants. The bed wasn’t all that comfy either, and on additional “nit” is that the front desk only allowed for two towels for our room…which was super inconvenient traveling with my spouse and 3 kids. I’m a consultant and have lived in hotels for a good chunk of my career and never experienced this anywhere else (from low tier holiday Inn’s to classier establishments like JW Marriot and Ritz. These small little things can make or break a trip so I hope someone in management reads this and updates their policies accordingly. On that note, even though we weren’t allowed extra towels the front desk staff was kind enough to find an extra rollaway bed for my oldest to sleep in

This is one of the most beautiful properties I've ever stayed at. Every feature and design details were very thoughtful and luxurious. The extensive grounds were well maintained. The pool and spa was the highlight. It was just breathtaking how beautiful it was! Our room was very clean and comfortable. We dined at the hotel both nights that we were there and we had great meals. The view from the restaurant was phenomenal. The staff was fantastic and attentive. I highly recommend Samari resort!
Amazing resort with unbelievable gardens, beautiful rooms, fabulous service and yes, world class spa. We ate breakfast and dinner on property and the food and service were just the best! Sebastian at the front desk and Anita at the spa really were very helpful and professional.
Samari is a wonderful place to stay! Unique, historical buildings, pretty gardens, with excellent staff, food and spa. Everyone was so helping in making our time in Banos special and Dora in reception is the best! They also have a peacock on the property.
Beautiful and peaceful place. Exactly what we need to relax.
The personnel was the best.
The food is good, the “empanadas de viento” is something I recommend everyone to try.
This is such a special place, it felt like a secret paradise. The service was impeccable; our room was clean and spacious. The food in the restaurant was quite good. The spa and pool were so relaxing, we never even made it to the thermal pools we'd come to Banos to see!
