The apartment was located in a great spot. Easy access to beach and town. Had great views of the Howler Monkey's every day. The pool was perfect for cooling off each day. Apartment was well maintained.

The apartment is very spacious and has all you need for a pleasant stay, very true to the VRBO listing. The pool is an amazing oasis. As many have mentioned, the road noise is the one distracting factor to the property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 9 days here. While it is short drive from the main part of the city, we found the location surprisingly close to the beach with a couple of restaurants we visited several times. One can easiy walk along the beach to other resaurants or pop in the car for a two -three minute drive. The apt is spacious and very attractively decorated. We enjoyed the BBQ and cooking some of our meals here. We also really enjoyed the onsite pool...it is beautiful and so refreshing! The property consists of just two units that are on the second floor of the Wing Nuts Canopy Tour building. Since there are only two units, we enjoyed a lot of privacy and the pool generally to ourselves. The tour activity in the space below was a non issue. Be aware in your planning that this property is located on the main road leading east out of Samara. There is considerable traffic noise during the day time but it significantly declines in the evening. By around 8pm it gets fairly quite and stays that way until 7 ish the next morning. The traffic noise didn't detract from our enjoyment of the property. Overall, the slight remoteness of the property turned out to be a real plus for us. For our morning walks it was easy to get to the beach or to explore some of the nearby secondary roads to get closer to the monkeys and nature. You will find the hosts, Deborah and Peter, to be very kind and responsive.

Everything was as advertised, the apartment is open and spacious, the kitchen is fully equipped so whether you're making a light lunch or a full meal its all there. The pool and Ranchero are amazing. Beach towels, chairs and coolers for the beach, all you need is your swimsuit!

Deborah was a wonderful host, and the property was perfect for us. The property is located near a quieter section of Playa Samara, about 10 minutes walk on the beach from the main town. There is a small village across the road, between the property and beach, with a pescaderia (great place to pick up fresh seafood to prepare back the apartment), a small convenience store, and beachfront restaurant. Even at Christmas and New Years the area is not overrun with tourists. The apartment itself is comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen (blender for fresh fruit smoothies), strong air-conditioning, comfortable furnishings, showers with good pressure and hot water, and plenty of lounging spaces. We prepared most of our meals, and the kitchen (and barbecue) were perfect for that. The property is well taken care of and was perfectly clean on our arrival. The pool is wonderful, with options throughout the day for shade or sun. There's a lime tree by the pool, from which we occasionally gathered fresh limes. Even when other guests were using the pool it felt like a private oasis. Deborah was a great host. She accommodated our early check-in request, enquired with us mid-stay to ensure that everything was well. A plumbing issue was resolved immediately. The only thing I would note is that the property is likely not suitable for persons with mobility issues, as there are exterior and interior stairs. Traffic noise was tolerable during the day, and traffic was quiet at night.

We had an amazing time!! The place is very close to the beach and plus we had the pool all to ourselves! Many excellent restaurants on the beach and in town. Amazing people and amazing places! Deborah, the owner is extremely nice! We had problems with our ac and it was fix the next day. Great communication! We'll be back for sure! Thank you! Ginette & Marc

We had a great time in Mardelindo#1 Deborah was very responsive to any questions that we had and our unit was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The beach was a short walk away, town was approximately a 15-20 minute walk. As others have mentioned the traffic in front of the building can be loud at times but it usually quieted down by 9-10 pm. We would gladly return.

Apartment was spacious and clean. Well equipped and good location. Pool was perfect or a short walk to beach. We had a great restful vacation here.
