Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was fantastic and you could not beat the location. Pool was perfect. The only downside was the street noise. You could hear all the vehicles (we were on the main floor). Not a deal breaker for sure!

This place was such a nice treat after a really long string of bad days. From the moment i was greated by the front desk I just felt weight lifted and I was able to relax. The bed was incredible, the property was beautiful and they even helped me park my boat in the parking lot which was greatly appreciated. I was so sad I wasnt able to stay more than one night.

The room was spotless and newly refurbished. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. Very walkable to beach, restaurants and stores. We didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel but they were bustling everyday of our stay. The only disappointment were the pools which were surrounded by white rocks instead of cement making them not very inviting to spend time at. Of course we were there for the beach which was beautiful!

Friendly, accommodating staff was the highlight. Bed was a little too firm for a comfortable night sleep, and a malfunctioning lock caused some stress before we helped the staff figure out alternative access to the room. I’d consider going back just because of how nice the staff was, the good location, and nice pool, but my experience fell a little short of 5 stars.

I liked the reception spoke pretty good English and were very personable and the hotel is a relatively easy walk down to the beach about 5 minutes away. They are next door to a great place to hire an ATV or tour. Even in low season we found multiple restaurants to est at within easy walking distance.

Giada is a beautiful property, just up the street from the beach in Samara. The flowers and landscaping are amazing, really surprised my wife and I how nice it was. Staff is very friendly (Karina is a sweetheart!). Rooms small and simple, with a nice balcony. Can't beat the price either. We would stay here again.
