The hotel was beautiful and very relaxing. The staff were extremely helpful and our check in and early arrival was accommodated with a relaxing drink by the pool and a swim in the wonderful pool. The Hotel grounds are beautiful.

Luis was very nice. Great place overall.
Oliver, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a decent option for staying in/near Samara. Bear in mind it is a five-six minute drive to town/main beach stretch. The staff were excellent, particularly Loydes, who was so genuine and helpful. The pool is great for kids. Bathroom was a bit dated and moldy unfortunately. Included breakfast was nice and appreciated.

I stayed at this property in November 2024. Mario, the owner is friendly and accommodating. All the staff were beyond amazing. Cute little boutique hotel. Loved it. Can’t say anything negative about it.

The property is clean and very quiet. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The manager Luis, was a pleasure to talk with. Good breakfast, pool was a good option when we got tired of the ocean.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice property with friendly staff and excellent pool. We were not affected on the north side of the first floor but could see how some rooms on the 2nd floor on the south side could be bothered by road noise.
Gregory H, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Montelaguna was a really perfect stay for us in the Samara area. It was perfectly situated between Playa Carrillo and Playa Samara so we were able to enjoy both beaches easily. The staff were always ready and kindly booked tours, accommodated special requests and were just a pleasure to deal with day to day. The housekeeping was prompt and thorough as well. We would stay here again no question.

Gorgeous pool, delicious Italian food and wine and lovely staff. Zenia and crew went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. We’ll be back !!!

Loved It!!

This place was amazing from the second we arrived. Staff person checking us in was polite, accommodating and made you feel like you were best friends. Because it’s a smaller hotel, we got to know all of the staff and they couldn’t have been nicer people! On site parking was easy. Location was quiet except for some road noise. Walking to Playa Samara beach was convenient and took less than 10 minutes down a dirt road. Room was large with a separate foyer area that had a sink and mini fridge. Pool is nice. Breakfast was good as were the drinks. We did not eat lunch or dinner so can’t comment on that. Three minute drive to Playa Carrillo - which is an amazing beach. Seven minute drive to downtown Samara. Nothing negative to say about this place - check it out!

Wonderful Hotel

This was our second stay at this hotel and it was just as we remembered. Friendly, helpful staff. Walking distance to two beautiful beaches and a quiet, peaceful setting. The rooms are large but sparse. The staff was prompt in getting whatever we requested. They even made decaf coffee especially for me in the mornings! The only thing I could say for me personally and maybe for others is the cleaner used to wash the floors in the rooms was too strongly scented and lingered in the room. We will definitely be returning for another wonderful stay. Thank you
