Samaayaa

Samaaya is very well-located in the midst of tall trees, with a jungle behind and the Arambol Beach at a mere 2-3 minute walking distance. We reached at 9. 30 am because of an early flight and the manager provided us an early check in by 11. The road towards the beach is a wonderful market, apt for shopping and picking up memoirs. Bike/car rentals are close-by and reasonably priced. We had a 3 year old kid with us, so it was convenient to go the beach and play and get back to the Samaayaa room in 3 minutes. Arambol Beach is clean, quiet, mostly frequented by foreigners. On both nights of our stay we dined at the Beach with a splendid candle-light experience. The Samaaya cafe serves a wonderful variety of complimentary breakfast options. Their meal menu is also good and food quality is up to the mark. Only feedback is they can improve the cafe maintenance a bit. Overall, we had a relaxing, peaceful and memorable stay. Highly recommended for a repeat visit as well.

I visited this Samaayaa, although the name says it's a resort it has everything a resort has but in small portions, like small but clean swimming pool and a small kids play area. Cottages are new, well built but small. Front desk staff is not at power with resort. Service is fast and staff is helpful. They have their own parking space, its a bit difficult to climb the steep incline to the parking though. Food is awesome from Samayya cafe. I specially loved the kanshuka in breakfast. Very near to beach, only 5 minutes walking. All in all for the price less, it is the best value for your money you could get in comfortable area.

Small but beautifully appointed cottages. Courteous staff. Clean pool, ample parking. One small problem is with the narrow lane through which we have to access the resort. On our day of arrival that lane was parked by taxis and bikes and it took us quite a bit of time and effort to enter the resort. May be a security or attendant can be placed at that site with resort uniform to guide and help the tourists. Apart from that small glitch everything else was up-to the expectation. Will come again.

Nice quaint property with wooden chalets. Quite peaceful and located close to the Beach. Owners presence most of the time helps. Others need to be trained better in etiquette. Rooms were neat and clean however the size of rooms could have been slightly larger. Didn't like the food quality/hygiene in the restaurant and had to each time drive down to other places for food. The last stretch of Road is unpaved and can become slushy during rains. Overall rating good and is recommended

The cottages are quite well maintained. Staff is courteous and shows interest to customer needs and also attends to it on priority. Food served is good and there were 8 options to choose from in breakfast. Cottages feel small and could have been a little more roomier. 2. Swimming pool is also too small. No play area for kids So, overall I would say a good stay for a family looking to spend sometime together away from the hustle and bustle from our daily lives.

It's definitely a pocket & couple friendly resort, cozy rooms, and comfortable beds. So clean and properly maintained property. We have enjoyed at pool alot and food services at the restaurant are also up to the mark. Arambol being the silent, less crowded and soothing beach we had a great time staying at SAMAAYA. Helpdesk guy “Raj” has helped us alot and provided everything we needed during our stay. Beach is at walking distance. Must recommend for couples.

Very beautiful rooms and amazing service! The food is amazing and one should try the Kalamari! The Samaayaa is situated a little inside however it's fine. The Samaayaa should be a little stricter with regards to the surroundings. I had to wait with my car for almost 30 minutes as the neighbors had dumped heaps of sand and nobody could do anything about it. Apart from that, everything was amazing!

Staff 5/5: Mostly all the staff member were helpful including restaurant ones. Stay 4/5: Overall stay was good, only problem will be access to transportation as this Samaayaa is away from crowd, full mind peace. Rooms 4/5: Same as shown in images, if you love cottages this is your place. Food 5/5: From breakfast to dinner they offer tastes mind-blowing, you have many options to select from.

It is one of the best properties at Arambol at a very affordable price. There is no restrictions or any intervention of staff for playing music or enjoying at the pool.

Loved the entire place, location and room. Great place to live in

It's vary nice and awesome ambiance

Good location, located near the Beach. Food at the restaurant was good as well. Staff is quite helpful in arranging conveyance, etc. Overall, value for money. Good to stay with family and kids.

It is very near to beach. There is no direct beach view but it is surrounded with dense trees so it is very peaceful. This place is ideal for family stay. Complementary breakfast was too good.

Yeah it is simply amazing and I wonder after seeing the cottages, food is also very good, I prefer Samaayaa if you would like to stay at Arambol.

Location is stone's throw away from the beach. The cottages are clean and cozy although the resort is a bit small. Hassle free check in and check out. All in all a good experience.

Beautiful houses near to the Beach breakfast was good too

Stayed there for the week. They have good cottages. Staff was really helpful. Overall good stay.

Homely and peaceful environment

Supportive staff and great food

Lovely property small though but really nice rooms. Could have a lil spacious and lil more professional but they pull it off still or jetty handsomely.
