From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Tim and the team with a refreshing hibiscus welcome drink, and handmade bracelet made by one of their housekeepers such a heartfelt gesture we won’t forget which added a thoughtful touch to our experience. They took the time to show us around and explain everything clearly, which made us feel right at home. The space itself is beautifully designed, clean, and full of character. Breakfast had limited options, and while the quality is really good, the flavors were a bit on the mild side. Still, the overall experience was lovely, peaceful, well run, and full of heart.
If you want to experience luxury in budget, then Samava Living is should be your go to. We are booked our stay through Agoda- almost got scammed but the hotel supported us in all the ways possible, giving us options and taking care of us to the last minute. This place is closer to the center and has quick access to the beach and closer areas through their buggy service- which is free. Food is good and tasty but limited if you have a selective palette. I loved the breakfast very much but again limited and restricted menu for all days- this can be modified for better customer experience. Rooms were perfect and pretty huge. Our room had an outdoor seating area which was a good chill option if your are at the hotel. Additionally it also has a Pool which is good and big enough. Overall a good, luxurious but budget friendly option if your in Paje.
Fantastic location and lovely spacious rooms. Only downside was the outdoor shower with no option to shower indoors. If you are used to staying in 5 star hotels this may not meet your standards as service is agonisingly slow. The staff themselves are lovely but tend to move at a snails pace when asking for something.
