The Hideaway Hotel

Generally praised as clean (pool and rooms); minor issues noted such as a slightly dated bathroom and occasional missing hand soap.

Consistently highlighted as excellent — staff repeatedly described as very friendly, helpful and welcoming across multiple reviews.

Excellent location: short walk to Playa Carrillo, quiet, close to nature (monkeys seen), slightly removed from Samará but considered a strong asset.

Rooms often described as spacious, comfortable with good air conditioning; some mentions that bathrooms could use an update.

Good amenities like a clean pool and beach access, but some negatives: no beach loungers, limited parking, no EV charging points, occasional noisy pool motor or onsite construction.

Mixed: overall experience seen as very positive, but several guests found the restaurant/food expensive or portions small, reducing perceived value.

Breakfast generally praised (tasty) but sometimes described as small portions; dinner receives both strong praise and complaints about quality/price — mixed overall.

Very positive overall: tranquil, nature-rich setting, friendly staff and beach access create a strong experience despite some food/amenity caveats.
