I had a wonderful stay at this historic hotel, with beautiful gardens and amazing artwork throughout the property. The rooms were stunning, filled with Spanish-style furnishings and a lovely bathroom. The dining experience was excellent, although the breakfast could have offered a bit more variety. The spa was a relaxing haven, though I wish the pool area had been more exclusive.

Staying at this resort spa was truly a remarkable experience! The beautifully landscaped grounds, along with the stunning views and extensive facilities, made our visit unforgettable. The spa treatments were top-notch, and we enjoyed wonderful dining at the restaurant. However, some aspects of service could have been smoother, and the weather occasionally affected our enjoyment of the outdoor activities.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with stunning architecture and beautiful mountain views, complemented by excellent service from the staff. The indoor pool and playground were nice touches for families. However, my experience at the spa wasn't ideal due to noise and an underwhelming massage. Overall, while the ambiance was beautiful, certain services need improvement.

I had an incredible stay at Samari, which truly felt like a hidden gem in Banos. The accommodation was stunning with beautiful grounds. The attention from the staff was unmatched, making me feel welcomed at every turn. The dining was exceptional, though I wish I had more time to try everything on the menu.

The service was top-notch throughout our visit, really making us feel pampered. While the spa and dining were of high quality, I did notice that the pool required reservations due to safety measures, which could be a bit inconvenient.
