Overview
The Good Life Lodge offers 6 modern and comfortable hotel rooms and a 2-story house. There's a shared outdoor kitchen for all guests, air-conditioning, a cold jacuzzi, wifi and satellite TV's in each room. The Good Life is located a 2 minute walk from Samara beach and a 1 minute walk into town. Since the location is right in the centre of all the action, there will be times when the town is in full swing (particularly during the holidays and certain nights in high season), and there will be music from neighbouring bars and restaurants.

What a lovely little accommodation in Samara, just a few minutes walk to the north side of the beach and very walkable to all the restaurants and bars in town, and just around the corner from the supermarket. The room itself was very clean, comfortable, and AC was amazing. I noted in previous reviews that people had made suggestions about providing breakfast and beach chairs, and they have now included a few breakfast options (pancakes were great!) and they provide beach chairs and towels for guests to use, so it's great to see they are always working on improving their guests experience. The outside is beautiful, with a lounger for each room, a pool, a nice sitting area in the front and back, and a small kitchen with some standard kitchenware to make snacks/basic meals. We stayed for 5 nights and found it to be great value for money though it was during the off season. Would 100% come back again!

“Was a cozy little oasis in Samara”
Great location, intimate size (not a big hotel), outdoor kitchen area was great for getting coffee in the am and preparing snacks, splash pool for cooling feet. The ladies already trying hard to improve all the time, which means it will be even better when we return some day.

“Little Gem!”
Everything about this place was amazing. Steps away from the beach, restaurants, coffee, and ice cream. The staff were amazing and overly nice, they even made my wife a special breakfast when she be-friended them. Felt safe and well taken care of the whole time. We will be returning again!

“Good choice for Sámara Beach :)”
Very conveniently located in town and within walking distance to everything! The whole room was very clean and there was lots of space. Lovely welcome and greeting from the owner, with a bonus cold beer :) the AC was also a welcome relief!

Gorgeous place for a few days at Samara! Conveniently located a few minutes walk from the beach and off the main road from the shops. The room was very comfortable, beautifully furnished and spacious. Excellent big shower and kitchen facilities in the shared space. We also loved the jacuzzi pool for a cool down or after dark dip! We’d definitely stay again and the hosts were great too!
