Very nice little house, comfortable, clean, well planned, with all we needed, and good quality utensils.  On a side road up on a hill, surrounded by tall trees and plants for privacy, while close to town and the beach.  The howlers crossed through the trees, real close, and we were there right after the first rains of the  rainy season, when the big crabs were heading down to the beach - the first night about 3 came up onto the terrace, more the next evening, many the 3rd, and none on the 4th evening - fascinating.  The hosts are very friendly and accomodating.  I recommend staying here.

Great amenities. We made good use of the fridge, oven, and blender. The bathroom is a nice size with an excellent shower. The AC was a life saver as it was HOT! Amazing to sit on the patio in the hammocks and listen and watch the howler monkeys. We were also visited by lizards and freaky late night visits from crabs who scratched the patio glass, which felt on purpose to freak us out! The shared washer and dryer was also amazing to have. Wifi is fast and easy to connect to. Sometimes the units power would go out but never longer than about 5 seconds. The location is down a dirt road from centre of town. Short drive or 20 minute walk. Walk to beach is about 10 minutes. There’s a decent store about 5 minutes away on foot. Parking is available but there’s really only 2 spots for 3 units. A third car needs to park along the dirt driveway. Communication could be better. It sometimes took as long as 2 days to get a response when messaging on the Air BB app. Overall a great stay

We felt totally comfortable at this place. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean. The hosts are very likeable. Our absolute highlight was the terrace, where we spent many hours relaxing and watching the howler monkeys in the trees right in front of us. An incredible experience. They didn't come by every day, but at least we could see them from a distance every day. The way to the property is easy to find. We bought fresh baguettes every day from the nearby boulangerie and, one evening, enjoyed the best pizza at Pizzeria Cos-Ita.

Wir haben uns in dieser Unterkunft total wohlgefühlt. Die Räume sind toll eingerichtet und sauber. Die Gastgeber sind sehr sympathisch. Unser absolutes Highlight war die Terrasse, auf der wir viele Stunden verbrachten und den Brüllaffen beim Entspannen direkt vor uns in den Bäumen zuschauen konnten. Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis. Sie kamen nicht jeden Tag vorbei, doch zumindest aus der Ferne konnten wir sie täglich beobachten. Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist leicht zu finden. Wir kauften täglich in der nahegelegenen Boulangerie frisches Baguette und genossen an einem Abend die beste Pizza in der Pizzeria Cos-Ita.

We enjoyed our stay at the Casa. It was the perfect size for the two of us and the quaint sitting area/patio area was a treat as the howler monkeys constantly visited and rested. Would have been great to have an outdoor fan, but it was a really hot time of year. We liked the privacy and the excellent communication with the hosts. Great location!

We felt very comfortable at this Airbnb. It is excellently equipped (kitchen utensils, sheets, bed linens, board games, hammocks, etc.). Once the car is parked, you can walk to the beach in about 15 minutes, to a convenience store in about 5 minutes, and to the city center in about 20 minutes on foot… in short, it's perfect! The hosts were super welcoming, and the place was spotless. In short, go for it! P.S.: We even woke up to monkeys in the trees!

Nous nous sommes très bien sentis dans ce airbnb. Il est excellemment équipé (ustensiles de cuisine, draps, linge de lit, jeux de société, hamacs etc). Une fois la voiture garée, vous avez accès pieds à la plage en 15 bonnes minutes, environ 5 minutes pour une supérette, une vingtaine de minutes du centre-ville à pied… bref parfait ! Les hôtes ont été super accueillants, le logement était nickel. Bref, foncez ! PS : on s’est même réveillés avec les singes dans les arbres !

listing as described. Dorothée is friendly and responsive.

An amazing stay! We woke up with howler monkeys in the trees right above us! The accommodation is clean and very well-equipped. I highly recommend it!

Un séjour incroyable ! Nous nous sommes réveillé avec des singes hurleurs dans les arbres juste au dessus de nous ! Le logement est propre et très bien équipé. Je recommande fortement !

My friend and I loved staying there! Small, cozy, and conveniently located place. A fully equipped kitchen and even more (oils, spices, etc.). We were lucky enough to see about fifteen monkeys in the trees in our garden! We'd love to recommend this place.

Mon amie et moi avons adoré séjourner là-bas! Petit logement intime et bien situé. Une cuisine complète et même plus (huiles, épices, etc). Nous avons eu la chance de voir une quinzaine de singes dans les arbres dans notre jardin! Nous recommandons cet endroit avec plaisir.

We enjoyed our stay, especially the privacy of the yard.

Right Perfect! The house is lovely and well equipped. Quiet location but close enough to town and beach to walk there. Beautiful private terrace to relax. We loved our stay and hope to come back!

Juste Parfait! La maison est charmante et bien équipée. Emplacement tranquille mais assez près de la ville et de la plage pour y aller à pied. Belle terrasse intime pour relaxer. Nous avons adoré notre séjour et espérons revenir!

We felt very comfortable and were quickly helped with problems. We will be happy to come back!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und bei Problemen wurde schnell geholfen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

my second stay in 2025 & can not wait to visit again. the location is perfect for piece & quiet yet the town is an easy walk. I highly recommend

Beautiful location, private and very quiet. The apartment is very well thought out and has extras that are appreciated, such as a perfectly equipped kitchen.

Hermosa locación, privado y muy tranquilo. El apartamento está muy bien pensado y tiene extras que se agradecen como una cocina perfectamente equipada.

Great place to stay in Samara. A/C works well, house was clean when we arrived, and had plenty of kitchen amenities for us to cook with. We even woke up to a group of Howler Monkeys outside our window the last morning! Absolutely recommend the stay.

Really enjoyed our wein Samara. Dorothe is a great hostess

Beautiful home! We fell in love with the place. The environment was very quiet and the trees offered us a little freshness. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was complete. Easy to get to the beach on foot. Excellent restaurant nearby. We would like to rent again.

Magnifique logement! Nous sommes tombés en amour avec les lieux. L'environnement était très calme et les arbres nous offraient un peu de fraîcheur. Tout était très propre et la cuisine était complète. Facile de se rendre à la plage à pied. Excellent restaurant à proximité. Nous aimerions louer à nouveau.

Ideal location, perfectly equipped premium accommodation. Dorothée and Francois are extremely available, with good advice, warm. In summary, a week in paradise at Casa Fruitas. We highly recommend it. Bernard and Monique

Emplacement ideal ,logement haut de gamme parfaitement équipé. Dorothée et Francois sont extrêmement disponibles,de bons conseils,chaleureux. En résumé une semaine paradisiaque à casa fruitas. On recommande fortement. Bernard et Monique

Everything was perfect. The location and cleanliness of the premises were impeccable. I recommend it and I would return to François and Dorothée's place any time.

Tout était parfait . L'emplacement et la propreté des lieux était impeccable . je recommande et je retournerais n'importe quand dans le logement de François et Dorothée.

We were pleasantly surprised. The furnishings had a high standard, everything was clean and worked.

Wir waren angenehm überrascht. Die Ausstattung hatte einen hohen Standard, alles war sauber und funktionierte.

We had a great stay at Casa Papaya. A small but perfectly formed Airbnb which is perfect for two people, with a great kitchen that is really well equipped. It had absolutely everything that you would need- from a very comfy bed to chairs that you could borrow to take to the beach. It's also great for spotting wildlife, and a short walk to the beach, or to a lovely French bakery for your morning pastries and bread.

Dorothée was very nice to us and very supportive, never intrusive. The apartment is very nice, clean and quiet (as far as human noise is concerned). We could hear the howler monkeys and see coatimundis. A car is recommended here, but it doesn't have to be a four-wheel drive. Overall, highly recommended!

Dorothée war sehr nett zu uns und hat uns sehr unterstützt, dabei nie aufdringlich. Die Wohnung ist sehr schön, sauber und ruhig (was menschlichen Lärm angeht). Wir konnten die Brüllaffen hören und Nasenbären sehen. Ein Auto ist hier empfehlenswert, muss kein Allrad sein. Insgesamt wirklich sehr empfehlenswert!

We stayed at Casa Papaya for a month and it was truly wonderful. Tucked away in the jungle where it peaceful and beautiful, but still close enough to walk to the beach and town. The house had everything we needed and perfect for our month long stay. François and Dorothée are great hosts who responded right away to any questions we had. We loved our stay so much and couldn’t recommend it more!

Incredible hosts, and incredible place! Would be perfect for a couple. The ac from the bedroom worked to cool the kitchen area as well. Fun to see monkeys every morning and evening, and a short walk down a side street to the beach was a bonus.

The place is absolutely fantastic. Very well kept the interior is beautiful everything you need is there Francois is the best host I have ever had I have stayed at several places you will not be disappointed when you stay here

François was amazing and so helpful throughout our stay. Very nice place in a great location!

Casa Papaya was a perfect place to stay for us. It was conveniently located, quiet and very clean and modern. Francois and Dorothee were wonderful hosts and very prompt to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend their wonderful little house. Perfect for two.

The casita Papaya was very comfortable, well equipped (very convenient the washing machine and dryer) and in the middle of nature, 15 minutes' walk from the beach so nothing to complain about! We felt very good there:)  François and Dorothée were very responsive to our requests! We highly recommend it!

La casita Papaya était très confortable, bien équipée (très pratique le lave linge et le sèche linge) et au milieu de la nature, à 15min à pied de la plage donc rien à redire ! On s’y est senti très bien :)  François et Dorothée ont été très réactifs à nos demandes ! On recommande vivement !

We really enjoyed staying here! Very clean, quiet, comfortable space, and friendly hosts. We would stay again!

All the family's lovely welcome! All is within strolling distance if you want to walk during your stay! very nice beach close by!

Bel acceuil de toute la famille! Tout est à distance de marche si vous voulez marcher durant votre séjour! tTrès belle plage à proximité !

Enjoyed our stay, relaxing just outside town and quiet (except for the monkeys).  Unit as described, small but sufficient.  Great AC unit

Wonderful place within walkable distance to town and the main beach. The apartment is situated on a hill and looks out into the jungle where you're likely to see various wildlife (I had howler monkeys, a family of raccoons and even an armadillo pass by!). The kitchen is well stocked and the A/C was a life saver. I loved the outside patio area as well. Would stay here again!

Great place, had a great time, thanks for receiving my two dogs

Absolutely amazing apartment, very well equipped and clean. The surrounding environment is beautiful and private. Very short drive to the centre of town. 100% recommended!

What a delightful place! I was worried because as a typical gringo  I was wanting AC. It wasn't listed in the description, but it has AC in the bedroom. You may not need it as there's lots of shade and the patio area is delightful. François and Dorothée may be French, but they embody the "pura vida" spirit.

Beautiful new cottage, terrace, washing machine, walking distance to the village and beach.

Schönes neues Häuschen, Terrasse, Waschmaschine, Gehdistanz zum Dorf und Strand.

Brand new accommodation, very well thought out, quiet, comfortable, in the shade of large trees in which the howler monkeys pass every day, which adds to the charm of the place. Friendly and discreet welcome from François and Dorothée.  A very good stay!

Logement tout neuf, très bien pensé, au calme, confortable, à l'ombre de grands arbres dans lesquels passent tous les jours des singes hurleurs, ce qui rajoute au charme du lieu. Accueil sympathique et discret de François et Dorothée.  Un très bon séjour!

The apartment is brand new and very nicely furnished with attention to detail. It was very clean and comfortable and nothing was missing. You have enough privacy on the large terrace and you could see the monkeys in the trees from there. The fans in each room worked well and there are curtains and mosquito nets on the windows. The kitchen is very well equipped, everything you need to cook. The bathroom is modern with a spacious shower. We were greeted very hospitably and got fresh fruit. The hosts were always easy to reach! We had a rental car but the beach and restaurants are within walking distance. It was a nice starting point to explore the surrounding area!

This place so georgeous and perfect! The house has a beautiful design and you can tell the owners put a lot of love and effort into it. We loved the comfortable beds, big soft towels, well equiped kitchen, walk in closet and all the nice details. We especially liked the big sliding doors to the patio, from where you can see and hear monkeys all the time! With a beautiful view all around. Totally recommended. :)
