Casa Banana

We stayed at Casa Banana for 5 nights. It's a great location. In the jungle but very close to two different beaches and downtown Samara. The highlight of our stay watching howler monkeys and eating outside in the banana hut. The house is lovely. It has everything needed and Dorothée is a very generous and responsive host. Samara is such a funky cool town. Highly recommend.

My family and I stayed at Casa Banana for a month. It is a dreamy jungle oasis surrounded with howler monkeys and other critters including an occasional Coati sighting. The living space glass doors slide into a pocket in the wall so the inside and outside are one. The kitchen has plenty of utensils and cookware for an extended stay. Coffee and spices etc were provided. There is a dedicated work space upstairs although the internet connection upstairs is spotty. It was better closer to the router. The location is ideal. It is a 0.6 mile walk from the nearest beach. We ended up renting a golf cart so we could get around more easily but also spent a lot of days walking to the beach. We enjoyed the weekly farmer's market on Saturdays and enjoyed the hike to Playa Izquierda where we spotted an anteater and floated in some tide pools. Our host was very responsive and helpful. She answered all of my questions about the area and provided weekly cleaning services for longer stays.

A very nice house with great amenities. There were a lot of spices, tea and coffee there, so you could cook easily. The house has been very tastefully designed and beautifully renovated. Questions were answered promptly. We felt very comfortable and would definitely come back.

Beautiful modernist home minutes from the beach by car. Host was Friendly and responsive. Really wonderful experience.

The place was very nice - loved to be able to open the big door and have the open air in the house. The AC in the bedrooms worked great. We heard howler monkeys every day and that was very cool. It was our first time using a french press coffee maker and we loved it. Beautiful setting. Responsive and helpful host. Kitchen was very well stocked. I would definitely recommend this place and the host.

Great place! Peaceful and lovely surroundings

Very nice, in style, clean, fully equipped and quiet/calm place. Walking distance to Samara beach (10 mins) and to the town following the beach (another 10- 15 mins). Excellent communication with the hosts who are very reactive. Parking a bit tight though, but still plenty of space next to the parking area. We are a family of four and the place was a very good choice for us overall. As a an added plus you may see a coatie roaming on the terrace.

Incredible!!!

Beautiful place in the middle of the green! The monkeys in the trees can be seen from the bed in the morning 🫶🏼🌴 And it is not far to the beach. It was a lovely 4nights!

We greatly enjoyed our time in 'banana' house. What a lovely house it is! Super modern, stylish, every detail is accurate, you may find it was designed with a lot of love. That will make your stay even more enjoyable. In addition, the hosts are environmentally conscious, which I find a plus. The kitchen is fully furnished, nice that there is also some coffee or herbs. Both bathrooms are nice and equipped with everything you need. The presence of a washing machine is also nice (shared, in a separate room, with the apartments next to you). The terrace is pleasant, in the shade and there is a lot to see. We have seen howler monkeys pass by, a nose bear and different birds. It is less than 10 minutes walking from a beach, and about 10 minutes walking to the center of Samara. 3 minutes from the apartment is a small supermarket. Good wifi, nice beds, very pleasant contact with the hosts. Value excellent (we were pleasantly surprised!).
