Eden Tropical Retreat

Absolutely beautiful place. We had everything we needed. It truly was a little piece of paradise, tucked away in the jungle. It was only a 5 minute drive to the beach or to town. I would absolutely stay here again and again. It comfortably fit our family of 5. I LOVED being there.

Louis and Jesus were attentive. If we had a “problem” neither hesitated to take care of it. We didn’t know how to use the coffee maker-was the problem. lol. I came with pain from colitis. Jesus cooked fish, vegetables and chicken soup for me which was easy to digest!!! It was incredibly private! Except for the monkeys in the trees and bird! What a special place to be!Had shade and sun! We used the yoga Shala and had a private class. Kelly was a suggestion and she was as professional as they come! We used the gym! Which was very sufficient. We even had a massage there. Wendy who was suggested to us was intuitive and sensitive to our physical needs in these 63 year old bodies! I’d go back again!

We had a truly exceptional stay at Eden. My wife and I were able to completely switch off and settle into the calm atmosphere right away—it’s one of those rare places where you feel at ease from the first moment. Mornings on the veranda and afternoons by the pool overlooking the jungle quickly became our rhythm. The setting naturally slows you down and invites you to be present. After more than two years of traveling the world as a professional drone pilot, this is one of the most special places we’ve experienced. What stood out was the attention to detail—from the kitchen and living areas to the outdoor spaces with multiple seating options. Everything feels refined without being overdone. The bright gym and the spacious yoga shala were perfect additions for workouts and quiet moments. A heartfelt thank you to the Eden team as well—everything was seamless and well organized, with great communication throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

Quite simply the best Airbnb we’ve EVER stayed in. It’s heaven. Perfectly designed. If possible, it’s even more stunning than the photos. The living area is a dream, the bedrooms lovely, the outdoor kitchen nicer and better equipped than most main kitchens. The pool area is another level. We spent every morning sat on the balcony, sipping coffee and watching the Howler Monkeys. Natasha and Louis are amazing hosts. As you can tell from the photographs, they care about details. And they were so lovely and responsive - we felt really looked after. The real gem is Jesus, who lives on the grounds. He cooked us a local breakfast most days, helped us tidy ( we have two young kids) and even offered to help prepare dinner. Locally there is so much to do. We did a couple of horse rides along an empty beach at sunrise, and our 5 year old learnt to surf. There are some great restaurants in town too. But you can’t beat buying food from the local shops and cooking in the spectacular outdoor kitchen.

We leave won over. This house in the jungle is a true haven of peace: surrounded by nature and animals, in absolute calm, without a sound. And yet, Samara and its beaches are less than 10 minutes away, so everything remains very accessible. The accommodation is impeccable, perfectly functional, and extremely well equipped: indoor and outdoor kitchens, two blenders, an air fryer, a barbecue, and everything you need to cook with ease. The bedding is also of high quality. The on-site caretaker is lovely, very helpful when needed, and maintains both the house and the exterior with impeccable care. Louis was also very helpful, both in terms of welcoming us and recommending activities, as well as arranging yoga and in-home massages. The gym and the yoga shala are a real plus. Nothing to complain about, except that we would already like to come back.

A beautiful place with lovely, attentive people... we'll be back!
