I have a daughter in college in an exchange program for Spanish and the last week they went to school at Samara Beach so I booked a room for my 15 year old son and myself at the Fenix Hotel. We rented a car in San Joes, and drove the 5 hours to the beach…It took a couple of turns... more

I would definitely recommend this hotel. We stayed nine nights with three kids under the age of 10, very safe in and out of water. Simple rooms with friendly staff. We had fresh fruit, seafood and baked goods brought to our door daily. We'd definitely stay there again. The only down side is the 10 - 15 minute walk to... more

Phyllis and Bill came to our rescue when the atmosphere at Laz Divaz became untolerable. We took our luggage down the beach and to the Fenix and were welcomed with open arms;a large suite with kitchen and separate bathroom/shower; a very comfy bed, no bugs anywhere! There is even a pristine pool; free boogieboards for the ocean,hammocks, chaise lounges,outdoor shower,(to... more

My husband and I spent a few days at the Fenix on our honeymoon. What a perfect place to relax and unwind. The beach was absolutely gorgeous and the proprietors, Bill and Phyllis were wonderful hosts. During our stay, we found out that the Fenix is actually being converted to a Fractional Ownership property. It didn't take much convincing once... more

We stayed only one night, which was too short, but it was still well worth it. We wanted a quiet sunny beach where we could swim and relax. Eating in was easy in the well stocked kitchenette. Friendly owners and guests. I had read the report about the burglery, but still chose to try it based on our friends' recommendation,... more

We stayed at the Hotel Fenix on the Beach from Feb. 24th to March 4, 2009 and had a wonderful vacation. Phyllis and Bill, our hosts, have been most helpful; at the same time they have been discreet and present. The garden and the beach are particularly inviting and we have spent numerous hours on the beach chairs and hammocks.... more

Our stay at the Fenix was the most enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable vacation ever. Tucked away at the "quiet" end of the beach, it is almost like you are the only one on the beach. This is really "on the beach", only a few steps from your room to the beach. The rooms are clean, colorful and tastefully decorated set... more

My husband and I were so fortunate to spend the month of February at the Fenix. Bill and Phyllis are the perfect hosts, helpful, kind and upbeat. We have travelled to many places but have never been this excited about going back. The beach is right out of paradise. It was great to meet local people and be able to... more

So often you see advertisements of beautiful beaches with palm trees and you wonder where are those beaches! Often you are disappointed when you get to your destination because the beach doesn't look anything like the photo in the travel brochure. Well, Fenix Hotel will not dissapoint. We totally enjoyed our stay there for several reasons: The beach is truly... more
