Samay Lagoon Lodge, is certainly a special place, where you can feel completely at peace with nature and the surroundings. Wake up to the chirping of birds in the morning, watch the peaceful sunrise, by the ocean, indulge in the local food and drinks or walk the black sanded beach. Enjoy the exciting walk in the rain forest and quiet canoe rides through the lagoons. Watch the nocturnal wildlife and the plethora of stars(on a clear night), on the canoe ride at night. If you are seeking a truly relaxing and heavenly experience, hosted by warm and friendly folks, then Samay Lodge, is all of it and more !! "
