Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach.
Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach. There are many other beaches nearby. It has quite a few restaurants and cafes to choose from. Lots of great fish. Prices are "reasonable" by comparison with some fancier locations along the coast, but all prices in US dollars are high for Canadians. Just two hours from Liberia airport, this town has a laid back feel. Not sure how long that will last.

Samara is a funky little beach town with lots of little eateries and shops, and a number of restaurants right on the beach undercover with enough variety to make it interesting. There were also enough activities and beaches in the area to enjoy.ChristaCanada - 10Scored 10

This is a great little town with a beautiful beach and yummy food options. We wish we could have spent more time here to explore the different restaurants a bit more. We hope to come back soon! We also really enjoyed the neighboring beach of Carrillo, which we drove to - but it didn't have food options the way Samara did.LuanUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

A wonderful walkable town with many restaurants, excellent couple massages, friendly community, and beautiful beaches. I did the Warner preserve tour with a native Samarian - he was EXCELLENT - a fantastic visit. My husband and I are thinking about coming back and staying much longer. The community seems very low key - just the right pace for us :)BuschUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
Very easy to get around.
Very easy to get around. Everything is close and you feel safe walking there. Very friendly local people. I would recommend checking out the restaurants Las Olas, AhoraSi, Mana, Malehu coffee shop, L'Ulvio, and the Saturday local market.

The beach and ocean are beautiful.
The beach and ocean are beautiful. There are lots of restaurants and fun bars to have a drink. The city government has to work harder at keeping the town clean. Sidewalks, store fronts and some restaurants need to be improved, there were so many flies at one of the restaurants where we ate, that we ended up having to leave. There is very limited parking, there should be a place where excursion buses can park further away from town, it feels chaotic.

- 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 797 reviewsI had a wonderful stay at Tico Adventure Lodge. The staff is super friendly and helpful. My room was very clean and had a great balcony to relax. The bathroom facilities were quite new and there was even warm water, which is not common in many other places in Costa Rica. The property is very special with lots of trees, a little pool and a great open communal kitchen/dining area with free coffee every morning. The location is geat - very central, a short walk from the beach and the town's center with lots of different dining andPetraSwitzerland

She’s has created a little slice of heaven up on the top of a mountain. Yes you will def need a 4x4 and the roads are very ‘Costa rican’ but what awaits is truly worth it. The food - from breakfast to the dinner options were really nice. Laura went out of her way to help us with her onward travel and we can’t thank her enough. There is also 3 lovely friendly dogs, 2 cats and a pig called Brad Pig. What more could you really ask for…
SamUnited Kingdom - From $132.05 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 175 reviewsThe hut is owned by a person of European descent which may be the reason why the usual drawbacks of accommodations in Costa Rica were absent here: There were no loose water taps, non-functional power outlets or the like; everything was well maintained and selected with a great love for details. The hut is best equipped, cozy and in the middle of the jungle. The other reviewers did not exaggerate: You really can watch the monkeys while doing the dishes.

- From $129.95 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 274 reviewsThis place is absolutely worth it in terms of value for money! Samara has been the most authentic place of our Costa Rica trip, and that’s mostly thanks to our stay at El Pequeño Gecko Verde! Houses are authentic and very clean, breakfast is superb, location is a bit further away from Samara’s main Center but definitely doable and therefore also more quiet.
