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.

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.

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 :)

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.
This stay was perfect! If you are looking for being in touch with Costa Rica’s wonderful nature then this is the place for you! Celine was the nicest and made sure everything was good for us. The tent is surprisingly comfortable, with very very little insects. However, if you do not like being around animals of if tiny bugs bother you it’s not worth to come and then complain :) just know what to expect and enjoy the wonderful shade under the florest trees, with families of monkeys and coatis walking around
Laura is a brilliant host and the location is stunning. 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…
The location was excellent, five minute walk to one of the nicest beach’s in Costa Rica. we stayed in the “Bungalow” which was a stand alone unit with full fridge and stove, we did not make us of the stove as there are a few great restaurants within a few minutes walk. there are also two small “grocery” stores close by. the breakfast that Millie served each morning was excellent, 4 or 5 different options, I think I had them all! we would not hesitate to stay here again!
Cozy hostel in a great location in the centre of Sámara and close to the beach, and within walking distance to everywhere else you might need. Very nice staff and clean and comfortable rooms, big and well equipped communal kitchen and a nice seating space. Fast WiFi and a typical Costa Rican soda restaurant attached to the hostel complete the services. There's also a laundry service but I didn't actually need to use it so cannot comment on speed/quality of that.
Casa Buenavista is a beautiful, well-organized, clean, stylish and very chill bed&breakfast, located on just a 10min walking distance of the most beautiful beach of Costa Rica, Carillo Beach. The hosts have done their utmost best to make this place a little paradise... at a paradise beach. Beware, the breakfast is huge, and although based on the typical gallo pinto, the variations will make you happy.
The restaurant is amazing, lovely setting under the huge tree canopy, the staff are delightful, the food was amazing. You have free beach beds and cushions included in your stay. The beach is one of the best beaches we visited so far up the west coast of Costa Rica. Perfect waves for jumping! Great places to eat and have a drink down the beach and the town of Samara is really lovely. Lovely people.
By far, our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica! A perfect oasis, a true garden of eden. Not only were the grounds kept perfectly and the bungalows gorgeous, but Emma and her sweet family made it feel like home. The pool area was also so wonderful and peaceful, lots of cozy little nooks to chill out in and birds and iguanas everywhere. If I could give it 6 stars I would! Highly recommend!!!
Very well maintained facility. Pool was a little oasis surrounded by well maintained vegetation providing a lush and private environment. Samara is small community with a nice vibe and the hotel is a short walk to the beach, restaurants and downtown. Beach chairs and umbrellas were provided for guest use which was very nice!
The location was good. You could walk everywhere in town, but it was on a quiet street so no noise at night. The water pressure in the shower was great. The breakfast was decent, with eggs, fruit and toast. You could also choose to have a traditional Costa Rican breakfast instead.
Great location, outstanding service, very clean and comfortable. The hotel is close to the beach and many fine restaurants. Bridgette provided us with a map outlining all of Samaras offerings. We really enjoyed the hotel and the suggested restaurants.
The hôtel was very clean, good location not far from the beach , breakfast was super good that was a plus. The room is a bit small but we made it work with are luggage. The mattress was hard for me. Security guard all night, private parking
One of the best hostels I stayed in Costa Rica. Great location, Value for Price and one of the best, well stocked kitchens out of the dozens of hostels I visited in Costa Rica. Very helpful and friendly staff.
The staff is very friendly and always ready to help you. The food is excellent and at reasonable price. Confortable beach chairs. The hotel location is quiete and close to Samara city center.
Lovely hosts, good location on the edge of Samara and an easy walk to the beach and local area. The pool was a refreshing treat, gardens beautiful and a really pretty hotel.
