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.

- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 987 reviewsWe had a room with a separate bedroom and a kitchen, bed was comfortable, good hot water and pressure in the shower, we couldn't get the hot plate to work but there was an electric frying pan so no problem. The pool was really good with lots of chairs and umbrellas. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and the hotel has chairs and umbrellas to use free of charge. We didn't have their breakfast we made our own, there was salt, pepper, cooking oil, coffee and a coffee maker. We had parking. Great value hotel!CameronYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: $52.887.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 257 reviewsThe most INCREDIBLE hostel and place to stay on the Pacific Coast. The new owners are amazing, the staff is friendly and warm, and Liz and Nico were especially helpful in making sure my stay was as fun and comfortable as possible. I stayed in the Jungle Dorm as a solo female traveler for 2 weeks and wish I could have stayed even longer. While there are limited amenities, this is the place go for making friends, having fun, and just generally partaking in the best vibes in Samara Beach.MeiraSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $100.579.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 734 reviewsFriendly and welcoming staff, including one of the hotel's owners, our room was small but recently renovated. The hotel's location is hard to beat, a bit off the village hence very calm but a 10 min walk along the beach if you fancy "downtown" Samara. The beach bar is great, feet in the sand while you sip your drink or beer. Very good restaurant too. In a nutshell, highly recommended.
ElisabethYoung couple - 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 272 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.
LiezeGroup - 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 127 reviewsThe staff was incredible! Carolina, Mateo and Javier made us feel so welcome.
