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...
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.

- From $123.34 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 548 reviewsWe felt right at home in this family run hotel. The customer service was fantastic. Very attentive service, great communication and flexibility. The rooms were spacious, equipped with attention to detail (e.g. umbrellas for the rainy season), each with a separate terrace where the excellent breakfast was served. Access to the beach with a good variety of bars and restaurants is less than 5 minutes walk. And the rates were very reasonable. Overall the best choice in Samara.AAnonymousSwitzerland
- From $55 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 219 reviewsLovely, small Costa Rican family-owned hotel which is perfect for the casual traveller who wants a very friendly and non-American, in-county experience. Only 2 blocks from marvelous Samara beach! Comes with excellent breakfast, a lot of opportunity to speak Spanish and experience local pure vida and food. We celebrated New Year's Eve there with an EXCELLENT seafood dinner, with live music by the staff. Very fun, relaxing and mellow. Would definitely go back.KristenUnited States of America
- From $108.05 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 169 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.
MatthiasGermany - 9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 149 reviewsThe place is amazing and peaceful. It is calm, safe, very clean and the rooms are big - especially the bathroom with hot shower was really comfortable (extraordinary for Costa Rica). Federica and Roborto are super friendly and open to give advice about the surrounding area. Also I would like to mention the great really special breakfast and the yoga classes in the morning! Everyone that stays in Samara should visit this great hotel.EgliSwitzerland

- From $123.34 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 548 reviewsI've been to Costa Rica 5+ times and this is the best place that I've stayed! Super modern and stylish, very clean, comfy bed, cold air conditioning (which is important for me). The location is perfect. Staff were so nice and willing to help with any question or recommendation. Waking up to a healthy breakfast with fresh coffee on our patio was an extra bonus! Just do yourself a favor and book your stay here.
JohnUnited States of America - From $73.45 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 593 reviewsIt was an amazing experience, with the hotel being located in the middle of Samara and really close (walking distance) to the beach! The rooms with the garden view were nice and spacious with a king sized bed and a adequately sized bathroom. The pool areas were also amazing with two pools and a beautiful landscape and garden. The balconies overlooked the yard and had a table with chairs to enjoy the atmosphere.KarinSwitzerland
- From $101.70 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 461 reviewsCasa 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.
GertEBelgium - From $79.10 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 994 reviewsI had booked a week in their cheapest room, which was small, but still totally fine. After two days, they upgraded me to a bigger and much better room. The standard was great, and for the first time after three weeks in many different hotels in Costa Rica, I had both hot water and pressure in the shower. The bed was very comfortable, and the blanket was the smoothest ever. The staff was very helpful.MarianneNorway
