Blue Iguana, hotel in Sámara

Set in Samara just a one-minute walk from the beach, Blue Iguana features a swimming pool and on-site award-winning Asian Sushi restaurant.

Rooms dirty, security is a 10 cent latch, restaurant is lousy. Very hot - fan was too small and too weak. Pool and bar both good. Rooms cheap, but certainly get no more than you pay for.

Samara Palm Lodge, hotel in Sámara

Samara Palm Lodge is situated on the edge of the small village of Playa Sámara. The beach as well as in the centre of Sámara are 5 minutes away.

Samara Palm Lodge in Playa Samara, Costa Rica, is a charming small-scale hotel that offers a delightful stay for its guests. The lodge is tastefully decorated, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. One of the highlights of the property is its lovely swimming pool, surrounded by a beautiful inner garden, which offers a peaceful retreat for relaxation. Additionally, I liked the convenience.

Quiet neighborhood, baked onto a field with farm animals. Lovely pool, which was very welcome with the hot temperature outside. Close walk to town or to the beach. There was several grocery stores in the area. "Soda's" were are favorite eating places. There was a great variety offering local dishes and gelanti. The manager was very helpful.

The Hideaway Hotel, hotel in Sámara

Offering an outdoor swimming pool and an on-site restaurant, The Hideaway Hotel is located just 100 metres from the beach and 10 minutes' drive from Sámara City Centre.

The accommodation was clean and the room had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and the room was only a short walk from the pool and restaurant. Breakfast was delicious. A plate of fresh fruit with coffee, followed by a choice of cooked breakfasts was sufficient to keep us going. The staff were lovely, always smiling and happy to help with anything. The restaurant served delicious meals using locally caught fish and the brownie is the best we have tasted. The hotel sits between 2 lovely beaches that are easy to access and don't get crowded. There is a lot of wildlife around and the hotel is visited regularly by howler monkeys, motmots and iguanas. The hotel is a nice distance from Samara to avoid the hustle and bustle but near enough to walk into the town for a meal or shopping.

    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 :)

    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.
