A perfect little hotel to stay at and explore Sámara. Loved my room on the 1st floor overseeing the pool with lots of light and just enough space. I appreciated the little details: an umbrella, a fridge, a bottle of water, an umbrella, a safe drawer, and a beach towel. The beach and the town center are walkable distance. The owner Bridgette is super knowledgeable and has helped me a lot with my trip in Costa Rica. That alone makes this hotel a standout on my trip in Costa Rica.

I really enjoyed my stay and hope to visit again in the future (when the weather is a bit nicer). The property itself had everything I needed, but the beach and two very good restaurants were within walking distance. The family that runs the hotel is great.

The owners were great. Very friendly and helpful. The facility was beautiful, clean, and a 10-15 minute walking distance from the beach if you are inclined to enjoy walks like us. Would definitely consider staying there again.

    Great town great beach.

    Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

    Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

    Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

    We loved Samara.

    We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

    We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef protecting the bay, so it is safe to swim for everyone in the family. The beach is clean and nice sand for walking. There are a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores for eating out or cooking in your apartment.

    Samara is wonderful.

    Samara is wonderful. It's a touristy beach town, but a very low-key one. The beach was never terribly crowded, the restaurants were never very crowded, and it was not full of obnoxious, loud partiers. Just a laid-back place full of friendly people.

    Very laid back small village.

    Very laid back small village. Tourists were very chill during my month long stay. Food at sodas and restaurants was very tasty. Do not expect resort type accomodations. A true surfer would go elsewhere but I saw many people getting their first rides here. Everything is walkable. I attended Intercultura Spanish Immersion School for 4 weeks. I hope to return for another month next year. All residentss appeared to enjoy their lives with quiet contentment.

    The location is really nice! Close to the beach and nice chill out area at the hostel. Our room (Economy Room) was very small. For 2 nights ok but for a longer stay you should book a bigger room. The restaurant is nice. Samara Beach is one of the best beaches from Costa Rica. Very beautiful and you can surf (5$ a board per hour)! You should bring a hammock for the beach. Best Thing Ever!

    The room/bathroom is a bit outdated, but very clean and has everything you need. Very close to the sea, and a nice 15-20 minute walk to Samara (along the beach). I personally liked that the hotel wasn’t in the center, especially if you have a car the distance to Samara is no problem. There is a possibility to have dinner at the hotel (not every day).

    The family who run the hotel are so warm, friendly and helpful, they gave us excellent advice and help with trips, taxis and transport. The hotel was relaxing and peaceful and the room was comfortable and clean. The position was perfect, near Carillo beach which is quieter than Samara but you are within easy distance for a visit.

    The hotel is positioned in a lush garden, creating a relaxing environment. Jenna is friendly, warm and welcoming. The beds are the most comfortable we have had in Costa Rica, and the rooms cosy. There are amazing beach walks near by, and Samara approximately 20 minutes walk. Free bikes also available.
