The location was great, barely 2 minutes walk from the beach. The pool area was very nice, and I enjoyed hanging out in the courtyard, where there were tables and hammocks. I also enjoyed seeing all the signs previous guests had painted, and I added one of my own! The women’s only room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, especially for a hostel, with a good bathroom, regular cleaning by staff, and good air conditioning.

It’s cleanliness and proximity to the beach. Also the staff were very nice , and helpful. The villas were not large but cute, and comfortable. They each had a private covered patio with table , fan and hammock for enjoying the outside. Was perfect for a couple.

The location, so secluded and within walking distance to the beach and the area where most water tours are done. This picture does not give justice to the place. The rooms are quite big and there is even a hair dryer. The bathroom is big too with warm water. There are benches in the corridor in case it rains and you gotta enjoy that. I would recommend ear plugs because the natural singers are out at night (I mean frogs in the back of the building where there is a small swamp or creek, not part of the property). The breakfast is so delicious, but do not miss to eat dinner there because the chef there , a young lady named Yarlini, is the most excellent cook. Her cooking seasoning is out of this world. Well recommended. The service staff is friendly and gracious, Isamara helped me so much she even booked me a tour. This place is so underrated but so worth it.

What a gem of a Bnb! The grounds and pool are lovely and well maintained. It's all very tranquil. Our room was modern, spacious, and clean with a super comfy bed. A variety of birds were our morning wake-up call - it is Costa Rica! We also heard and saw howler monkeys here in the early evening. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruits, a smoothie, eggs, gallo pinto, and more. JP, the host, was so friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, he gave us a tour in his tuki tuki of the local beaches, Samara, where to park our rental car in the busy town and good places to eat. Thanks, JP! We would definitely stay here 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.

    LaMaite is a very special place, tranquil, spacious, the kids loved the pool! Maite, our hostess, was wonderful, warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable recommending beaches and places to visit. We loved the welcome Costa Rica breakfast and other treats, Maite made for us.We rented bicycles from the soda on the corner for our first week and had a car for the latter part of our visit to explore further. Smiles 😊 🙂 Jody and Family

    We had a wonderful stay here for e few nights. The hotel rooms were great and very comfortable. The pools and the restaurant were outstanding. What we loved the most is the shuttle and the provided chairs at the nearby beach by the hotel. The Playa Carrillo was on our whole trip the most beutiful beach of Costa Rica we have seen so far. We enjoyed our stay here so much, thank you!

    This is a great little hotel located right on the Samara Beach. They have a very nice lounging area on the sand. We loved everything about this place. The restaurant is open all day until 9 PM and the food is delicious. The staff in the hotel and restaurant is very friendly and helpful. I hope we can come back to Bahia Hotel again in the future.

    Hotel Sol Samara is just located outside of the city centre, so a car is ideal. It’s surrounded by an amazing nature, a garden with chickens and kittens. The beach is just down the road, a 2min walk and you are with a 5min drive in the city centre surrounded with all restaurants you need
