Beautiful little oasis tucked away from the main area of town but an easy walk to the beach, shops and restaurants.JP is such a nice man and a fabulous host. Clean, beautifully done rooms and a lovely common area around the pool. We saw a family of monkeys beside us in the trees on our last afternoon.

Beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, cleaned daily and neatly arranged—housekeeping even crafts lovely figures with the towels each day. A delightful little oasis with complimentary parking. Hosts are incredibly kind and helpful. Just a 5-minute walk to the beach and supermarket, with plenty of fantastic restaurants nearby. We could easily extend our stay for an extra night. Everything was top-notch, and we would definitely return.

Friendly and welcoming host and staff. The location was very good, being just a 7 minute walk from the beach and a few minutes from local convenience stores and restaurants. Breakfast buffet in the morning had a wide selection of options. The bus stop towards San Jose and other towns is around the corner from the hotel. The room was exactly as we expected it to be.

The place is gorgeous. The rooms are extremely clean and nice, with AC and fridge. The shower is amazing ! There is a nice chilling area, a bar and a restaurant. The pool was our favorite place to be to cool down a bit when the sun hits too strong, it is huge, perfect temperature, good mix of shadow and sun. Ideal to swim or just as I did, read a book :) The place is nicely located, not in the heart of the hotel area, so it is quiet and peaceful, we had great nights there. There is a french bakery next to the hotel, serving delicious pastries and bread. Brandon and his mother are the nicest hosts you can hope for, they are flexible, easy to reach out to and will always do their best to make your stay nice. We were supposed to stay 2 nights, we ended up staying 4. We loved it here !

    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.

    Excellent staff from welcome to arranging bus transport back to airport. Special thanks to Laura and Karina in reception who were so helpful. Breakfast was great and serving staff also lovely. Pool was nice for a cool down and loungers always available. Pool towels free 1st day and $1 per day to change if wanted. Hotel is in town with beach, shops, bars and restaurants close by. Great location, though nothing is far in Samara. Only downside was an unpleasant smell by the rear boundary by the sun loungers. Otherwise a fabulous stay.

    Our four nights in the hotel where perfect! The outdoor area and the room are so lovingly prepared. Jenna and her team gave us every day new options of trips and where so heartfelt and kind! Because of the small number of rooms in the hotel, it felts very familiar. The everyday fresh prepared breakfest was delicious!! We would recommend this hotel to everybody who wants some beautiful days in samara. Thanks a lot for these 4 nights Jenna! Lots of love Leonie & Bruno

    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!
