A great place to stay, no expensive and with good amenities. Also close to probably the best beach of Samara literally 5 minutes by walk. Food is also tasty and staff are pretty kind.

JP went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He took time to show me around Samara and introduced me to people. He gave me useful tips on apps for music and the tide. Thanks for your hospitality!

This was by far my favorite experience staying in Costa Rica. This place and people are rare gems. First, the location is perfect, with a inhouse parking, 5 min walk from the beach, and close to a French Bakery ;) The place is so well maintained, peaceful, tastefully furnished, with a pool and a wonderful outdoor area. The room is absolutely perfect, with beautiful showers and confortable bed, AC, fan. It is cleaned everyday (THANK YOU for the beautiful daily decorations, natual flowers and shells put on my bed). Each room has its balcony which is amazing. The breakfast, extra, is delish and diversified (4 options). And, finally, Brigitte and Lothar are AMAZING hosts. Thank YOU for this wonderful stay I could not dream of a better place for my stay in Samara. I appreciate all the guidance provided to learn more about the area. You guys are truly the best. I wish you good luck, and hope to see you soon! Fares

Only about 1 mile (down potholed dirt road) from Samara. My family was amazed by the beauty of Costa Rica after arriving here after a long travel day. They upgraded our family to the biggest Villa at the top of the driveway because it was open. It was very nice and secluded. It has a small private pool and outdoor dinning area. The foliage is used for privacy between the villas. The grounds were beautiful! The receptionist was very helpful with recommendations and let us keep our luggage there a couple hours after checkout. I would highly recommend.

    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.

    this hotel is in paradise! the hotel is very nice, we had a room on the groundfloor (easy with heavy suitcases) near the swimming pool, good airco and fan, fridge. great breakfast (also the choice of yoghurt with granola, something different after the typical breakfast, pancakes, or eggs and bacon everywhere), breakfast and diner on the beach. we can really recommend this hotel and wish we stayed here a few more nights to explore Nicoya. Samara is a nice and small village!

    Wonderful hotel on beachfront. Rooms were dark and quiet enough for sleeping. Staff were very friendly and arranged to do our laundry for us. We enjoyed a nice ceviche lunch and Happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails. Samara is a really lovely place. Lively and great restaurants and yet we didn’t encounter any rowdy tourists so very relaxing stay. Great beach and waves for beginner surfing. Try Patos surf school. We didn’t want to leave.

    Wow, it was great. Better than the pics. 2 bedrooms with 2 large beds. Nicely equipped kitchen. Even had a blender, rice cooker and micro! Hot water in the shower (that's rare for Costa Rica). Very clean. Extra towels and rags for kitchen and bathroom. Even had ice ready in the freezer. Hammock and chairs outside with a laundry line. Very powerful ceiling fans. And screens on the windows - amazing. Communication was very good.
