We loved our stay at Tuki Tuki. It’s a small resort located walkable to the beach. The staff is sooo friendly and really treat you like family. We LOVED our stay at Tuki Tuki and wish we could have stayed longer. Rooms were super clean and spacious! JP the owner/host goes above and beyond to make your stay incredible. Hazel the cook/ cleaning lady makes delicious breakfasts and does an amazing job keeping the place clean. We loved the small resort atmosphere and meeting the other guests. It truly felt like coming home to friends at the end of each day.

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.

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.

My mom and I had an amazing stay at La Flor de Coco! The hosts are very kind and welcoming, the room is spacious and comfortable, and the A/C works really well. The common areas are super nice, from the clean pool to the large tables and the upper deck, there is always a quiet spot to rest. Thank you for everything!

What Guests Said About Sámara:

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 food in this hotel restaurant was wonderful, easily the best we had during our 4 weeks travel in Costa Rica. The welcome and charming service from Ramon, his son Sebastian and all the staff was warm and caring, we were made to feel special as were the other guests staying there! Ramon's contacts were also excellent, he arranged a spectacular whale spotting trip with Samara Sea Tours and took us on a fishing trip to see the sunset. The location was central. We were sad to leave and send our warm regards now back in the UK.

Everything! This is a lovely little family run hotel, and they were so helpful and welcoming. The location was five minutes walk from a beautiful local beach - playa Carrillo - and close to plenty of restaurants of differing types. Only 15 mins drive from Sàmara, a chilled beach holiday town. The rooms are lovely, very high quality fixtures and fittings. We really would encourage you to stay here, and if we are ever in Costa Rica again, we would stay here again.

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.
