The location is great, very close to restaurants and the beach but also quiet. It's nice to have a living room + kitchen and balconies. Beds were comfortable + AC in the bedrooms is enjoyable. There is everything in the flat if you need to cook.

I feel lucky that I chose this place just based on seeing it online. I might have chosen a different place because I'd never been to Samara before, so I'm so glad I ended up here. It is a special place that grew on me the longer I stayed. It's in a perfect location that is convenient for the commercial area and main beach of Samara, but a little bit set back where it was more peaceful and a little bit wild. The staff were so helpful and warm and professional; this is why people love Costa Rica--the hospitality of the Ticos. They asked me if I had dietary restrictions, because the breakfast offerings changed each day (and they were all delicious with fresh ingredients--and with very generous portions). It's a smaller property with not so many rooms, so it's pretty quiet and the other guests were all respectful of privacy and keeping noise down. After a long day exploring the local areas, this was such a great spot to come back to and truly relax. There are a couple of really good Costan Rican sodas nearby and I also rented a bike to go further afield. One of my favorite things to do here was to go for a dip in the pool right around sunset, when everyone else was either going to dinner or the beach for the sunset. The whole area came alive with the sounds of wildlife: howler monkeys, cicadas, so many different birdsongs, and some other mysterious Costa Rican animal sounds I did not recognize (????) I just floated in the pool and listened to the sounds of Costa Rica and was truly relaxed and calm. The staff were super helpful with any practical questions about things like transportation, laundry, anything you need in town. The room was spotless and the bed was really comfortable. The wifi was lightning fast and checkin and checkout were really easy.

This is a beautiful jungle location with quiet nights awoken only by the howler monkeys overhead in the morning. The kitchen is outfitted sufficiently for meal prep and the local supermarket is well stocked. The staff were lovely and proudly keep the place in top notch condition. The secret beach was amazing. Cabins are nicely spaced apart. Recommend having a car for this location, since the walk from town is do-able yet dusty.

My favourite beach stay! Staff were lovely. Location was incredible, right on the beach. Lots of chill out spots to relax on the sand, the shade of a magnificent tree. The Italian food was incredible!! Rooms were very clean! I wish could have stayed longer, but I will definitely go back!

We loved the breakfasts! Something different prepared every day, they bring in chefs, everything is very tasty and beautifully presented. A very intimate setting too, great for chatting to other guests and the host, Jenna, who was enthusiastic and attentive. Loved the hammock chairs, beautifully placed for watching the sunset. Room was very clean and was kept very clean during our stay. Only about a 15 min stroll into town (I think quite a few reviews put this as a downside but it’s an easy walk), quiet location.

I loved everything about this space. My budget room was small but perfect for my stay. I loved cooling off in the dipping pool before bed each night. Great location … 5 minutes to walk to all restaurants, beach and shops but also not right in the middle of all the late night music etc.

Affordable, spacious room. The pool is ideal for cooling down a bit. Breakfast is good. Access to the kitchen is a big plus. Nice and quiet neighborhood. The ocean is calmer than in other beaches on this peninsula, ideal for smaller children or learning to surf.

Very nice spot. Very clean bungalow. Kitchen has everthing you need and also very clean. Always hot water, good water pressure. Moskitonets everywhere. Pool and garden very clean and well-kept. The last part of the street very bumpy, but you can do it slowly without a 4x4. Location in the nature, but still close to Sàmara. You need a car to get there. Parking was safe. Very good price! We would come again!
