Wonderful small hotel. We had an apartment with kitchen, two bedrooms and a balcony right on the beach. The hotel had a nice restaurant for food and drinks. It was a 7 minute walk on the beach to restaurants in town.

This accomodation was our favourite one in Costa Rica. The hosts are super lovely and give you any support you need. The position of the lodge is ideal to get to the beach or to the next supermarket. The rooms are beautiful and the pool was perfect. 10/10

Such a beautiful view, excellent location and fantastic staff. Originally we only planned on staying for 3 nights, but ended up staying 7 nights. The pool area is superb, there are bikes and surfboards that you can use for free. Danny was such a brilliant host. He responded immediately to requests. At the bottom of the street there is a bakery called Roots. They serve the best breakfast. Also, don’t forget to feed the cat is there. She is so sweet and seems to be a thing that travellers buy cat food from the supermarket and keep her water and feed bowls (next to the washing machine) topped up. ❤️

We loved the stay here! The hosts were so nice & helped us with lots of recommendations! We had bad luck with the weather but it was so nice because we could stay in the whirlpool many hours :) really clean and big room. You need the car though, if you want to go to Samara, but its only 4 minutes or something so totally ok. Also safe, because the main entrance was locked. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved this lodge. The moment we arrived to Samara, Denis reached out and explained how to get there. Waze works best in Costa Rica. Also if you rent the car, make sure to rent a higher one because some roads are pretty bumpy and you would need to push it. But it’s normal there. Once we arrived, they met us by the entry with warm hello, showed us our place, greeted and let us be. Breakfast was delicious and very thoughtful, based on our needs. Denis was so helpful. He answered all our questions, always within minutes replies to my messages. He also recommended bunch of places. Our lodge was clean and replenished daily. The view is great, private. Overall amazing stay! Highly recommend. Lovely owners! Thank you guys!!!!!!

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!
