Perfect location, nice and quiet property but right by the centre too! We loved the morning yoga, and really enjoyed the fresh breakfast. It was the correct way to spend our Christmas this year, thank you!

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.

Nathan and his family are the best hosts we have had the opportunity to meet on our trip to Costa Rica! This accommodation is really worth it - amazing breakfast, equipped kitchen, coffee available all day. Nice pool and even better views. Their commitment is great and they did everything they could to make us enjoy our stay. 15 minutes to amazing beaches. We prefer Carrillo beach but others were also very nice.

Incredibly tranquil. Each bungalow has its own privacy. Coati, raccoons and birds furtle around unbothered by the guests (French, Canadian, UK). I had a swim, looked up and say a tiger heron standing at the end of the pool as if it were analysing my technique. Extraordinary. The staff could not be more helpful nor friendly. It’s super peaceful and a short drive (you ideally need a car) away from Samara. Breakfasts superb and a nice bar for a drink by the pool. There is a superb secret beach accessible by foot 15 minutes walk away through the forest. Sublime. Visit now. The area has the feeling it’s about to explode and embrace a lot of development. I really hope it can hold the tide back. It’s a special special place.

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.

I loved how welcoming all the staff were, I immediately felt comfortable and at home. I was greeted with a cold cloth and beautiful drink. After staying in an Airbnb for a week in the rain, I was so excited to sleep in a clean, air conditioned room with all the amenities. The staff did my laundry and brought to my room, the free breakfast was outstanding!! The coffee was the best so far on my trip to Costa Rica. I cannot thank you all enough for your hospitality and attention to detail.

You won't find more helpful and genuine hosts anywhere.. If you're reading this, just book it. An amazing magical place, full of high quality design & character. Plus it's a minutes walk to one of the best beaches in Costa Rica (according to the guide books, and I would agree). Very private & quiet with scarlet macaws overhead !

The hotel is beautifully located in lovely, landscaped garden with a perfect pool. The rooms were comfortably sized and good beds. All the staff were very helpful in arranging various details and excursions for us. It is a short walk into the town of Samara which is great for the beaches and variety of restaurants.
