Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach.
Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach. There are many other beaches nearby. It has quite a few restaurants and cafes to choose from. Lots of great fish. Prices are "reasonable" by comparison with some fancier locations along the coast, but all prices in US dollars are high for Canadians.
Just two hours from Liberia airport, this town has a laid back feel. Not sure how long that will last.

Samara is a funky little beach town with lots of little eateries and shops, and a number of restaurants right on the beach undercover with enough variety to make it interesting. There were also enough activities and beaches in the area to enjoy.

This is a great little town with a beautiful beach and yummy food options. We wish we could have spent more time here to explore the different restaurants a bit more. We hope to come back soon! We also really enjoyed the neighboring beach of Carrillo, which we drove to - but it didn't have food options the way Samara did.

A wonderful walkable town with many restaurants, excellent couple massages, friendly community, and beautiful beaches. I did the Warner preserve tour with a native Samarian - he was EXCELLENT - a fantastic visit. My husband and I are thinking about coming back and staying much longer. The community seems very low key - just the right pace for us :)

Very easy to get around. Everything is close and you feel safe walking there. Very friendly local people.
I would recommend checking out the restaurants Las Olas, AhoraSi, Mana, Malehu coffee shop, L'Ulvio, and the Saturday local market.

The beach and ocean are beautiful.
The beach and ocean are beautiful. There are lots of restaurants and fun bars to have a drink. The city government has to work harder at keeping the town clean. Sidewalks, store fronts and some restaurants need to be improved, there were so many flies at one of the restaurants where we ate, that we ended up having to leave. There is very limited parking, there should be a place where excursion buses can park further away from town, it feels chaotic.
It really doesn’t get much better than this in Samara especially for the price. The most amazing friendly staff. All the gifts they give for staying makes it feel that much more special. Included breakfast is super convenient and makes the room price cheaper when you consider that you’ll spend $20-30 as a couple on the same breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Lots of seating for beach chilling. The bar is very creative and high quality use of ingredients. The dinner serving staff is so professional and knowledgeable,
Honestly could not fault this property, we stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our trip and it was a perfect way to finish an incredible stay in Costa Rica. All the rooms face onto the beautiful gardens and pool, with a small seating area for each room which was a very peaceful and quiet area. Breakfast was cooked fresh each morning, and each breakfast was different and absolutely delicious! The staff are so friendly and are happy to help with anything. Would definitely stay here again!
The hut is owned by a person of European descent which may be the reason why the usual drawbacks of accommodations in Costa Rica were absent here: There were no loose water taps, non-functional power outlets or the like; everything was well maintained and selected with a great love for details. The hut is best equipped, cozy and in the middle of the jungle. The other reviewers did not exaggerate: You really can watch the monkeys while doing the dishes.
Garden: well-maintained with beautiful flowers. my wife really likes.
Shower and bath room: very large space.
Beach: it is located rip current. but we enjoyed sitting down in front of the beach.The hotel provides several shade between trees. we moved the beach chairs to one of them and enjoyed a relaxing time.
Breakfast: basic but enough and tasty. we can choose one from 4 options
Restaurant: no restaurant for lunch and dinner.
Amazing location right on the beach in Samara! We booked the second floor apartment that had a balcony overlooking the beach. Beautiful views and quiet area. We ate lunch in the Cafe and breakfast too - the food was delicious. Xinia was for helpful. It was renovated last year and the rooms are comfortable and clean. I highly recommend it for a water front boutique hotel at a value price! I would definitely stay again!
This is a great little hotel located right on the Samara Beach. They have a very nice lounging area on the sand. We loved everything about this place. The restaurant is open all day until 9 PM and the food is delicious. The staff in the hotel and restaurant is very friendly and helpful. I hope we can come back to Bahia Hotel again in the future.
The family who run the hotel are so warm, friendly and helpful, they gave us excellent advice and help with trips, taxis and transport. The hotel was relaxing and peaceful and the room was comfortable and clean. The position was perfect, near Carillo beach which is quieter than Samara but you are within easy distance for a visit.
Lovely traditional Costa Rican apartment very well kitted out kitchen with large fridge and a freezer also. Close to the beach and supermarkets.
The host was exceptional, very responsive to my questions. I had caught sun the previous day and she knocked on my door with some aloe Vera which was very sweet.
Thank you for my stay.
The location was perfect! Basically beachfront because it took a 2 minute walk to get there! I liked how the rooms were private and you can sit outside and hangout. The pool was amazing! Very nice place. I have been to Samara before this trip a few times and this is the best hotel I stayed at. Very nice staff as well.
We were so happy to find this gem in Samara. The price is very reasonable for the comfort of the room and the facilities, including a large pool. The hotel is 5 min walking to the main part of Samara. To top it off, the hosts are very friendly and are always willing to share recommendations of things to do nearby.
This is the place you must be in Costa Rica. The perfect mix between jungle and high-level services.
You can hear the monkeys singing from your place, still you get to have a delicious "gallo pinto" for breakfast (ora whatever else you need).
Staff is super, always smiley!
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
it’s a gem, a hidden gem. This is the best spot in Costa Rica to truly be on holiday. the fields and grounds there are beautiful, the food is great and cheap. the owner Reiner is a very fun and musical guy. It’s a great experience to be there.
very nice location close to the beach
nice people
super swimming pool
the room was big, big bed, very nice patio in front of every room
very clean
shampoo (very rare in costa rica!) and shower gel
The best room we have stayed in Costa Rica! Really new and clean, also very well furnished and integrated into the surrounding nature. The forest facing balcony with jacuzzi is a great plus.
