Great breakfast, location is 15/20 minutes walk to Center by well lit roads at night but this makes it a quiet but friendly place. Fantastic set up with really clean modern facilities and host JP and his staff make you feel really welcome.it really is 10 out of 10. Excellent bird and wildlife in and around the lodge.

A true paradise. We booked only two nights and I wished we stayed longer. Our bungalow hidden in lush garden was very comfortable and super clean. The outdoor shower was amazing. Swimming pool was a highlight for our 12 years old as well as funky coaties that hang around the premises.

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...

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.

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. Smiles 😊 🙂 Jody and Family

I liked everything. The style, you really feel in Costa Rica with the plants around, wooden balconies, birds singing, etc. It's relaxing. Very cute private single room with private bathroom, balcony and hammock. Super clean, there's everything to cook, good free coffee, clean beautiful pool, very welcoming and helpful staff. One of the best hotels I have been to in Costa Rica. I would certainly come back and for many nights.

We live in Costa Rica and escape to Samara as often as possible. We have stayed Casa Maiana for many years under prior and found the new owners Thierry and Christina to be gracious, welcoming and available to answer any questions you have. Casa Maiana is perfectly located for discovering Samara on foot - close to the beach, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets but off the beaten path and quiet. Highly recommend!

Friendly and welcoming staff, including one of the hotel's owners, our room was small but recently renovated. The hotel's location is hard to beat, a bit off the village hence very calm but a 10 min walk along the beach if you fancy "downtown" Samara. The beach bar is great, feet in the sand while you sip your drink or beer. Very good restaurant too. In a nutshell, highly recommended.
