Samara Beach Hotel

The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The staff, especially the cleaning lady was incredibly nice (she also served breakfast most days). The property was nice and tucked away and I actually preferred the pool area over the beach! Breakfast was always very good too. Location couldn’t have been better with the 2 supermercados and mini Mercado, food/dessert options, souvenir shops and the beach, all within walking distance. Note: there were some insulation problems as well as ants and a couple lizards in the room. This can be mitigated by not leaving food out though. There is some exposed piping where bugs get in behind the toilet and sink. That being said, that is extremely common at 3/4 places we stayed while in Costa Rica and should be known for transparency, not because it was a huge problem.

All was very good.

I liked the price for a hotel and the location right in the middle of town

The property is located a 2 minute walk from the beach. Conveniently located to walk to restaurants and shops. None of the power outlets were working in our first room. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful and immediately accommodated us in the room next door. This is an older hotel with very basic necessities. Overall hotel grounds need maintenance. Especially the pool area. The grass was overgrown underneath the lounge chairs. Personally, it wasn’t for us. Booked a two night stay and ended up leaving after one night. Highly recommended eating at the Italian restaurant a few doors away from the hotel!

Super convenient location. staff are charming. Love staying here!
