Hotel Brisas del Pacifico

Lovely place right on the beach with confused lawn chairs. Clean pool. Beautiful gardens. Wonderful staff and great breakfast included. Will definitely come back!

Perfekte Lage direkt am Strand von Samara. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Bis auf das gute Frühstück war das Restaurant zwar geschlossen, aber das ergab kein Problem. In direkter Nachbarschaft ist ein gutes Restaurant und es ist ca. 15 Minuten am Strand entlang bis ins Zentrum von Samara. Am Pool sind ausreichend Stühle und Liegen vorhanden, diese dürfen auch mit an den Strand genommen werden.

The grounds and location are wonderful. The pool is large and well-maintained. There are many reclining lawn chairs around the pool that can be brought to the edge of the property facing the beach, with ample shade as well. We really enjoyed our time at the beach, just steps away from our room. However, the room itself wasn't great. It was uncomfortably hot at night, and the the air conditioner and ceiling fan were too loud to allow for a good sleep. The bed was also uncomfortable, consisting of a mattress on a frame, with no box spring.

Great location on Playa Samara. A 15 min walk to town on the beach. Beautiful grounds, nice pool. It would have been nice if the restaurant and bar were open. Overall a good experience.

Very convenient for the beach, a very short walk to a nice restaurant (Hotel Restaurant Bahia) and close by the town of Samara. Easy walk along the beach during the dry season. Not much english spoken but communication was not a problem. Was able to upgrade to an air conditioned room which was essential due to 33*C and high humidity. Grounds and area very well kept with flowers and trees and a large resident Iguana. Pool and jacuzzi clean and pleasant.

Die Anlage ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte hier und da ein wenig Auffrischung erhalten, aber die Lage ist unschlagbar. Die Eigentümer und das Personal sind sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend, Frühstück ist perfekt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer ohne Klimaanlage, aber es war okay. Liegen durften kostenlos mit an den Strand im Schatten unter Palmen genommen werden- absolutes Plus! Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hierher kommen- ganz klare Empfehlung 👍

The Hotel was within walkable distance to the small town of Samara via a beautiful beach. The setting was surrounded by beautifully tended gardens and great for animal viewing , monkeys and lizards and tropical birds. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating speaking mainly Spanish, French and German. The accommodation was good value , basic but clean and comfortable ....everything you need in hot water and fans. Also, a swimming pool overlooking the ocean was a treat. All within the sounds of the rolling waves and Howler monkeys and flamboyant birds. A nature lovers dream. This setting would entice us to go back again.

The hotel was clean and quiet and away from the louder parts of the beach. Breakfast was good and the host was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are set around a beautifully tended garden creating a very relaxing atmosphere. Chairs and loungers can be taken onto the beach or under the palm trees.

Tolle Anlage, direkt am Meer. Schöner Pool. Nettes Personal. Die Eigentümer sprechen auch deutsch.

Walking distance to town and beach restaurants. Beds could use an update. Rooms were very clean and pool area was lovely. All staff were wonderful! The beach is directly in front and is stunning!! Would go back again!!!!

This property is peaceful and calming, and there is an excellent restaurant beside it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic, no frills, (no hair dryer, or shampoo for example) but we had a fan, and it was clean and comfortable. The pool and was nice, and the beach area was lovely. Pretty gardens. We were very happy!

A wonderful place to stay, very clean, very nice staff close to Samara. I would definitely stay here again!

Let's start with the positives: lovely location right by the beach, spacious rooms, lovely flowery garden and good breakfast. Staff were also quite friendly. But the hotel also has an 'end of an era vibe'. We're told on arrival that the common toilets are kept locked as a post covid measure(?!). No room cleaning for the three days we were there and being right by the beach, it showed. We could get one towel for the beach and had to keep it throughout our stay. For 100USD per night, it felt like the establishment could comfortably invest in more staffing to take care of this, or that it should cut it's prices to reflect services. Finally, if you book in USD, bring cash to pay. At the point of payment, the price is converted in colones and you could find yourself paying for more than the original booking price.

Sehr freundliches Personal. Saubere und sehr gepflegte Anlage. Direkt am Strand

Todo el hotel sumamente descuidado y viejo Sin ducha, sin pantalla, sin aire, etc.

Very nice personel. Very clean and cozy, with a beautiful garden. Hot water, which is not obvious in Costa Rica.

Property is dated, but kept in great shape, very clean, good staff, great location. 10 minutes to town. Good morning breakfast included.would stay here again

clean room, amazing staff all so friendly, great location, right on the beach, great pool and great value

Great deal for what you get. Great location but a little dated. They need to buy new beds, the ones they have are very old and uncomfortable.

Simple mais en front de mer direct Personnel sympa Manque la Clim

This resort is older but it is clean and the staff are friendly. Breakfast was included each day and the food was delicious and plentiful. The units had air conditioning and were spacious. Our bed could have used a mattress topper for some extra softness but we slept well. The pool was clean and a great temperature and the beach was just steps away. Padded lounge chairs were plentiful and there were lots of shady areas to claim for the day. Be sure to bring your own shampoo and blow dryer as these items were not available. Lots of restaurants and little convenience stores were within walking distance. We would stay here again.

The location was perfect. A 2 minute drive was enough to get away from the hustle of town, but close enough to easily walk in to check out the shops and restaurants. There’s a beautiful, refreshing pool on site, if you’re not the ocean type. Breakfast is served overlooking the ocean, which was a great way to start our day. There’s no AC(not in our room at least), and even though I come from northern Canada, and work outdoors even in the winter months, the temperature was manageable thanks to the ocean breeze. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place in beautiful location but clearly working on bare bones budget. Rooms clean but worn. Hotel evokes a fading property on what must have been a beautiful facility years ago. Convenient to Samara shops/restaurants. Beach is right there. Sounds f birds and monkeys abound, with fruit trees and views.

The grounds and location are wonderful. The pool is large and well-maintained. There are many reclining lawn chairs around the pool that can be brought to the edge of the property facing the beach, with ample shade as well. We really enjoyed our time at the beach, just steps away from our room. However, the room itself wasn't great.

The bed was also uncomfortable, consisting of a mattress on a frame, with no box spring.

Very nice staff. My room was extremely hot and the air did not circulate well, even with a fan. On the coast air conditioning is very much needed or else lots of windows to have the air moving through the room. So close to the ocean! A wonderful location with easy access to the beach!!!

Grounds and area very well kept with flowers and trees and a large resident Iguana. Pool and jacuzzi clean and pleasant.

Everything was great. A Tv amd hairdryer in the room would make it perfect.

Super hôtel abordable, sur la plage de Samara. L'accueil chaleureux et très propre

Staff almost said no when I arrived early and asked for a chair to sit and do remote work, that seems pretty inflexible since I didn't expect to get my room at 8am, just a place to sit and work while I waited to 2pm after a long drive there. At the end they gave in not so pleased. That seems unreasonable since the hotel was pretty much empty and I wasn't even going to use the pool or anything else. Looks a little outdated, no pets allowed Property has a good location, easy access to the beach, close enough to the center at a 4 min drive. (recommend a car since walking might take a while going both ways and there is no restaurant at the hotel)

It was not possible to pay the accomodation in advance via expedia durin the booking process. It was also not possible to pay by card in the accomodation. We tried five different cards. The lady said, that she had this problem already a few times. (It was definitly a problem with her machine, our cards worked everywhere else). When I asked her twice why it is not possible do pay the room in advance during the booking process as she knows about the problem with her machine, she didn‘t answer my question.

Pros: The location is superb - 50 feet from the beach and as close as the only other 1 or 2 MUCH HIGHER PRICED hotels actually on Samara beach. Staff are great and very helpful, but only 2 of them. Nearest restaurant/bar is only 100 yds away along the sand/beachfront path (no sidewalk on the main road - avoid at night). Other restaurants are 10min walk on the beach, a very easy flat walk but bring flashlight. Very reasonably priced - extremely good value. Would definitely book again. Cons: Old hotel, not updated or renovated. Don't expect anything fancy, but it all works. Breakfast is basic ham and eggs coffee. Get the balcony room!!! Remember you are paying for the superb location, not the amenities itself.

clean room, amazing staff all so friendly, great location, right on the beach, great pool and great value

Owner , Lady was a hands on hostess, she was awesome! This is a quiet place a little out of the way. Town is a 5 minute walk to town

I made a reservation in this hotel as they stated initially that there was a safe in each room. That was not true. On arrival I discovered that the room I booked was without a safe. I complained to the front deck receptionist who said that the type of room I booked did not have a safe, despite the description of the room stating otherwise. He told me that there were no other rooms available that night. However when I complained that the T.V. was not working also, he found another room. The other room was for disabled people I assume. There wasn't even a closet to hang clothes on hangers. Again I complained. This guy then told me he was the Manager (a lie) when I asked to speak to the Manager. Afterwords told me his parents owned the place. His attitude was deplorable. At least future clients will see now that a safe is not in all the rooms, in fact only 8/23 rooms have a safe. The next day the safe was removed from the decription of the rooms. Overall a rather dated propery with basic amenities. Never again!

Just a beautiful spot! Stayed for 2 weeks and the staff is so attentive, the breakfast and coffee every day delicious. And the sparkling pool across from the ocean—-if you want tranquility this is the spot. A bit down away from the main part of Samara beach which was so desired for its peace. Got the AC room to be able to sleep at night, not used to the heat of Costa rica. The best restaurant right next door. Just lovely owners, very well kept with its beautiful gardens.

Everything was good. Staff very helpful

Great quiet hotel location right on the beach, a few minutes walk from restaurant, Friendly staff.

Lovely hotel, situated steps to the beach. It's quiet and within walking distance to town.

Love the location on the beach. Nice garden with parrots, monkeys, and hummingbirds. Enjoyed having breakfast with a spectacular sea view. Short walk to town.

Great location on Playa Samara. A 15 min walk to town on the beach. Beautiful grounds, nice pool. It would have been nice if the restaurant and bar were open. Overall a good experience.

Etwas abseits vom Rummel direkt am Strand gelegen. Die Stadt ist über den Strand schnell erreichbar.

This hotel was a little slice of heaven. Located directly on the beach, a short 5 minute walk into Samara town, and incredibly friendly staff - we couldn't ask for anything more. The breakfast has 3 options to choose from, with orange juice and coffee. Highly recommended.

clean room, amazing staff all so friendly, great location, right on the beach, great pool and great value

We enjoyed this sweet, quiet beachfront property on the outskirts of what is becoming a busy town. The rooms were simple but adequate, and the property has gardens, pool, chairs and tables, and breakfast. There is food and drink about 300 feet down the beach, and the ‘downtown’ area a 10-15 minute walk down the beach. This place is for those who want peaceful, reasonably priced, and comfortable .

Very low key and chiling atmosphere - loved that. Great location

Välstädade och relativt stora rum. Trevlig personal med hjälpsam receptionsanställd. God frukost med mycket tillmötesgående och gullig personal. Fantastiskt bra läge nära stranden. Fin trädgård med olika växter.

An older property but well maintained. Nice pool, beautiful beach out front. Good breakfast. The lady who owed it is a delight and very helpful. Overall a great experie ce. The beach was the highlight!

Perfekte Lage direkt am Strand von Samara. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Bis auf das gute Frühstück war das Restaurant zwar geschlossen, aber das ergab kein Problem.

Ett hotell helt utan ”själ”. Ägaren har mer fokus på regler än möjligheter. Serverade bara frukost. Hårda sängar. Inget schampo eller duschgel. Pool & trädgården var fina. Vår ”räddning” blev den trevliga grann restaurangen (som också har hotell!) Läget var mycket fint på stranden.

Great location on Playa Samara. A 15 min walk to town on the beach. Beautiful grounds, nice pool. It would have been nice if the restaurant and bar were open. Overall a good experience.

It is a nice, clean, yet ‘tired’ place. Room was utilitarian, air conditioning worked well. American breakfast is horrible, traditional breakfast okay, continental was mostly fruit. Other than that food, there is nothing at all. No bar, no music (even quiet), I had to ask for an extra towel for beach/pool (they were not provided). Pro: away from the hustle of the main beach, quiet at night. If that’s what you’re after. It feels a bit depressing there.

Pros: The location is superb - 50 feet from the beach and as close as the only other 1 or 2 MUCH HIGHER PRICED hotels actually on Samara beach. Staff are great and very helpful, but only 2 of them.

Remember you are paying for the superb location, not the amenities itself.

This is an undiscovered gem. By Central American standards, this next to perfect. There are several reasons we will stay here again. First, location, location, location. This right on the beach. It is within an easy walk to All the beach side restaurants, downtown Sámara, and Intercultura Language School. It is a perfect location. Second. This is a family owned, family run establishment. Staying here supports the local people, the local economy, and the local self sustanance. The "Big Bucks" corporations use the local resources with little regard for the people. I will stay here again as an act of support for local businesses. Third, this is excellent value. The cost of staying here is a fair price for what you get. Finally, this is just a lovely place. The pool is clean and we'll kept. The breakfasts are excellent. And most of all, the staff treat everyone as family. All this said, know where you are before you decide to go to this part of the world. It is NOT normal in this area of Costa Rica to have hot water; yet this hotel has hot water. It IS normal here to see lots of insects and small critters inside. You might see some here, but not many. It is normal here to cool down by fans and cold water; and you won't find electric air conditioning here. I knew all of this when I booked and loved being here. I'll be back next time too.

The hotel was clean and quiet and away from the louder parts of the beach. Breakfast was good and the host was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are set around a beautifully tended garden creating a very relaxing atmosphere. Chairs and loungers can be taken onto the beach or under the palm trees.
