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.LuanUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

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 :)BuschUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
Very easy to get around.
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.AlexandraUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.

- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 41 reviewsThis stay was perfect! If you are looking for being in touch with Costa Rica’s wonderful nature then this is the place for you! Celine was the nicest and made sure everything was good for us. The tent is surprisingly comfortable, with very very little insects. However, if you do not like being around animals of if tiny bugs bother you it’s not worth to come and then complain :) just know what to expect and enjoy the wonderful shade under the florest trees, with families of monkeys and coatis walking around
CarolinaPortugal - From $123.34 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 549 reviewsWe felt right at home in this family run hotel. The customer service was fantastic. Very attentive service, great communication and flexibility. The rooms were spacious, equipped with attention to detail (e.g. umbrellas for the rainy season), each with a separate terrace where the excellent breakfast was served. Access to the beach with a good variety of bars and restaurants is less than 5 minutes walk. And the rates were very reasonable. Overall the best choice in Samara.AAnonymousSwitzerland
- From $85 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 234 reviewsWhat can we say....you have a property where almost every imaginable detail is taken into consideration. it's a new, modern build. Rooms all are comfortable and have air conditioning. Shower's great, mattress is great, pillows are great (these are always issues in Costa Rica). Having a small soaker pool on the property was a great way to spend our afternoon after we went dolphin watching. We spent 3 nights here and wished it could have been 5. Would recommend to everyone.RichardCanada
- From $108.05 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 168 reviewsThe 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.
MatthiasGermany - From $70.06 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 498 reviewsThis hostel is in the heart of Sámara, great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing fancy just a good room for the price and can walk to everything. 7 minute walk to the beach. Grocery stores across the street and restaurants all around you. Go on the dolphin tour, for $50 US it was four hours long. We watched dolphins for over half and hour then we watched 8 humpbacks for about 35 to 40 mins, it was amazing!!!!!
LeanneCanada - From $258.71 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 689 reviewsThe view was spectacular. Puerto Carrillo has one of the best beaches on the Pacific Coast, especially the sunset. The beach access was close by, with good local restaurants within walking distance. The pool area is beautifully set up and it was never difficult to find a spot. Bar staff were excellent. The road to the larger town of Samara, where there are services and restaurants, was fast and easy to travel to by car from the hotel.DonnaCanada

The apartment was spacious, kitchen fully equipped with everything you would need, bed was comfortable, and the AC worked great. We cooked our own breakfast, and easily walked to town and the beach.

Staff was great, helpful and friendly. Grounds were pretty and the pool was nice as well. A little bit more expensive then our other hotels in Costa Rica but we felt it was worth the price. We ended up staying an extra night because we liked the town and the hotel.
