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.

Samara is a beautiful beach town on the West Coast of Costa Rica. It was our first time visiting and we were very impressed with how beautiful and safe the area is. We expect to be returning many times in the future with our adult kids and their partners. The Town itself has everything you need to visit, enjoy and live here. Every place we visited was exceptional and the staff very professional! Our hotel was a pleasure to stay at. A small place with everything you need to have a wonderful experience. I fully recommend Bellavista Suites by Villas Verdes for a great time.

- From $81.36 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 759 reviewsIt 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,
RyanUnited States of America - From $129.95 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 362 reviewsThis is a beautiful boutique property a 2 minute walk along a dirt track to the most southerly spot on Playa Samara. We loved that spot on the beach which we mainly had to ourselves. The hotel have plenty of beach chairs,umbrellas and towels which you can borrow. Our room was very large with a lovely seating area and a patio. The breakfast was excellent and we also ate there on 3 evenings and enjoyed our meals especially the dips. The staff are always friendly and cheerful.AmandaUnited Kingdom
- From $85 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 229 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 $207.92 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 119 reviewsThe modern chic lodge is up in the hills above Samara with a wonderful view of both Playa Samara and Playa Carillo, and a lovely pool. A 4 x 4 vehicle is advisable due to the climb on the dirt roads. Samara itself is my favorite Costa Rican cramped beach town of restaurants, hotels, bars, shops, etc., crowded during high season, so this is an excellent option for being near to it but getting away from noise at night.AthenaUnited States of America
- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 997 reviewsWe really liked the hotel. It was affordable, convenient! Only a 5 min walk to beach! In fact in Samara everything is no further than a 5 min walk. Pool area was nice and quiet, room a good size. Unfortunately we never got to stay overnight as my husband suffered an emergency and had to be airlifted to hospital in San Jose. The owners were really wonderful and understanding! Highly recommend Hotel Belvedere!ChristineCanada
- From $81.36 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 588 reviewsFrom what we could see by walking around the town, this was probably one of the nicest hotels in Samara. The staff was extremely nice and helpful and even arranged a dolphin excursion for us through Samara Adventures (definitely recommended). It’s a short walk to the beach so good location as well. Rooms are not huge but definitely big enough and we were a family of 4. Highly recommended.BBrettCanada
- From $123.17 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 694 reviewsFriendly 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.
ElisabethCanada - From $140.48 per night9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 119 reviewsWhat a great place to stay in Samara! Everything is new and modern. 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. The staff is also very helpful. If we ever come back, that's where we're staying.
NadiaUnited States of America - 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 272 reviewsEasy walking distance to the town of Samara. When you walk inside the tropical landscape of the hotel grounds you leave the busy, disheveled town vibe of Samara behind. Use of the outdoor kitchen facility and the tables to prepare meals and play cards was great. Big shower in the bathroom with good natural lighting.AAnonymousUnited States of America

JAIME ORTIZ MANGADOIreland - 7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 142 reviewsThe location was good. You could walk everywhere in town, but it was on a quiet street so no noise at night. The water pressure in the shower was great. The breakfast was decent, with eggs, fruit and toast. You could also choose to have a traditional Costa Rican breakfast instead.
