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.

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.

- From $89.27 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 520 reviewsA little piece of paradise, Andre and Rainer went above and beyond for me. Any request I had was immediately accommodated, Andre even got me some bug spray from Samara. They took me to the white sand beach, Rainer showed me the aloe vera when I had too much sun and even dropped me off for my next location. My room was beautiful, the best shower I've had in Costa Rica! The restaurant is very comfortable for hanging out, and the food is incredible. I can go on and on. Amazing hosts, thank you so much.

- From $145.77 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 213 reviewsLaura is a brilliant host and the location is stunning. She’s has created a little slice of heaven up on the top of a mountain. Yes you will def need a 4x4 and the roads are very ‘Costa rican’ but what awaits is truly worth it. The food - from breakfast to the dinner options were really nice. Laura went out of her way to help us with her onward travel and we can’t thank her enough. There is also 3 lovely friendly dogs, 2 cats and a pig called Brad Pig. What more could you really ask for…
SamUnited Kingdom - 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 698 reviewsIt doesn't get any more beachfront than this place, and the beach itself is wonderful. A few minutes walk down the beach from the small town, and well away from any busy roads, so very peaceful. A fantastic and unpretentious place to relax, with a superb restaurant - some of the best food we had in our entire Costa Rica stay was eaten out on the patio. Really pleasant and helpful staff who almost instantly felt like friends. Highly recommended, and we hope to be back before long.
TJALLINGUnited States of America - 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 457 reviewsThe location was excellent, five minute walk to one of the nicest beach’s in Costa Rica. we stayed in the “Bungalow” which was a stand alone unit with full fridge and stove, we did not make us of the stove as there are a few great restaurants within a few minutes walk. there are also two small “grocery” stores close by. the breakfast that Millie served each morning was excellent, 4 or 5 different options, I think I had them all! we would not hesitate to stay here again!BrentCanada
- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 419 reviewsThis place is absolutely beautiful. The best place we stayed in all of Costa Rica. Peke is an amazing cook and the breakfast and coffee and juice were fantastic. The dining area is beautiful. Jenna is so warm and welcoming. What a gem of a place. Rooms and grounds are lovely. The pool is wonderful. Because there are only 5 rooms, it is a really peaceful and quiet place and the pool was often empty. Easy and flat walk to the beach takes about 15 mins.

JoUnited Kingdom - 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 698 reviewswe are so grateful that we found Bahia- a real treat for us on our 3 week stay in Costa Rica. It has been so carefully thought through and lovingly created and all the staff are incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive. The whole place is spotlessly clean and it is such a treat being so close to tue beautiful Samara beach- literally a few steps away from your room.
