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 - 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 - 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 - 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 £92.57 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 59 reviewsThe rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Samara. The staff (Cedric and Beatrix) at this property are all great! They all go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Las Perilitas is one of the best hotels in Samara. The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Costa Rica. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Pura-Vida.
SybrandNetherlands - From £95.29 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 269 reviewsThe owners were so personable as well as all the staff! They arranged an amazing turtle excursion for us where we saw hundreds of turtles hatching. Absolutely amazing! We were greeted on the first day of opening after being closed for Sept/Oct, we were surprised with an upgraded room. Our Casita was spectacular with an outdoor shower!The grounds are one of the prettiest we've seen in Costa Rica, lots of animals visiting us, raccoons and coatis. The pool was refreshing and there was a trail from the property to a secret beach.
BJStetchCanada - From £78.70 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 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

- 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 161 reviewsI loved my stay at Casa Terra! Samara was my first destination in Costa Rica, and the trip was my first as a solo female traveller. Andres and team made me feel welcomed, safe and included in the Casa Terra family. The dorms and kitchen are simple but clean. The common space out fun is really nice and perfect for socializing with others. Best part is the location, which is close to everything one needs: grocery store, soda & beach.
