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.ChristaCanada - 10Scored 10

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.

- Avg. price/night: $145.779.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 209 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…
SamYoung couple - Avg. price/night: $70.068.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 498 reviewsCozy hostel in a great location in the centre of Sámara and close to the beach, and within walking distance to everywhere else you might need. Very nice staff and clean and comfortable rooms, big and well equipped communal kitchen and a nice seating space. Fast WiFi and a typical Costa Rican soda restaurant attached to the hostel complete the services. There's also a laundry service but I didn't actually need to use it so cannot comment on speed/quality of that.
MaarikaSolo traveler - Avg. price/night: $108.059.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 171 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.MatthiasYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: $70.068.2Scored 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!!!!!

We booked the second floor apartment that had a balcony overlooking the beach. Beautiful views and quiet area. We ate lunch in the Cafe and breakfast too - the food was delicious. Xinia was for helpful. It was renovated last year and the rooms are comfortable and clean. I highly recommend it for a water front boutique hotel at a value price! I would definitely stay again!HEIDIFamily with young children
- 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 805 reviewsWe really liked this place. We had the basic quadruple room room with two bunk beds and shared bathroom. The shared bathroom was the best bathroom we had in Costa Rica. It had aircon as well. Plus where was a pool. Really liked the patio area we had with hammock, bench, chairs and table. Really liked the shared kitchen and the coffee on tap. Would stay here again. Very good value for money.
PaulFamily with young children - Avg. price/night: $73.458.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 596 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.BBrettFamily with young children
