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.

- 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 770 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 - 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 40 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 $135.60 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 118 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
- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 272 reviewsIt was far away from the tourist area of Samara Beach. We hiked 10. minutes through forest to get to what felt like our very own beach. There also were other beaches within walking distance that were beautiful . .Buena Vista is one. Waves were amazing. The staff was very personable and helpful. The owner is very accommodating. The grounds, bungalows, and pool were beautiful. I highly recommend this place.cristinaUnited States of America
- 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 809 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.

The restaurant was very good. All staff spoke excellent English and were very attentive. The room was spacious and had nice seating.

The staff immediately were welcoming and always ensured I was safe, supplied me with awesome recommendations and even went on excursions or to dinner with me. 11/10 would go back and recommend to all my friends and family. I miss them already.
