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· 771 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 $90.40 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 438 reviewsHonestly could not fault this property, we stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our trip and it was a perfect way to finish an incredible stay in Costa Rica. All the rooms face onto the beautiful gardens and pool, with a small seating area for each room which was a very peaceful and quiet area. Breakfast was cooked fresh each morning, and each breakfast was different and absolutely delicious! The staff are so friendly and are happy to help with anything. Would definitely stay here again!LauraUnited Kingdom
- From $108.05 per night9.5Scored 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.
MatthiasGermany - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 51 reviewsGarden: well-maintained with beautiful flowers. my wife really likes. Shower and bath room: very large space. Beach: it is located rip current. but we enjoyed sitting down in front of the beach.The hotel provides several shade between trees. we moved the beach chairs to one of them and enjoyed a relaxing time. Breakfast: basic but enough and tasty. we can choose one from 4 options Restaurant: no restaurant for lunch and dinner.
Tsukasa SuzukiJapan - From $100.57 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 734 reviewsAmazing location right on the beach in Samara! 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!
