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 - 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.

- From € 134.66 per night9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 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…
SamUnited Kingdom - From € 64.72 per night8.2Scored 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.
MaarikaSwitzerland - From € 99.82 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
- From € 83.51 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 436 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.MollyUnited States
- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 806 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.
PaulUnited Kingdom - 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 97 reviewsBy far, our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica! A perfect oasis, a true garden of eden. Not only were the grounds kept perfectly and the bungalows gorgeous, but Emma and her sweet family made it feel like home. The pool area was also so wonderful and peaceful, lots of cozy little nooks to chill out in and birds and iguanas everywhere. If I could give it 6 stars I would! Highly recommend!!!KKori and JackUnited States
- From € 67.85 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 595 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.BBrettCanada

The included breakfast was a really nice bonus and the restaurant is right on the beach. The hotel is situated two blocks from the main street so it was quiet with less traffic. The town is very walkable. I really enjoyed our stay and will definitely choose Locanda if we go back to Samara.KimberlyUnited States

KraemerCanada - 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 266 reviewsEasy walking distance to the town of Samara. When you walk inside the tropical landscape of the hotel grounds you leave the busy, disheveled town vibe of Samara behind.
