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.

- 8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 218 reviewsLovely, small Costa Rican family-owned hotel which is perfect for the casual traveller who wants a very friendly and non-American, in-county experience. Only 2 blocks from marvelous Samara beach! Comes with excellent breakfast, a lot of opportunity to speak Spanish and experience local pure vida and food. We celebrated New Year's Eve there with an EXCELLENT seafood dinner, with live music by the staff. Very fun, relaxing and mellow. Would definitely go back.KristenUnited States of America
- From $640.53 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 70 reviewsThis was all inclusive with variety of choices for meals, drinks and activities. My family loved it, it was best stay out of five places in Costa Rica. No problems with early checking in and late leaving (to get lunch after check out was not a problem). No problems with towels or daily cleaning of the room. Personnel and waitresses were very kind, excellent internet everywhere and free parking quite near. Peace and silence everywhere, health measures adequate.MiroslavSlovakia
- From $124.30 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 538 reviewsI've been to Costa Rica 5+ times and this is the best place that I've stayed! Super modern and stylish, very clean, comfy bed, cold air conditioning (which is important for me). The location is perfect. Staff were so nice and willing to help with any question or recommendation. Waking up to a healthy breakfast with fresh coffee on our patio was an extra bonus! Just do yourself a favor and book your stay here.
JohnUnited States of America - 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 271 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
