We liked that the hotel was almost on the beach, a sort walk over the beach from the town. The rooms were clean and modern with airco. Breakfast on the beach was a plus. Also the bar/restaurant was nice.

This accomodation was our favourite one in Costa Rica. The hosts are super lovely and give you any support you need. The position of the lodge is ideal to get to the beach or to the next supermarket. The rooms are beautiful and the pool was perfect. 10/10

This is a beautiful jungle location with quiet nights awoken only by the howler monkeys overhead in the morning. The kitchen is outfitted sufficiently for meal prep and the local supermarket is well stocked. The staff were lovely and proudly keep the place in top notch condition. The secret beach was amazing. Cabins are nicely spaced apart. Recommend having a car for this location, since the walk from town is do-able yet dusty.

Friendly and welcoming host and staff. The location was very good, being just a 7 minute walk from the beach and a few minutes from local convenience stores and restaurants. Breakfast buffet in the morning had a wide selection of options. The bus stop towards San Jose and other towns is around the corner from the hotel. The room was exactly as we expected it to be.

Nathan and his family are the best hosts we have had the opportunity to meet on our trip to Costa Rica! This accommodation is really worth it - amazing breakfast, equipped kitchen, coffee available all day. Nice pool and even better views. Their commitment is great and they did everything they could to make us enjoy our stay. 15 minutes to amazing beaches. We prefer Carrillo beach but others were also very nice.

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

We loved Samara.

We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef protecting the bay, so it is safe to swim for everyone in the family. The beach is clean and nice sand for walking. There are a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores for eating out or cooking in your apartment.

Samara is wonderful.

Samara is wonderful. It's a touristy beach town, but a very low-key one. The beach was never terribly crowded, the restaurants were never very crowded, and it was not full of obnoxious, loud partiers. Just a laid-back place full of friendly people.

Very laid back small village.

Very laid back small village. Tourists were very chill during my month long stay. Food at sodas and restaurants was very tasty. Do not expect resort type accomodations. A true surfer would go elsewhere but I saw many people getting their first rides here. Everything is walkable. I attended Intercultura Spanish Immersion School for 4 weeks. I hope to return for another month next year. All residentss appeared to enjoy their lives with quiet contentment.

A little piece of paradise, Andre and Rainer went above and beyond for me. Any request I had was immediately accommodated, Andre even got me some bug spray from Samara. They took me to the white sand beach, Rainer showed me the aloe vera when I had too much sun and even dropped me off for my next location. My room was beautiful, the best shower I've had in Costa Rica! The restaurant is very comfortable for hanging out, and the food is incredible. I can go on and on. Amazing hosts, thank you so much.

The hotel is impeccably clean and cozy with a delicious breakfast and an ideal swimming pool. The room was very well equipped and shower with hot water and good pressure 🙂 the family running the place were super kind and helpful and made the most welcoming atmosphere. Walking distance to closest beach 5 minutes and it was easy to park even a big car. Honestly even better than we expected and would easily recommend to friends or come back if again in Costa Rica!

We live in Costa Rica and escape to Samara as often as possible. We have stayed Casa Maiana for many years under prior and found the new owners Thierry and Christina to be gracious, welcoming and available to answer any questions you have. Casa Maiana is perfectly located for discovering Samara on foot - close to the beach, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets but off the beaten path and quiet. Highly recommend!

The best hostel in Costa Rica. All the staff and owners were very friendly. They made our stay very enjoyable and different. We loved the energy. The place is very clean and confortable and the outside space is lovely. The house makes you feel at home, you'll probably extend your stay ;) Eva & Célia
