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.

- From $92.66 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 60 reviewsThe rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Samara. The staff (Cedric and Beatrix) at this property are all great! They all go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Las Perilitas is one of the best hotels in Samara. The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Costa Rica. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Pura-Vida.
SybrandNetherlands - From $90.40 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 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 of America - From $101.70 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 462 reviewsCasa Buenavista is a beautiful, well-organized, clean, stylish and very chill bed&breakfast, located on just a 10min walking distance of the most beautiful beach of Costa Rica, Carillo Beach. The hosts have done their utmost best to make this place a little paradise... at a paradise beach. Beware, the breakfast is huge, and although based on the typical gallo pinto, the variations will make you happy.

RadekCzech Republic - 9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 98 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 of America
- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 272 reviewsThis place is absolutely worth it in terms of value for money! Samara has been the most authentic place of our Costa Rica trip, and that’s mostly thanks to our stay at El Pequeño Gecko Verde! Houses are authentic and very clean, breakfast is superb, location is a bit further away from Samara’s main Center but definitely doable and therefore also more quiet.
LiezeBelgium - From $146.90 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 726 reviewsI loved the location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. 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 of America

When you walk inside the tropical landscape of the hotel grounds you leave the busy, disheveled town vibe of Samara behind.
