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· 770 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 $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

ThomasGermany - From $70.06 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 498 reviewsThis hostel is in the heart of Sámara, great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing fancy just a good room for the price and can walk to everything. 7 minute walk to the beach. Grocery stores across the street and restaurants all around you. Go on the dolphin tour, for $50 US it was four hours long. We watched dolphins for over half and hour then we watched 8 humpbacks for about 35 to 40 mins, it was amazing!!!!!
LeanneCanada - 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 995 reviewsThe whole hotel is set in the jungle and it makes the whole place look stunning. The pools are great and the gardens surrounding them are very well looked after. The rooms are made exactly like the photos and are fully equipped with everything you’d need. Issues we had with the room were dealt with immediately. The hosts are lovely and extremely helpful. This is the best place we’ve staying in in Costa Rica and it’s great value for money.
EllieUnited Kingdom - 9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 149 reviewsThe place is amazing and peaceful. It is calm, safe, very clean and the rooms are big - especially the bathroom with hot shower was really comfortable (extraordinary for Costa Rica). Federica and Roborto are super friendly and open to give advice about the surrounding area. Also I would like to mention the great really special breakfast and the yoga classes in the morning! Everyone that stays in Samara should visit this great hotel.EgliSwitzerland
- From $111.87 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 731 reviewsWonderful hotel on beachfront. Rooms were dark and quiet enough for sleeping. Staff were very friendly and arranged to do our laundry for us. We enjoyed a nice ceviche lunch and Happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails. Samara is a really lovely place. Lively and great restaurants and yet we didn’t encounter any rowdy tourists so very relaxing stay. Great beach and waves for beginner surfing. Try Patos surf school. We didn’t want to leave.DanielUnited Kingdom

ZoeCanada - From $129.95 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 364 reviewsIt’s a small hotel, pretty quite, walking distance to one part of Samara beach and 5 mins by car to playa Carrillo (very nice beach especially at sunset). The hotel has all the key features, big beds, A/C, small nice swimming pool. The onsite restaurant is a decent option or Samara restaurants are at 10 mins by car (Ahora si is an excellent Italian one).ValentinaUnited Kingdom
