    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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 location was excellent, five minute walk to one of the nicest beach’s in Costa Rica. we stayed in the “Bungalow” which was a stand alone unit with full fridge and stove, we did not make us of the stove as there are a few great restaurants within a few minutes walk. there are also two small “grocery” stores close by. the breakfast that Millie served each morning was excellent, 4 or 5 different options, I think I had them all! we would not hesitate to stay here again!

    The 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.

    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!

    It was an amazing experience, with the hotel being located in the middle of Samara and really close (walking distance) to the beach! The rooms with the garden view were nice and spacious with a king sized bed and a adequately sized bathroom. The pool areas were also amazing with two pools and a beautiful landscape and garden. The balconies overlooked the yard and had a table with chairs to enjoy the atmosphere.

    It 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.

    The lodge and gardens were exceptionally designed and rooms were modern, bright and airy but maintained a distinctly Costa Rican feel. Hosts/owners were super-friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them; they organized a number of local tours for us and these, and all their dining recommendations were great! I would not hesitate to stay again or recommend this exceptional place to anyone.

    This 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.

The apartment was spacious, kitchen fully equipped with everything you would need, bed was comfortable, and the AC worked great. We cooked our own breakfast, and easily walked to town and the beach. The staff is also very helpful. If we ever come back, that's where we're staying.

    What a nice small hotel with a delicious breakfast. The restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner as well as drinks throughout the day. The pool is nice with a few lounge chairs and umbrellas. It is a short walk to one of the nicest beaches in the area. (better than Playa Carrillo in my opinion)
