Hotel Sol Sámara ★★★

"We went there for dinner because our nearby resort was, overall, a very poor experience. They accommodated our last minute reservation and the dinner was great. Establishment was cute and clean. Yes, a little slow getting our mojitos but still a good experience."

Hotel Giada ★★★

Sandy Toes Hostel ★★

"Rooms: Classic hostel bedrooms with all the amenities. The walls are quite thin and you can hear everything. Service: Everything was very straightforward, and the girls who worked there are all lovely and helpful. Location: The location is amazing. Two blocks down from the beach, and there are bars and restaurants all around. Definitely a great place to stay if you are looking to socialize."

Villas Verdes ★★★

"We LOVED staying in Villa 6! We had two 19 year olds with us so we wanted somewhere with space for us to spread out, pools, and easy walking around town. We were at the back of the property which was quieter than the front (near the road). We had ample space to spread out, towels were provided for the shower as well as the pool. The staff was very friendly. There was no housekeeping on Sunday but every other day we were there they cleaned the villa. We loved sitting outside on our patio. This villa is one story with no other rooms above with other people it is attached to another villa but we didn't hear anything inside through the walls. The reception staff was able to help us book a massage therapist to come give us massages on our patio. The pools were amazing and refreshing. We felt safe and secure on the property day and night. The gate is closed at 8:30pm and a security guard is at the gate all night. Our vehicle was park inside the property fence. Excellent restaurants on either side of the villas and right across the street from a grocery store. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

La Flor de Coco ★★★

"I spent a few months in this terrible place cause I didn't not have another option. Owners are living onsite and looking at everything you do. They get annoyed by everything whole they watch you on camera, then they send you messages to ask you not to let kids splash in the pool. The place we stayed was filthy, dust everywhere because the apartment didn't have windows up top, just a mosquito screen and crap smells from the drains. Owner mid twenties daughter and son operate this chicken coop sh$#& hole, who are extremely passive aggressive and fake. Walls were paper thing and windows didn't seal so I woke up many nights at midnight 1 or 2 am to cigarettes smoke that filled my bedroom from people smoking down by the pool. The place is on the main 160 highway, only road through town, loud motorcycles, cars and trucks woke me up on a regular basis. Same hotel people will party and keep you up cause nothing is sound proof. Hotel laundry matching at 11 pm woke me many times. Gladly low season started and I could find another place in town. Never come to this place, save your headache and money."

Hotel Belvedere Playa Samara Costa Rica ★★

"Gutes, familiär geführtes Hotel mit schöner Gartenanlage, gut ausgestatteten Zimmern, bequemen Betten und gutem Frühstück. Der Samara-Strand ist fußläufig schnell erreichbar. Leider ist die Lärmbelastung durch die anliegenden Straßen zeitweise enorm."

Soulara Hotel & Retreats ★★

"It's the perfect location to learn the meaning "Pura vida""

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only ★★★★

BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach ★★★

"The Room was OK with a fake plastic window, the smell of the bathroom was so bad, I needed to go outside behind the car to take a dump. We put the fan on full throttle into the bathroom. To add to that the beach is around 1,4 KM away. Try to not go there."
