Hotel Sol Sámara ★★★

📍 From El Torito community 800 m East, Guanacaste Province, Samara

"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."

"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 ★★★

📍 150mts Oeste de Banco National de Costa Rica, Provincia de, Samara

"My husband and I have been traveling to Samara Costa Rica for 15+ years, usually staying during February to escape the cold northern temperatures. Samara is the perfect destination for that! Villas Verdes is located within easy walking distance to the incredible beach or the town center with nearby access to groceries stores and numerous restaurants and shops. Upon entering the grounds at Villas Verdes, you feel the outside world melt away. The beautiful well-maintained gardens and sparkling pools are inviting. The villas are pleasant, brilliantly colored, warm, and welcoming. There are various options with 1-3 bedroom villas available. All are exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated with well-appointed kitchens and comfortable beds. There is an affordable delicious breakfast offered on site. There is secure off-street parking available with a security guard monitoring the grounds and front gate at night. The owners Koriynne and Angelo are wonderful! The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. The front office ladies are very accommodating. They will help with making a reservations or advice on an excellent restaurant. I highly recommend staying at Villas Verdes!!!"

BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach
8.5 (25 reviews)

BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach ★★★

📍 Province, Samara

"I loved my time at this hotel! I came here as a solo traveler and felt very safe and also found that the small size of the hotel gave it more of a tight knit feel that made it easy to make friends at the hotel. I enjoyed chatting with Jaizel, Krystal, and Paloma and they were friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean, good breakfast, and in general a good value for the price."

Hotel Belvedere Playa Samara Costa Rica
9.4 (35 reviews)

Hotel Belvedere Playa Samara Costa Rica ★★

📍 Playa Samara, Calle Belvedere 100 metros east of ICE office Bldg 1, Guanacaste Province, Samara

"Great hotel at an excellent value. I lucked out and received a little cabin detached from the main building. Totally surprised by the accomodations with a pool right outside my door. The location was in town and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Samara. The room was clean and the amenities were great. I would definitey come again."

Samara Beach Hotel
8.1 (26 reviews)

Samara Beach Hotel ★★★

📍 Main Street, Via Arriba, Guanacaste Province, Samara

"We arrived to this hotel a few hours early for check in but we were given our room right away. I had emailed earlier and asked for a room away from the road which was requested. We stayed on the second floor which had a balcony that overlooked the pool. It was only a 2 minute walk to the beach close to lots of restaurants. This was the end of the stay so we just laid around the pool, walked the town and went to the beach. The bed was large and comfortable. The room was a good size with a big closet. This was my husband's first vacation and this hotel and area made him fall in love with travelling. We would stay here again. We met some great people. Breakfast was large and delicious. There was a large group of teens staying here with their school so at times it did get loud past quiet times. As they would be in the pool past close. Other than that it was a great stay."

Hotel Sol Sámara ★★★
"A perfect fit for me. Small, Quiet and Very Clean. I first met Cynthia at the front desk. She is fantastic and fun and can do it all! A short walk through a neighborhood and you’re on a scenic beach! Snorkeling was great fun. I hope to return to Hotel Sol Samara and their beach. Thanks Cynthia and Inez, ✌🏻 Molly"

Villas Verdes ★★★
"What a great place to stay. The rooms are like a small apartment, fully equipped kitchen (including blender, coffee maker and toaster, and a full sized refrigerator-freezer), TV, and AC (important here, it’s hot!). Very comfortable beds! Relaxing shady private patio with a countertop and table for enjoying breakfast outside with the birds and sounds of Howler monkeys, two refreshing swimming pools with plenty of shady lounge areas. The staff was friendly and did an exceptional job with cleaning the rooms and tending to the grounds. Also, this place is easy walking distance to everything. Less than 10 minutes to all restaurants shops and the beach. Security gate is locked after dark so security is good although Samara feels safe as it is. It’s a great value also. Definitely recommend!"

BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach ★★★
"We spent a week at Intercultura Spanish clsses (A+++ also) and stayed here at this chicly appointed boutique property. It was a delight -- all the comforts and so reasonably priced, plus a refreshing, flower-lined courtyard pool for after-class dips. I loved that it was just a small stretch from the main hustle and bustle of town, but still 5 minutes walking distance and two minutes by golf cart. A little "soda" aka cafe next door fueled us the whole time economically and deliciously. Loved the front desk staff at Bellavista, who were so helpful with recommendations and tours. Also and of note -- incredible views of the clear field with horses and cows across the street and the ocean just beyond that. Totally unobstructed and we walked to that more remote entrance of the beach every day!"

Hotel Belvedere Playa Samara Costa Rica ★★
"Nice clean, convenient location in Samara. The rooms and pool were very nice. I would not recommend the breakfast but there are many places to eat nearby. About a 5 minute walk to the beach. One of the nicer places in Samara. The staff were all very nice and responsive to all of our needs"

Samara Beach Hotel ★★★
"Spent 2 nights there. Each room has a patio in front with 2 chairs, the pool was really nice, short walk to the beach (2-3 blocks), small fridge in the room. Breakfast buffet was included. Located right in the middle of town. Easy walking to many restaurants."

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 El Pequeño Gecko Verde ★★★
"⸻ Wondeful vacation Our stay at El Pequeño Gecko Verde was wonderful. We were here with our daughter, son-in-law, and two very young grandchildren. This intimate resort is beautifully located in the jungle. It has a swimming pool and serves delicious, very varied breakfasts. The place is spotless and extremely well maintained. On the grounds of Gecko Verde live a family of raccoons, coatis, and armadillos. We could also hear monkeys in the surrounding jungle, which made the experience even more special. The owner and the entire staff are amazing, kind, and always helpful. The gentleman and lady at the reception are wonderful and very supportive. We would like to thank the whole team sincerely for everything. If we have the opportunity, we would love to come back someday. Joanna with her family from Poland (Sopot)"
