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!"

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."

Hotel Giada ★★★

Samara Beach Hotel ★★★

"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."

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."

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."

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

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"

Soulara Hotel & Retreats ★★

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