Book a hotel near Samara Beach, Sámara

"We booked 10 nights here in November. As luck would have it, Costa Rica and Guanacaste in particular received unusually high rainfall even for the end of rainy season, and it rained every day for us. The apartment was so nice to hang out in when we couldn’t venture out, so roomy, nicely decorated and equipped, with a couple of great spots to hang out and watch the world go by. It was super clean, had everything we needed, and the owner, Deborah, was fantastic. Everything as advertised. As some people have noted, it’s on the main road, but it’s pretty interesting to watch the traffic! Not all that noisy especially at night. Beautiful pool area shared with only one other apartment. Small store two blocks away towards the beach when you need something quickly, lots of supermarkets in Sámara proper. About a 15-20 minute walk to town along the beach. 2000 colones ($4) taxi ride back from town when you’re laden down with groceries. Situated above Wingnuts Canopy Tours, nice guys, Claudio there speaks good English and can be very helpful with travel arrangements.Howler monkeys in the forest preserve above are fun to listen to."

"Tropical Storm Sara was the plus one for our group of nine but she didn't stop us from having a great time. House was clean and comfortable, and we had everything we needed to cook our meals right at the house when we didn't want to venture out for the night."

"The staff and service were excellent. We came at the beginning of the tourist season so we almost had the resort to ourselves. Staff made sure we always were well fed and drink in hand. Truly a gem. Also, fast WiFi was great for the rainy days where we lounged on the deck watching movies. "

"The Hideaway was beautiful, The staff is incredible and so helpful and friendly, the food was delicious!! The only downside was the road to get there was REALLY bad, full of deep potholes. It would be nice if the Hideaway and other properties could divide the cost and lay some rocks, or at least fill the really big holes! Other than that, Perfect!!! "

"Excellent"

"Nice quiet little hotel located on the main street in Samara. Close to shops, restuarants and bars. Nice swimming pool and good WIFI. Clean and comfortable room."
