Hotel Sol Sámara ★★★

"This hotel is great. Just a short walk to Playa Samara and a five minute drive to Play Corrilla. Town is just a 5 minute drive. Rooms were sparse but comfy. The AC was great! The staff was so kind and patient with our lack of Spanish. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and juice each morning as well as omelette, toast, and pancakes for choices. The road to get to it is very bumpy and is gravel. We were the only guests and they treated us so nicely!"

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 ★★★

"My family (2 adults + 2 kids) stayed at Villa Verdes for 8 nights and had a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. Our villa was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was fantastic and a great place to relax. The complimentary beach equipment available to borrow —umbrellas, boogie boards, flippers, floaties and more—was a fantastic perk and made pool time and exploring the beach even more fun.All of the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The location was excellent—close to restaurants, shops, and the beach, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying a quiet retreat. We also felt very safe throughout our stay and appreciated that the gates were locked at night and security was on-site. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Villas Verdes to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and secure getaway!"

Hotel Giada ★★★

Hotel Belvedere Playa Samara Costa Rica ★★

"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."

Soulara Hotel & Retreats ★★

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

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."

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

Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde ★★★

"We stayed in a well-equipped little hut with air-con (necessary), a kitchenette with all you need to make simple meals, and a beautiful porch with chairs and tables and a hammock, all tucked away and seculded in the jungle garden but 2 minutes from the pool. Bautiful beach is 15 mins walk away through the jungle, and Sámara beach - and others - are a short car ride. Breakfast was delicious - tried everything on the menu over our stay - and coffee was the best I've had. The staff were super helpful with everything; via them we booked the whale and dolphin tour with Octopus Tours, which was a superb way to spend a morning. "
