Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach.
Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach. There are many other beaches nearby. It has quite a few restaurants and cafes to choose from. Lots of great fish. Prices are "reasonable" by comparison with some fancier locations along the coast, but all prices in US dollars are high for Canadians. Just two hours from Liberia airport, this town has a laid back feel. Not sure how long that will last.

Samara is a funky little beach town with lots of little eateries and shops, and a number of restaurants right on the beach undercover with enough variety to make it interesting. There were also enough activities and beaches in the area to enjoy.

This is a great little town with a beautiful beach and yummy food options. We wish we could have spent more time here to explore the different restaurants a bit more. We hope to come back soon! We also really enjoyed the neighboring beach of Carrillo, which we drove to - but it didn't have food options the way Samara did.LuanUnited States - 10Scored 10

A wonderful walkable town with many restaurants, excellent couple massages, friendly community, and beautiful beaches. I did the Warner preserve tour with a native Samarian - he was EXCELLENT - a fantastic visit. My husband and I are thinking about coming back and staying much longer. The community seems very low key - just the right pace for us :)BuschUnited States - 10Scored 10
Very easy to get around.
Very easy to get around. Everything is close and you feel safe walking there. Very friendly local people. I would recommend checking out the restaurants Las Olas, AhoraSi, Mana, Malehu coffee shop, L'Ulvio, and the Saturday local market.AlexandraUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
The beach and ocean are beautiful.
The beach and ocean are beautiful. There are lots of restaurants and fun bars to have a drink. The city government has to work harder at keeping the town clean. Sidewalks, store fronts and some restaurants need to be improved, there were so many flies at one of the restaurants where we ate, that we ended up having to leave. There is very limited parking, there should be a place where excursion buses can park further away from town, it feels chaotic.

- From SEK 1,012.97 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 58 reviewsThe rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Samara. The staff (Cedric and Beatrix) at this property are all great! They all go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Las Perilitas is one of the best hotels in Samara. The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Costa Rica. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Pura-Vida.
SybrandNetherlands - From SEK 1,012.97 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 460 reviewsThe location was excellent, five minute walk to one of the nicest beach’s in Costa Rica. we stayed in the “Bungalow” which was a stand alone unit with full fridge and stove, we did not make us of the stove as there are a few great restaurants within a few minutes walk. there are also two small “grocery” stores close by. the breakfast that Millie served each morning was excellent, 4 or 5 different options, I think I had them all! we would not hesitate to stay here again!BrentCanada
- From SEK 738.87 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 498 reviewsCozy hostel in a great location in the centre of Sámara and close to the beach, and within walking distance to everywhere else you might need. Very nice staff and clean and comfortable rooms, big and well equipped communal kitchen and a nice seating space. Fast WiFi and a typical Costa Rican soda restaurant attached to the hostel complete the services. There's also a laundry service but I didn't actually need to use it so cannot comment on speed/quality of that.MaarikaSwitzerland
- From SEK 953.38 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 314 reviewsWe had a room on the 1st floor, with a balcony . Sitting there felt like being in the jungle! Jammi and the 2 male staff were friendly and helpful. 5 to 10 minute drive in to Samara for restaurants, shops, medical centre etc. Jammi provides pasta or fish dinner if you don't want to go out in the evening. Same sort of price as restaurants. Beach not as pretty as many in Costa Rica but wide and probably good for families. Paddling pool on site. Free parkingSharonUnited Kingdom
- From SEK 1,139.53 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 172 reviewsThe hut is owned by a person of European descent which may be the reason why the usual drawbacks of accommodations in Costa Rica were absent here: There were no loose water taps, non-functional power outlets or the like; everything was well maintained and selected with a great love for details. The hut is best equipped, cozy and in the middle of the jungle. The other reviewers did not exaggerate: You really can watch the monkeys while doing the dishes.MatthiasGermany
- From SEK 774.62 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 988 reviewsThe whole hotel is set in the jungle and it makes the whole place look stunning. The pools are great and the gardens surrounding them are very well looked after. The rooms are made exactly like the photos and are fully equipped with everything you’d need. Issues we had with the room were dealt with immediately. The hosts are lovely and extremely helpful. This is the best place we’ve staying in in Costa Rica and it’s great value for money.
EllieUnited Kingdom - 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 145 reviewsThe place is amazing and peaceful. It is calm, safe, very clean and the rooms are big - especially the bathroom with hot shower was really comfortable (extraordinary for Costa Rica). Federica and Roborto are super friendly and open to give advice about the surrounding area. Also I would like to mention the great really special breakfast and the yoga classes in the morning! Everyone that stays in Samara should visit this great hotel.EgliSwitzerland
- From SEK 774.62 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 602 reviewsIt was an amazing experience, with the hotel being located in the middle of Samara and really close (walking distance) to the beach! The rooms with the garden view were nice and spacious with a king sized bed and a adequately sized bathroom. The pool areas were also amazing with two pools and a beautiful landscape and garden. The balconies overlooked the yard and had a table with chairs to enjoy the atmosphere.KarinSwitzerland
