Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

We loved Samara.

We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef...

We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef protecting the bay, so it is safe to swim for everyone in the family. The beach is clean and nice sand for walking. There are a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores for eating out or cooking in your apartment.

Samara is wonderful.

Samara is wonderful. It's a touristy beach town, but a very low-key one. The beach was never terribly crowded, the restaurants were never very crowded, and it was not full of obnoxious, loud partiers. Just a laid-back place full of friendly people.

Very laid back small village.

Very laid back small village. Tourists were very chill during my month long stay. Food at sodas and restaurants was very tasty. Do not expect resort type accomodations. A true surfer would go elsewhere but I saw many people getting their first rides here. Everything is walkable. I attended Intercultura Spanish Immersion School for 4 weeks. I hope to return for another month next year. All residentss appeared to enjoy their lives with quiet contentment.

That place is amazing. If you are looking for a more authentic Costa Rica vibe, it’s the place. You really feel connected with nature in the hostel. The trees around it is home to many animals, including monkeys, lizards, frogs, birds and lot of other. I stayed there 1 week and I felt that the hostel helped me to slow down. The owners are there from time to time and were super friendly. Finally, as the place isn’t so big, you really feel a community vibe with the hostel’s volunteers and the guest. I’ll come back!

I loved how welcoming all the staff were, I immediately felt comfortable and at home. I was greeted with a cold cloth and beautiful drink. After staying in an Airbnb for a week in the rain, I was so excited to sleep in a clean, air conditioned room with all the amenities. The staff did my laundry and brought to my room, the free breakfast was outstanding!! The coffee was the best so far on my trip to Costa Rica. I cannot thank you all enough for your hospitality and attention to detail.

The room/bathroom is a bit outdated, but very clean and has everything you need. Very close to the sea, and a nice 15-20 minute walk to Samara (along the beach). I personally liked that the hotel wasn’t in the center, especially if you have a car the distance to Samara is no problem. There is a possibility to have dinner at the hotel (not every day).

You won't find more helpful and genuine hosts anywhere.. If you're reading this, just book it. An amazing magical place, full of high quality design & character. Plus it's a minutes walk to one of the best beaches in Costa Rica (according to the guide books, and I would agree). Very private & quiet with scarlet macaws overhead !

The bungalow was great with air conditionning, directly on the beach. That was pur best place in costa rica. Breakfast is really really good, the sea just at the door is fantastic. Just pleasure.
