With river views, this accommodation provides a patio and a swimming pool. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the pool and garden.

Everything was perfect, the host, Xavier was really kind and fully available. The place was great, clean and perfect for a family escape. The pool, the fruit's ree (lemon, grapefruit, etc), the location, 5 min from Samra and Carillo beach, make this place a unavoidable. I'll recommend for sure to anyone, it worth the price (not too expensive, we were the mid November).

Situated in Sámara, 1 km from Samara Beach, Tuki Tuki Lodge offers accommodation with a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk and room service for guests.

The nearest airport is Nosara Airport, 17 km from the hotel.

You will immediately feel at home at Tuki Tuki Lodge thanks to the wonderful and very kind hosts and owners J.P. and Flori. J.P. enjoys giving an intro to town for new guests with his very own TukTuk, a fun way to explore Sámara for the first time! Rooms are big and in excellent shape with fan and A/C, fridge and microwave oven, Smart TV and good WiFi. Bed very comfortable, very nice bathroom and everything super clean! The lodge is a bit outside of town but no problem with a bicycle, scooter or the like. Next supermarket, 10min walk. There is also a pool and a bar/restaurant on the property. On weekends the bar / restaurant usually features some live music and fills with expats and locals. For us (married couple) Tuki Tuki was seriously among our top 2 hotel experiences during our 6 week stint in Cost Rica. We would certainly love to return anytime.

    We loved the breakfasts! Something different prepared every day, they bring in chefs, everything is very tasty and beautifully presented. A very intimate setting too, great for chatting to other guests and the host, Jenna, who was enthusiastic and attentive. Loved the hammock chairs, beautifully placed for watching the sunset. Room was very clean and was kept very clean during our stay. Only about a 15 min stroll into town (I think quite a few reviews put this as a downside but it’s an easy walk), quiet location.

    Our host Sophia was very kind and accommodating, the location was excellent with very little noise from the surrounding community and the private Courtyard gave a wonderful sense of quiet and privacy. Being one block from the beach and one block from the grocery store makes this an ideal location and the cost value of the accommodations is excellent.

    Very nice spot. Very clean bungalow. Kitchen has everthing you need and also very clean. Always hot water, good water pressure. Moskitonets everywhere. Pool and garden very clean and well-kept. The last part of the street very bumpy, but you can do it slowly without a 4x4. Location in the nature, but still close to Sàmara. You need a car to get there. Parking was safe. Very good price!
