TUKI TUKI, Loved this hotel! JP (The Owner) is the perfect host, always available to give you tips and help with anything you need. My stay at hotel TUKI TUKI lodge could not have been better. My room was super cozy and comfortable, and steps away from a small pool to cool off. JP is the perfect host, always available to give you tips and help with anything you need. The facilities were clean, and everything around was in good condition. This is probably the nicest room I stayed in in Costa Rica. Clean, cute property with lots of greenery, hot water, close by the beach and supermarket. Beautiful facility. I don't usually care to use a pool when I have an ocean to swim in... but in this case it was awesome to have access to both. The room had a fridge so that made getting a few things at the store, like yogurt and fruit and soda. The breakfast every morning was great. The good vibes within the place and other guests. I’m always looking for places where I can have a nice and tranquil days, well, this is the place if you want to do that. JP Thanks fore your friendship and hope to see you in the future.

Since the location is right in the centre of all the action, there will be times when the town is in full swing (particularly during the holidays and certain nights in high season), and there will be music from neighbouring bars and restaurants.

Very nice hotel and friendly/helpful staff. Close to the beach (2 minutes walk) and central. Would definetly recommend to stay here when you visit Sámara.

    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!
