Rooms dirty, security is a 10 cent latch, restaurant is lousy. Very hot - fan was too small and too weak. Pool and bar both good. Rooms cheap, but certainly get no more than you pay for.

Quiet neighborhood, baked onto a field with farm animals. Lovely pool, which was very welcome with the hot temperature outside. Close walk to town or to the beach. There was several grocery stores in the area. "Soda's" were are favorite eating places. There was a great variety offering local dishes and gelanti. The manager was very helpful.

Inner light lodge is an oasis of peace, serenity and harmony located in a central position, very close to the beach and the various restaurants.
We loved the silence, the spaciousness of the rooms equipped with all comforts, the veranda where a rich breakfast prepared by the hosts with cake and fruit was served.
Last but not least, the possibility of a yoga class in the morning which Federica leads with professionalism and care. Highly recommended

The accommodation was clean and the room had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and the room was only a short walk from the pool and restaurant. Breakfast was delicious. A plate of fresh fruit with coffee, followed by a choice of cooked breakfasts was sufficient to keep us going. The staff were lovely, always smiling and happy to help with anything. The restaurant served delicious meals using locally caught fish and the brownie is the best we have tasted. The hotel sits between 2 lovely beaches that are easy to access and don't get crowded. There is a lot of wildlife around and the hotel is visited regularly by howler monkeys, motmots and iguanas. The hotel is a nice distance from Samara to avoid the hustle and bustle but near enough to walk into the town for a meal or shopping.

Well... I had booked two nights and ended up staying an extra day at this well-run and relaxed place in Carrillo.
Vincent and his family gave us a warmly welcome and made our stay very pleasant. Their homemade breakfast is exquisite with the panqueques and jams far above anything (You must try it)
The room is nicely decorated and very confortable and has a private terrasse for breakfast, the garden is beautiful, the place is very quiet, and the Carrillo beach is just 350 meters away.
But what this place makes really that special are the hosts themselves, they are so friendly and always took time to talk to us although they had a lot of things to manage, they helped us whenever we needed.
We'll certainly be back!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
The most INCREDIBLE hostel and place to stay on the Pacific Coast. The new owners are amazing, the staff is friendly and warm, and Liz and Nico were especially helpful in making sure my stay was as fun and comfortable as possible. I stayed in the Jungle Dorm as a solo female traveler for 2 weeks and wish I could have stayed even longer. While there are limited amenities, this is the place go for making friends, having fun, and just generally partaking in the best vibes in Samara Beach.
The accommodation is located just outside the centre and is therefore very quiet. However, the centre of Samara and the beach are only a few minutes' walk away. The hotel also has plenty of parking spaces.
The hotel complex is nestled in a beautiful tropical garden. The rooms are very large, stylishly furnished and offer a lot. We really appreciated the small balcony so that we could enjoy a coffee every morning at sunrise with a view of the garden. The rooms are very clean.
We 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 parking
Garden: well-maintained with beautiful flowers. my wife really likes.
Shower and bath room: very large space.
Beach: it is located rip current. but we enjoyed sitting down in front of the beach.The hotel provides several shade between trees. we moved the beach chairs to one of them and enjoyed a relaxing time.
Breakfast: basic but enough and tasty. we can choose one from 4 options
Restaurant: no restaurant for lunch and dinner.
I loved my stay at Casa Terra! Samara was my first destination in Costa Rica, and the trip was my first as a solo female traveller. Andres and team made me feel welcomed, safe and included in the Casa Terra family. The dorms and kitchen are simple but clean. The common space out fun is really nice and perfect for socializing with others. Best part is the location, which is close to everything one needs: grocery store, soda & beach.
LaMaite is a very special place, tranquil, spacious, the kids loved the pool! Maite, our hostess, was wonderful, warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable recommending beaches and places to visit. We loved the welcome Costa Rica breakfast and other treats, Maite made for us.We rented bicycles from the soda on the corner for our first week and had a car for the latter part of our visit to explore further. Smiles 😊 🙂 Jody and Family
The property was absolutely spectacular. The pool was surrounded by lush greenery, the restaurant was beautiful, and right on the beach with delicious food and drinks. The beach was gorgeous and the ocean was safe for all my kids to play in. The location of the hotel was perfect - right on the beach and a block from town. The beach was also very walkable. It truly felt like paradise on the grounds of this hotel.
We had a wonderful stay here for e few nights. The hotel rooms were great and very comfortable. The pools and the restaurant were outstanding. What we loved the most is the shuttle and the provided chairs at the nearby beach by the hotel. The Playa Carrillo was on our whole trip the most beutiful beach of Costa Rica we have seen so far. We enjoyed our stay here so much, thank you!
Vince and his mother provided the best service we have experienced during all our travels. the property was well maintained and lovely. it is located conveniently near sodas and restaurants. it is a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica! The breakfasts are indescribably delicious!
The location was beautiful and so peaceful in nature. My room was great and the hotel pool was nice. The nearby beach was way less crowded than the other beaches I went to, only a handful of people there each day. The food at the restaurant was really good, it felt like getting a home cooked meal!
Everything Really, the staff is very nice, the location was fabulous, the rooms are big and spacious, big bed, nice shower. In Costa Rica we are only into local food... This hotel has also a italian restaurant, the plates looked amazing...we didn't have dinner but the smell was amazing...
1) The location: amazing, feet-in-the-sand on a beautiful beach in the quiet side of town. Yes, you are sleeping 200ft from the waves and that on its own, is something you don’t get anywhere.
2) The cleanliness: Very clean (per Costa Rican standards)
The room and share areas like the pool were clean. They offer pool and beach towel which is convenient for light packers. Also there is a very good Italian restaurant in the first floor were you get 20% off if you are staying in the hotel.
It was the best hotel I had in Costa Rica. Very beautiful place with dedicated owners. Playa Carillo is in a walking distance of approx. 5 minutes. The room was very nice and clean with a beautiful tropical shower. Very good breakfast.
The staff is very friendly and always ready to help you. The food is excellent and at reasonable price. Confortable beach chairs. The hotel location is quiete and close to Samara city center.
Lovely hosts, good location on the edge of Samara and an easy walk to the beach and local area. The pool was a refreshing treat, gardens beautiful and a really pretty hotel.
Totaly nice couple, that runs this hotel! Was a pleasure to meet them! The stay there was the best we had in Costa Rica! Just amazing. Nice rooms, good located, great staff.
