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.

- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 273 reviewsThe owners were so personable as well as all the staff! They arranged an amazing turtle excursion for us where we saw hundreds of turtles hatching. Absolutely amazing! We were greeted on the first day of opening after being closed for Sept/Oct, we were surprised with an upgraded room. Our Casita was spectacular with an outdoor shower!The grounds are one of the prettiest we've seen in Costa Rica, lots of animals visiting us, raccoons and coatis. The pool was refreshing and there was a trail from the property to a secret beach.
BJStetchCanada - 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 39 reviewsThis stay was perfect! If you are looking for being in touch with Costa Rica’s wonderful nature then this is the place for you! Celine was the nicest and made sure everything was good for us. The tent is surprisingly comfortable, with very very little insects. However, if you do not like being around animals of if tiny bugs bother you it’s not worth to come and then complain :) just know what to expect and enjoy the wonderful shade under the florest trees, with families of monkeys and coatis walking around
CarolinaPortugal - From DKK 660.82 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 460 reviewsWe loved Casa Buenavista, Vincent met us on arrival and made us welcome. It was our first real stop in Costa Rica, and there were a couple of things we needed help with. A WhatsApp to Vincent, and all was resolved swiftly. The place is modern, very pretty with established gardens, beautiful lighting , two pools and everything works. It's also only a short walk to a stunning beach. It is a family run business, the whole place has a very chilled vibe you´d struggle to find somewhere more welcoming.
SimonSpain - From DKK 378.40 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 218 reviewsLovely, small Costa Rican family-owned hotel which is perfect for the casual traveller who wants a very friendly and non-American, in-county experience. Only 2 blocks from marvelous Samara beach! Comes with excellent breakfast, a lot of opportunity to speak Spanish and experience local pure vida and food. We celebrated New Year's Eve there with an EXCELLENT seafood dinner, with live music by the staff. Very fun, relaxing and mellow. Would definitely go back.
KristenUnited States - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 803 reviewsWe really liked this place. We had the basic quadruple room room with two bunk beds and shared bathroom. The shared bathroom was the best bathroom we had in Costa Rica. It had aircon as well. Plus where was a pool. Really liked the patio area we had with hammock, bench, chairs and table. Really liked the shared kitchen and the coffee on tap. Would stay here again. Very good value for money.
PaulUnited Kingdom - 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 773 reviewsThe restaurant is amazing, lovely setting under the huge tree canopy, the staff are delightful, the food was amazing. You have free beach beds and cushions included in your stay. The beach is one of the best beaches we visited so far up the west coast of Costa Rica. Perfect waves for jumping! Great places to eat and have a drink down the beach and the town of Samara is really lovely. Lovely people.
