A true paradise. We booked only two nights and I wished we stayed longer. Our bungalow hidden in lush garden was very comfortable and super clean. The outdoor shower was amazing. Swimming pool was a highlight for our 12 years old as well as funky coaties that hang around the premises.

Larisa
From
United Kingdom
Las Perlitas is a great place to stay in Costa Rica. First and foremost, the owner Cedric is the epitome of hospitality. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with genuine warmth and a wealth of knowledge about the local area. His recommendations for activities and dining were spot-on, and he was always available to assist with any inquiries or requests we had. The cleanliness of the accommodation was impeccable, with every detail attended to with care. From the pristine linens to the sparkling bathroom, it was evident that the owners take great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property. The rooms themselves were thoughtfully designed with comfort and style in mind. The furnishings were modern and inviting. Overall, my experience at Las Perlitas surpassed my expectations. The combination of exceptional hospitality, convenience, cleanliness, and well-designed accommodations makes it a true gem in paradise. I cannot recommend this property highly enough and look forward to returning again in the future.

    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 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.

    Nathan and his family are the best hosts we have had the opportunity to meet on our trip to Costa Rica! This accommodation is really worth it - amazing breakfast, equipped kitchen, coffee available all day. Nice pool and even better views. Their commitment is great and they did everything they could to make us enjoy our stay. 15 minutes to amazing beaches. We prefer Carrillo beach but others were also very nice.

    The family who run the hotel are so warm, friendly and helpful, they gave us excellent advice and help with trips, taxis and transport. The hotel was relaxing and peaceful and the room was comfortable and clean. The position was perfect, near Carillo beach which is quieter than Samara but you are within easy distance for a visit.

    Hotel Sol Samara is just located outside of the city centre, so a car is ideal. It’s surrounded by an amazing nature, a garden with chickens and kittens. The beach is just down the road, a 2min walk and you are with a 5min drive in the city centre surrounded with all restaurants you need
