A great place to stay, no expensive and with good amenities. Also close to probably the best beach of Samara literally 5 minutes by walk. Food is also tasty and staff are pretty kind.

JP went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He took time to show me around Samara and introduced me to people. He gave me useful tips on apps for music and the tide. Thanks for your hospitality!

This was by far my favorite experience staying in Costa Rica. This place and people are rare gems. First, the location is perfect, with a inhouse parking, 5 min walk from the beach, and close to a French Bakery ;) The place is so well maintained, peaceful, tastefully furnished, with a pool and a wonderful outdoor area. The room is absolutely perfect, with beautiful showers and confortable bed, AC, fan. It is cleaned everyday (THANK YOU for the beautiful daily decorations, natual flowers and shells put on my bed). Each room has its balcony which is amazing. The breakfast, extra, is delish and diversified (4 options). And, finally, Brigitte and Lothar are AMAZING hosts. Thank YOU for this wonderful stay I could not dream of a better place for my stay in Samara. I appreciate all the guidance provided to learn more about the area. You guys are truly the best. I wish you good luck, and hope to see you soon! Fares

The owners were great. Very friendly and helpful. The facility was beautiful, clean, and a 10-15 minute walking distance from the beach if you are inclined to enjoy walks like us. Would definitely consider staying there again.

    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.

    The Hotel Belvedere was extremely clean, the grounds are immaculate and the pool is well maintained. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The location is a short walk to restaurants, the best bakery and Playa Samara. Our room was very comfortable for our 4 night stay, the bed extremely comfortable, nice to have a bar fridge and the hot shower was 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.

    Nathan was such a fantastic host - helping us in several ways (directions/dinner/breakfast/advice). The view from our room was just amazing. Breakfast was delicious too. This was the perfect place to enjoy our time Costa Rica - only wish we could have stayed longer! Best to have a 4x4 to get there.
