Residencias Samara

10/10 Excellent

"Great space and location. Staff was very helpful"

Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples

10/10 Excellent

"The check in process was easy, buy the rental office was a little challenging to find. The sign is small and it is in a back corner amongst other shops. After we found it, the process was smooth. The rental agent even escorted us to the property to be sure we were comfortable with the locks and safe. The property was clean and they had cleaners come twice during our stay which was great. The a/c units were a blessing with the heat and humidity and the pool was used a lot. We felt safe in the house, but they also had a security guard each evening which made us feel even more secure. We had to scoop a couple of crabs from the pool each morning, but there was equipment there to make this possible. We walked to the beach and swam in the ocean multiple times since it was so close. The only downside was the living room fan. It was not working and would have been nice to help with air movement in the big living room. We did contact the rental office and they checked but it was not able to be repaired during our stay.The owner and rental agency were great with communication and answering our questions."

"We loved staying at this beautiful property. The house is clean and comfortable with lots of space to relax. The view is incredible and we loved hanging out in the pool listening to the howler monkeys and watching the hummingbirds and butterflies. The property is close to the beach and great restaurants. Communication was fantastic. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to return soon!"

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe and welcomed. The food was excellent! Service was quick. Overall definitely recommend Azura!"

Casa Tranquila, Brand NEW Modern Villa with Pool

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing place close to town, removed enough to be truly tranquil. Well designed, communicative host, great amenities, and there were even families of howler monkeys keeping us company just outside the property lines! Will definitely be bookmarking this place to visit again."

Best View in Samara! 4BR/3.5BTH. Walk to the beach or town.

10/10 Excellent

"Bill's place is amazing. Of all the places to stay in Samara, this place felt perfect for our family of 7. It is easily walkable to the beach - I timed it at 4 minutes and 30 seconds. And several times on our walk to the beach, we saw and heard monkeys. The apartment has everything we could have wanted for a beach trip: beach chairs, separate towels for pool and beach, beach toys, pool floats, board games, umbrellas, etc etc. The host has really thought through what a traveling family needs for a beach vacation. The gated entrance with onsite attendant made us feel safe at all times (although Samara itself never felt anything remotely close to "unsafe") and it was nice to know someone was onsite if needed. The host, Bill, and the property management company were both exceptionally responsive and very helpful. We got held up in terrible Costa Rica traffic on our drive to Samara and the local property management company made it super-convenient to check-in after a long day of travel. While we had a rental car, a car would not be absolutely necessary here. You can still walk to many places in Samara from here, although it would probably be easier with a car to get to the more northern end of town. The A/C units worked well enough to make our stay comfortable and the view from the kitchen and the master BR are unmatched in Samara. The view from the pool was great too and we hardly ever had to share it with other residents. 10/10 we would stay here again."

Hotel Brisas del Pacifico

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location right next to Samara beach and several nice restaurants. A short drive to wonderful Camarillo beach. Fridge, and nice shower. Make sure to ask for a room with AC."

Montelaguna Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. An oasis a couple miles from Sámara, short walk to the beach - highly recommend! "
