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.

- From € 82.23 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 524 reviewsA little piece of paradise, Andre and Rainer went above and beyond for me. Any request I had was immediately accommodated, Andre even got me some bug spray from Samara. They took me to the white sand beach, Rainer showed me the aloe vera when I had too much sun and even dropped me off for my next location. My room was beautiful, the best shower I've had in Costa Rica! The restaurant is very comfortable for hanging out, and the food is incredible. I can go on and on. Amazing hosts, thank you so much.

- From € 64.54 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 498 reviewsCozy hostel in a great location in the centre of Sámara and close to the beach, and within walking distance to everywhere else you might need. Very nice staff and clean and comfortable rooms, big and well equipped communal kitchen and a nice seating space. Fast WiFi and a typical Costa Rican soda restaurant attached to the hostel complete the services. There's also a laundry service but I didn't actually need to use it so cannot comment on speed/quality of that.MaarikaSwitzerland
- From € 590.02 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 70 reviewsThis was all inclusive with variety of choices for meals, drinks and activities. My family loved it, it was best stay out of five places in Costa Rica. No problems with early checking in and late leaving (to get lunch after check out was not a problem). No problems with towels or daily cleaning of the room. Personnel and waitresses were very kind, excellent internet everywhere and free parking quite near. Peace and silence everywhere, health measures adequate.MiroslavSlovakia
- From € 114.50 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 532 reviewsI've been to Costa Rica 5+ times and this is the best place that I've stayed! Super modern and stylish, very clean, comfy bed, cold air conditioning (which is important for me). The location is perfect. Staff were so nice and willing to help with any question or recommendation. Waking up to a healthy breakfast with fresh coffee on our patio was an extra bonus! Just do yourself a favor and book your stay here.
JohnUnited States - 9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 78 reviewsWe live in Costa Rica and escape to Samara as often as possible. We have stayed Casa Maiana for many years under prior and found the new owners Thierry and Christina to be gracious, welcoming and available to answer any questions you have. Casa Maiana is perfectly located for discovering Samara on foot - close to the beach, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets but off the beaten path and quiet. Highly recommend!
KristenCosta Rica - From € 104.09 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 716 reviewsLocation: Easy access to town. If you stay in hotels located farther east than this hotel, it is recommended to walk on beach to/from town. Beach: stunning and super clean. we really like to relax in the cabana. they have also several beach chairs are on the beach. Restaurant: The taste is good. they take time, but we were there on vacation. It was not problem.
