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.ChristaCanada - 10Scored 10

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 of America - 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 of America - 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.

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 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 40 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 - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 809 reviewsI liked everything. The style, you really feel in Costa Rica with the plants around, wooden balconies, birds singing, etc. It's relaxing. Very cute private single room with private bathroom, balcony and hammock. Super clean, there's everything to cook, good free coffee, clean beautiful pool, very welcoming and helpful staff. One of the best hotels I have been to in Costa Rica. I would certainly come back and for many nights.CarolineCanada
- From $135.60 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 118 reviewsThe modern chic lodge is up in the hills above Samara with a wonderful view of both Playa Samara and Playa Carillo, and a lovely pool. A 4 x 4 vehicle is advisable due to the climb on the dirt roads. Samara itself is my favorite Costa Rican cramped beach town of restaurants, hotels, bars, shops, etc., crowded during high season, so this is an excellent option for being near to it but getting away from noise at night.AthenaUnited States of America
- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 995 reviewsBeautiful hotel with lush plants everywhere! so charming and relaxing. Magnificent pools and privacy. Tucked away from the town yet the town is still easily accessible. We totally loved it! The walk to the beach through the cozy chill town is super quick and lovely. Lots of fauna and flora to admire on property. Our favorite stay in Costa Rica hands down. BEST place for a relaxing CR vacay!HannahUnited States of America
- From $111.87 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 727 reviewswe are so grateful that we found Bahia- a real treat for us on our 3 week stay in Costa Rica. It has been so carefully thought through and lovingly created and all the staff are incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive. The whole place is spotlessly clean and it is such a treat being so close to tue beautiful Samara beach- literally a few steps away from your room.
SophieUnited Kingdom - From $129.95 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 364 reviewsBeautiful location in the jungle just 100 yards from a beach. Beautiful Carrillo beach was a very short drive away. The restaurant was very good. All staff spoke excellent English and were very attentive. The room was spacious and had nice seating. We saw iguanas, 20 howler monkeys and several macaws from our hotel. Be sure to walk to the beach for sunset!PhilipUnited States of America

The owners were so kind and welcoming and left a bottle of champagne outside our room on New Year’s Eve and welcome beers when we arrived and also a bracelet as a gift when we left! Everything about this place is amazing I wish we could’ve stayed longer! And their dog Spencer is the best too!
