★★★ 7.8 (1 reviews)

"I spent a few months in this terrible place cause I didn't not have another option. Owners are living onsite and looking at everything you do. They get annoyed by everything whole they watch you on camera, then they send you messages to ask you not to let kids splash in the pool. The place we stayed was filthy, dust everywhere because the apartment didn't have windows up top, just a mosquito screen and crap smells from the drains. Owner mid twenties daughter and son operate this chicken coop sh$#& hole, who are extremely passive aggressive and fake. Walls were paper thing and windows didn't seal so I woke up many nights at midnight 1 or 2 am to cigarettes smoke that filled my bedroom from people smoking down by the pool. The place is on the main 160 highway, only road through town, loud motorcycles, cars and trucks woke me up on a regular basis. Same hotel people will party and keep you up cause nothing is sound proof. Hotel laundry matching at 11 pm woke me many times. Gladly low season started and I could find another place in town. Never come to this place, save your headache and money."

"Rooms: Classic hostel bedrooms with all the amenities. The walls are quite thin and you can hear everything. Service: Everything was very straightforward, and the girls who worked there are all lovely and helpful. Location: The location is amazing. Two blocks down from the beach, and there are bars and restaurants all around. Definitely a great place to stay if you are looking to socialize."

Villas Verdes

Villas Verdes

📍 150mts Oeste de Banco National de Costa Rica, Provincia de, Samara
★★★ 9.1 (41 reviews)

"My husband and I have been traveling to Samara Costa Rica for 15+ years, usually staying during February to escape the cold northern temperatures. Samara is the perfect destination for that! Villas Verdes is located within easy walking distance to the incredible beach or the town center with nearby access to groceries stores and numerous restaurants and shops. Upon entering the grounds at Villas Verdes, you feel the outside world melt away. The beautiful well-maintained gardens and sparkling pools are inviting. The villas are pleasant, brilliantly colored, warm, and welcoming. There are various options with 1-3 bedroom villas available. All are exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated with well-appointed kitchens and comfortable beds. There is an affordable delicious breakfast offered on site. There is secure off-street parking available with a security guard monitoring the grounds and front gate at night. The owners Koriynne and Angelo are wonderful! The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. The front office ladies are very accommodating. They will help with making a reservations or advice on an excellent restaurant. I highly recommend staying at Villas Verdes!!!"

Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde

Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde

📍 Camino a Estero Buena Vista - Cantarrana Provincia de Guanacaste Playa Sámara, Samara
★★★ 9.3 (36 reviews)

"So much better than I had imagined. Everything about the unit we stayed in (3 bedrooms, dip pool, AC in bedrooms) as well as the hotel was perfect! BOOK. You won’t be disappointed. My 11 and 12 year old loved it so much, especially waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys, watching the hermit crabs at the hidden beach a close walk away, and spotting the iguanas around the property. The shared pool was a favorite was well! We swam in it every day."

BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach ★★★
"The Room was OK with a fake plastic window, the smell of the bathroom was so bad, I needed to go outside behind the car to take a dump. We put the fan on full throttle into the bathroom. To add to that the beach is around 1,4 KM away. Try to not go there."

Villas Verdes ★★★
"This is a great place for families! The staff was very friendly. We had our own villa and our daughter and her family had their own villa. We hung out at my daughter's place because it was bigger and by two swimming pools. Our room needed a better mattress and better curtains to block out the light. The kitchens are very well stocked and there is a grocery store across the street for easy access to food. The beach is a 5 minute walk down a dirt road."

Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde ★★★
"We stayed in a well-equipped little hut with air-con (necessary), a kitchenette with all you need to make simple meals, and a beautiful porch with chairs and tables and a hammock, all tucked away and seculded in the jungle garden but 2 minutes from the pool. Bautiful beach is 15 mins walk away through the jungle, and Sámara beach - and others - are a short car ride. Breakfast was delicious - tried everything on the menu over our stay - and coffee was the best I've had. The staff were super helpful with everything; via them we booked the whale and dolphin tour with Octopus Tours, which was a superb way to spend a morning. "

Samara Beach Hotel ★★★
"We arrived to this hotel a few hours early for check in but we were given our room right away. I had emailed earlier and asked for a room away from the road which was requested. We stayed on the second floor which had a balcony that overlooked the pool. It was only a 2 minute walk to the beach close to lots of restaurants. This was the end of the stay so we just laid around the pool, walked the town and went to the beach. The bed was large and comfortable. The room was a good size with a big closet. This was my husband's first vacation and this hotel and area made him fall in love with travelling. We would stay here again. We met some great people. Breakfast was large and delicious. There was a large group of teens staying here with their school so at times it did get loud past quiet times. As they would be in the pool past close. Other than that it was a great stay."

Hotel Sol Sámara ★★★
"We went there for dinner because our nearby resort was, overall, a very poor experience. They accommodated our last minute reservation and the dinner was great. Establishment was cute and clean. Yes, a little slow getting our mojitos but still a good experience."

Hotel Selva y Mar Sámara ★★
"Chillaxin’ vibes at this place. Helpful hospitable staff. The minimalist rooms are clean and tidy. Shaded seating around the hotel pool gives relief from sunny hot days.. Ronald did a great job everyday serving breakfast to our large group. His professionalism is exemplary. We stayed in The Villa with a full kitchen and living area; great space for a group."

"What a fantastic place! We stayed at Belvedere for 5 nights and it was great! Mikaela is a super host, always ready to help out with a big smile. The hotel is very clean, the breakfast is buffet style and it’s delicious. You can’t go wrong, just book it!"
