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 € 64.80 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 498 reviewsThe staff were all very friendly and helpful. This is the only place we stayed where we were asked if we wanted our garbage changed and room tidied. Large kitchen area with designated spots in the fridge for each room. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. Very convenient location, close to the beach, restaurants and grocery store. We appreciated having cold drinking water as Samara was by far the hottest stop on our journey! There is no designated parking however we had no issue parking across the road.MichelleCanada
- From € 83.61 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 453 reviewsHonestly could not fault this property, we stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our trip and it was a perfect way to finish an incredible stay in Costa Rica. All the rooms face onto the beautiful gardens and pool, with a small seating area for each room which was a very peaceful and quiet area. Breakfast was cooked fresh each morning, and each breakfast was different and absolutely delicious! The staff are so friendly and are happy to help with anything. Would definitely stay here again!LauraUnited Kingdom
- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 756 reviewsIt doesn't get any more beachfront than this place, and the beach itself is wonderful. A few minutes walk down the beach from the small town, and well away from any busy roads, so very peaceful. A fantastic and unpretentious place to relax, with a superb restaurant - some of the best food we had in our entire Costa Rica stay was eaten out on the patio. Really pleasant and helpful staff who almost instantly felt like friends. Highly recommended, and we hope to be back before long.
TJALLINGUnited States - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 800 reviewsThe room had a lovely little balcony with chairs and a hammock which was great to relax on. The air conditioning worked well, the bed was comfortable and I loved the pool area. The pool is small but refreshing to get in on a hot day and there were comfortable sun loungers. It was only a short walk to the beach, Samara feels compact but big enough to have a range of restaurants- perfect for a relaxing last few days of my trip to Costa Rica!
EmmaUnited Kingdom - 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 51 reviewsGarden: well-maintained with beautiful flowers. my wife really likes. Shower and bath room: very large space. Beach: it is located rip current. but we enjoyed sitting down in front of the beach.The hotel provides several shade between trees. we moved the beach chairs to one of them and enjoyed a relaxing time. Breakfast: basic but enough and tasty. we can choose one from 4 options Restaurant: no restaurant for lunch and dinner.Tsukasa SuzukiJapan
- From € 61.66 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 987 reviewsWe really liked the hotel. It was affordable, convenient! Only a 5 min walk to beach! In fact in Samara everything is no further than a 5 min walk. Pool area was nice and quiet, room a good size. Unfortunately we never got to stay overnight as my husband suffered an emergency and had to be airlifted to hospital in San Jose. The owners were really wonderful and understanding! Highly recommend Hotel Belvedere!ChristineCanada
- From € 47.03 per night6.3Scored 6.3PleasantRated pleasant· 287 reviewsThe location is really nice! Close to the beach and nice chill out area at the hostel. Our room (Economy Room) was very small. For 2 nights ok but for a longer stay you should book a bigger room. The restaurant is nice. Samara Beach is one of the best beaches from Costa Rica. Very beautiful and you can surf (5$ a board per hour)! You should bring a hammock for the beach. Best Thing Ever!MMichelleGermany
- From € 104.51 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 712 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.Tsukasa SuzukiJapan
- From € 109.74 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 364 reviewsIt’s a small hotel, pretty quite, walking distance to one part of Samara beach and 5 mins by car to playa Carrillo (very nice beach especially at sunset). The hotel has all the key features, big beds, A/C, small nice swimming pool. The onsite restaurant is a decent option or Samara restaurants are at 10 mins by car (Ahora si is an excellent Italian one).
