Loved staying here- a quiet little oasis close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Really safe and run by a lovely couple who make you feel very welcome and at home. Fab for solo travellers, and very clean and comfortable! One of my favourite spots on my trip.

This is the place you must be in Costa Rica. The perfect mix between jungle and high-level services. You can hear the monkeys singing from your place, still you get to have a delicious "gallo pinto" for breakfast (ora whatever else you need). Staff is super, always smiley!

Breakfast included with hotel stay. Every morning fresh fruit was served along with several breakfast options The beach was a very short walk away and a wonderful place to see a spectacular sunset. Also Carillo beach a little farther but palm trees provided shade if you wanted a break from the sun. Beautiful beach and great for swimming. Dinner was as good or better than any restaurants we experienced in town

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

We loved Samara.

We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef protecting the bay, so it is safe to swim for everyone in the family. The beach is clean and nice sand for walking. There are a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores for eating out or cooking in your apartment.

Samara is wonderful.

Samara is wonderful. It's a touristy beach town, but a very low-key one. The beach was never terribly crowded, the restaurants were never very crowded, and it was not full of obnoxious, loud partiers. Just a laid-back place full of friendly people.

Very laid back small village.

Very laid back small village. Tourists were very chill during my month long stay. Food at sodas and restaurants was very tasty. Do not expect resort type accomodations. A true surfer would go elsewhere but I saw many people getting their first rides here. Everything is walkable. I attended Intercultura Spanish Immersion School for 4 weeks. I hope to return for another month next year. All residentss appeared to enjoy their lives with quiet contentment.

The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Samara. The staff (Cedric and Beatrix) at this property are all great! They all go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Las Perilitas is one of the best hotels in Samara. The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Costa Rica. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Pura-Vida.

The food in this hotel restaurant was wonderful, easily the best we had during our 4 weeks travel in Costa Rica. The welcome and charming service from Ramon, his son Sebastian and all the staff was warm and caring, we were made to feel special as were the other guests staying there! Ramon's contacts were also excellent, he arranged a spectacular whale spotting trip with Samara Sea Tours and took us on a fishing trip to see the sunset. The location was central. We were sad to leave and send our warm regards now back in the UK.

The hotel is impeccably clean and cozy with a delicious breakfast and an ideal swimming pool. The room was very well equipped and shower with hot water and good pressure 🙂 the family running the place were super kind and helpful and made the most welcoming atmosphere. Walking distance to closest beach 5 minutes and it was easy to park even a big car. Honestly even better than we expected and would easily recommend to friends or come back if again in Costa Rica!

This was a lovely place to finish my trip in Costa Rica. The garden is beautiful. The beach is a 2 minute walk away. Walking to town via the beach takes about 20 minutes. Otherwise, you will need to drive. Thomas, the host is lovely and kind. I visited with the other guests and had wonderful conversations. There were a few kitties around, and that made me very happy. Sweet little guys. Thank you, Thomas, for being a wonderful host. I hope I can visit again.

Ideal place to rest in a peaceful environment. Surrounded by green fields and trees, the hotel is an oasis. The couple managing it are some of the best people you will meet in Costa Rica. Rooms are comfi, the beds are amazing and AC is a big plus. The breakfast was one of my favourite throughout my trip in Costa Rica
