We had a beautiful spacious room poolside at this charming hotel. The location was quiet but close enough to the town of Samara to enjoy excellent restaurants and services. Highly recommended.

This was the best hotel we stayed at in all of Costa Rica! Absolutely gorgeous property, beautiful pool, clean rooms, the most comfortable beds, and wonderful made to order breakfast. Geraldine, the breakfast waitress is a delight! She's so funny and personable despite the language barrier. We traveled with our 3 year old and we were delighted to find toys and children's books in the lovely sitting area. Such a big help for parents! I'm so happy we stayed here!

The property is clean and very quiet. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The manager Luis, was a pleasure to talk with. Good breakfast, pool was a good option when we got tired of the ocean.

This is a decent option for staying in/near Samara. Bear in mind it is a five-six minute drive to town/main beach stretch. The staff were excellent, particularly Loydes, who was so genuine and helpful. The pool is great for kids. Bathroom was a bit dated and moldy unfortunately. Included breakfast was nice and appreciated.

I stayed at this property in November 2024. Mario, the owner is friendly and accommodating. All the staff were beyond amazing. Cute little boutique hotel. Loved it. Can’t say anything negative about it.

Loved It!!

This place was amazing from the second we arrived. Staff person checking us in was polite, accommodating and made you feel like you were best friends. Because it’s a smaller hotel, we got to know all of the staff and they couldn’t have been nicer people! On site parking was easy. Location was quiet except for some road noise. Walking to Playa Samara beach was convenient and took less than 10 minutes down a dirt road. Room was large with a separate foyer area that had a sink and mini fridge. Pool is nice. Breakfast was good as were the drinks. We did not eat lunch or dinner so can’t comment on that. Three minute drive to Playa Carrillo - which is an amazing beach. Seven minute drive to downtown Samara. Nothing negative to say about this place - check it out!

There is a lot to share about our experience. Our family of four booked this hotel for three nights to relax after some earlier adventures. Unfortunately we got some pretty terrible weather. We were the only ones staying on the property for the majority of our stay. In the high season they have a guard station and a restaurant. In the low season they are not fully staffed. They gave us a lovely room and the staff we met were kind and friendly. They provided breakfast daily. The pool was stunning. If we had better weather it could have been a wonderful trip. On the last day of our stay a tropical depression hit and it rained and stormed so hard that the hotel lost power at around 3pm. We knew that meant no electricity, no ac, no WiFi and also no water. That is very scary when you are traveling in an unfamiliar area. That evening at 6 pm we started to really worry and found a small corner grocery store where the owner walked us through the store with a flashlight. The hotel staff left. No one checked on us. No one offered us water, flashlights or candles. The power was out until 9 am the next day. Our safety was never a concern or consideration. It’s very strange to be the only people at a hotel and even stranger to have no one on staff. We reached out requesting a refund and were denied. No apology was given and no one tried to make this right. We did not get what we paid for. This was a very unique circumstance, but it wasn’t handled appropriately.

Loved the place. Nice hot breakfast. Everyone was very helpful and nice. The room is very nicely decorated and the place looks well taken care off. There is also a security guard walking around during the night. So it's pretty safe. The only thing I would suggest is to be on top of the refilling of product provided. We barely had enough liquid soap for 1 shower. No other shower soap provided, so we used the hand soap the rest of the time. We also ran out of shampoo (the bottle was almost empty when we got there). Also no coffee pods in the room. None of it was a big deal to us, however maybe other people would mind.

3,5/5

Extremely comfortable mattress. Large room. Nice shower with good water pressure. Nice balcony. Restaurant is a bit expensive, but the food is good. The included breakfast is not good. There should be more options. Cleanliness is ok. Staff is ok. Proximity to Playa Carrillo and Playa Sámara is great. You need to have a car to find some other restaurants, because there’s nothing around. The hotel is very close to the road. You can hear the motorcycles constantly. There were A LOT of children at the hotel. A. LOT. With all the noise and mess children bring in a Boutique Hotel….running in the corridors at 6:30 am, screaming in the pool, etc.

this hotel was very cute, and staff was very friendly. The only con was the distance from the airport, but that was expected.
