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.

JodyCanada - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 802 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 € 67.72 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 599 reviewsIt was an amazing experience, with the hotel being located in the middle of Samara and really close (walking distance) to the beach! The rooms with the garden view were nice and spacious with a king sized bed and a adequately sized bathroom. The pool areas were also amazing with two pools and a beautiful landscape and garden. The balconies overlooked the yard and had a table with chairs to enjoy the atmosphere.KarinSwitzerland
- From € 88.56 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 460 reviewsCasa Buenavista is a beautiful, well-organized, clean, stylish and very chill bed&breakfast, located on just a 10min walking distance of the most beautiful beach of Costa Rica, Carillo Beach. The hosts have done their utmost best to make this place a little paradise... at a paradise beach. Beware, the breakfast is huge, and although based on the typical gallo pinto, the variations will make you happy.
GertEBelgium - From € 119.81 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 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

- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 274 reviewsThis is the place you must be in Costa Rica. The perfect mix between jungle and high-level services.
