Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples
10/10 Excellent
"The check in process was easy, buy the rental office was a little challenging to find. The sign is small and it is in a back corner amongst other shops. After we found it, the process was smooth. The rental agent even escorted us to the property to be sure we were comfortable with the locks and safe. The property was clean and they had cleaners come twice during our stay which was great. The a/c units were a blessing with the heat and humidity and the pool was used a lot. We felt safe in the house, but they also had a security guard each evening which made us feel even more secure. We had to scoop a couple of crabs from the pool each morning, but there was equipment there to make this possible. We walked to the beach and swam in the ocean multiple times since it was so close. The only downside was the living room fan. It was not working and would have been nice to help with air movement in the big living room. We did contact the rental office and they checked but it was not able to be repaired during our stay.The owner and rental agency were great with communication and answering our questions."
"The property is split between 2 buildings - a beachside building and another about 2 blocks away. That is why you see pool views and beach views in the listing. We stayed in the inland building with the pool and could not have enjoyed it more. Room was clean and the bed comfortable. The living room furniture left something to be desired, but truly, we did not use it much. The staff were excellent setting up tours for whale watching and turtle egg-laying so we couldn't have been happier with the help they provided. The breakfast service was excellent, but the venue was even better - right on the beach behind Tico's Surf School. The hotel provides folding chairs for the beach."
"Great staff, very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe and welcomed. The food was excellent! Service was quick. Overall definitely recommend Azura!"
"We had a great time staying here, the pool was perfect in the afternoon and everything is such a short walk away. They also had some beach chairs and umbrellas for us to take down to the beach. Samara is a great town and this hotel was the perfect place to stay."
"Tout était impeccable ; la chambre, la piscine,… Impossible de se sentir plus dans la jungle qu’à cet endroit! C’était magique de prendre son café dans le hamac ou se laver dans la douche extérieure. Le déjeuner était succulent et différent des « classiques » du coin.
La plage de Samara était à 5 minutes de voiture: toujours facile de se stationner. Honnêtement, la tranquillité valait la distance.
Excellent service, très accommodants.
J’ai tout adoré!!! Merci"
Best View in Samara! 4BR/3.5BTH. Walk to the beach or town.

"Bill's place is amazing. Of all the places to stay in Samara, this place felt perfect for our family of 7. It is easily walkable to the beach - I timed it at 4 minutes and 30 seconds. And several times on our walk to the beach, we saw and heard monkeys. The apartment has everything we could have wanted for a beach trip: beach chairs, separate towels for pool and beach, beach toys, pool floats, board games, umbrellas, etc etc. The host has really thought through what a traveling family needs for a beach vacation. The gated entrance with onsite attendant made us feel safe at all times (although Samara itself never felt anything remotely close to "unsafe") and it was nice to know someone was onsite if needed. The host, Bill, and the property management company were both exceptionally responsive and very helpful. We got held up in terrible Costa Rica traffic on our drive to Samara and the local property management company made it super-convenient to check-in after a long day of travel. While we had a rental car, a car would not be absolutely necessary here. You can still walk to many places in Samara from here, although it would probably be easier with a car to get to the more northern end of town. The A/C units worked well enough to make our stay comfortable and the view from the kitchen and the master BR are unmatched in Samara. The view from the pool was great too and we hardly ever had to share it with other residents. 10/10 we would stay here again."
"Comfortable place. Two beds in the room, that was unexpected. Nice.
Staff need to be more attentive when . Serving and at the bar. But free breakfast was very good. Great beach, one of the best I have been in Costa Rica. Affordable. I don’t know if they have any beach chairs, I didn’t asked. There are none available at the beach except for the next door resort which they don’t rent. There are different activities offered by other businesses."
"Beautiful location right next to Samara beach and several nice restaurants. A short drive to wonderful Camarillo beach.
Fridge, and nice shower. Make sure to ask for a room with AC."
"We absolutely loved this property. The pool and seating area around the pool was fantastic. The little details everywhere were beautiful. The seashells and the art were so lovely. Maite was a fantastic host. We hope to revisit one day!"
