Top Sámara Hotel Reviews

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is peaceful and perfect for a couples vacation. The housekeeping wasn’t really cleaning for example our sheets became dirty instead of them changing the sheets they made the bed up with the exact sheet on opposite side, they left the garbage and the cups of alcohol that were left on the mini fridge. Other than that the property is amazing food is amazing bartenders will have those drinks coming. It wasn’t to crowded as it is a small all inclusive resort. I will definitely be staying there again."

Montelaguna Boutique Hotel

6/10 Okay

"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."

Villas Verdes

2/10 Terrible

"Samara Costa Rica lost electricity on the morning of our last full day in Costa Rica. So at Villas Verdes, we spent the last full day and the time preparing for our exit early the next morning, in total darkness, with no running water or air conditioning. I understand that Villas Verdes cannot control the electricity in Costa Rica (shoddy as it is) but at least they could have check on us and perhaps provided flash lights or even gas lanterns or buckets of water to flush the toilets. But we heard nothing from them! I will not be back. And I think a partial refund if in order. - Thomas"

Fabulous Ocean View, Walking Distance to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here! The views were incredible and the pool was amazing! It is definitely a longer walk to the beach but we had a car so it was no worries at all. It is an apartment not the whole unit as we thought the listing said but it didn’t really matter to us we were happy with our stay with Sherry! Thanks again!"

Best View in Samara! 4BR/3.5BTH. Walk to the beach or town.

10/10 Excellent

"It was a fantastic stay we had an amazing experience! Lots of space and super clean and well organized! Just what we needed! Great experience. Hosts are super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and would return again."

Hotel Sol Samara

8/10 Good

"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."

Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort

4/10 Poor

"No recomiendo este hotel para nada, el recepcionista muy malo, no estaba en el lugar, tuvimos que esperar, también no nos indicó nada, ni donde estaban las toallas de piscina, ni la clave de internet. El lugar huele mal en ciertos sectores, en la noche llegaba un olor terrible del baño, los muebles están en terrible condiciòn. No vayan ahí!"
