We stayed two nights here and enjoyed it immensely. The staff were so accomodating in helping me make calls to the US to check on my son who had been hospitalized in my absence. The breakfast was excellent, our room was clean, the air conditioner worked great - what more can you ask for? Staff helped us book an ocean... More

I stayed at Hotel Sol Samara in April 2012 as part of a tour group. Of the month that I was away, this particular hotel provided the best and most professional service of all. Jesus was an absolute star and greeted us all by name every day and couldn't do enough to help. The hotel was in a great location... More

This hotel was extremely disappointing to us and we moved after the first night. We were booked here on a trip through Gate One Travel. We were to stay three nights here and expected it to be the same level as we had encountered previously. To start, the area is "rustic". You walk five to seven minutes down a dirt... More

Hotel Sol Sámara is a little paradise situated in the midst of the locals 100 yards from the most beautiful 5 km long and wide, breathtaking beach Playa Sámara. The hotel staff and the boss are so friendly and helpful, and they do everything to make you feel comfortable and at home! It takes a car- or bus ride to... More

My wife and I recently stayed one night at Hotel Sol Samara as we made our way from Tamarindo to Santa Teresa. In short, we found this hotel truly delightful and to be exactly what we had hoped for. From the start, Leo and the staff were wonderful, helpful and accommodating in everyway. Our second-floor room was clean and spacious,... More

We stayed 3 nights in January 2012 and had a great room. It was located on the second floor, and was at the back end of the hotel above the pool (I think the room was called Pura Vida). The room had 2 doors that opened onto the deck/porch that had lounge chairs overlooking the grassy area. In addition you... More

Hotel Sol Samara is located in between the town of Samara and Carillo beach. It is best to have a car if you stay here. It is located in a residential area. If you want to sleep bring earplugs. The dogs bark all night and the roosters start crowing at around 4 am. It is about one block walk to... More

While when we arrived we were concerned about the location as we were traveling with some friends that were staying on a hotel in downtown Samara, it turned out to be a blessing. We were able to sleep peacefully while our friends had to deal with the noise... More

This is a very, very nice, clean and super friendly hotel in Playa Samara, I stayed there 3 days and the owners were really friendly. Breakfast is included and the food is very good, prepared to your like. If you want a place to relax and get away from the noise... this is it!
