“Amazing place to be in Samara!”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

A friend suggested I stay at this place. Megan & Roberto are the absolute best! So helpful, caring for pretty much every need (and want!). The pool was a great place to cool off in during the heat of the day. The food served at the restaurant was top quality, and with a wide selection. And if there's something I... More

The pool needed cleaning as well as the the surrounding areas. The plus was the bed was okay & the people are nice. The price we paid was high &... More

“Rancho de la Playa: The Hell Hotel”

Reviewed 17 April 2013

It is the utmost scam in the world when you are being promised a paradise but instead, being delivered to hell--where Garden of Eden becomes Dante's Inferno. These are the things that are likely to happen only in some Wes Craven film's Opus in some Hollywood production. The only problem this time is the location, event and characters aren't coincidental... More

“Excellent Stay at Rancho de la Playa!”

Reviewed 12 March 2013

We spent 3 months in Samara, Costa Rica. We stayed at Rancho de la Playa in one of their little apartment. It was great service. The weekly entertainment is very enjoyable and their daily specials are excellent, for less than $10, you can have a nice meal. The new owners Tony and Roberto are real gentlemen and always ready to... More

“good food!”

Reviewed 22 January 2013

we went there for dinner several times during our trip to Samara. The food is excellent and they have a couple of good wines. The menu is simple but the food is tasty! They always had a ''special of the day'' at an affordable price, between 2500 and 5000 colones. They speak english, spanish, french, italian and maybe more..

“Dude, just stay here.”

Reviewed 9 January 2013

Best place to drop your bags and experience Samara. Affordable dorms, that have more accomodations (such as fan, tv, nice bathrooms) than other local hostels. You'll get a pool and a restaurant that hosts a lot of live and local music as well. Muy buena vibra aqui. Also, the wait staff is fabulous and very kind. Other hostels in the... More
