We stayed here for one week in November while researching house rentals for a later visit with our childen, so our trip was kind of a working vacation. Chris, the owner, was most helpful with logistics and getting the lay of the land and had a great sense of humor for all our grand adventures and mishaps involving motorcycles and... More

Playa Samara is a nice place to stay, a lot of hotels available near the beach with a REAL access to the beach (do not trust his website where he oversold his hotel), we believe you could go for the same price to a much better place than this and here is why: the rooms: some of the lights are...

We stumbled upon this place and they had availability so we booked it for two nights. Pretty good value (believe it was $60/night) and the rooms were huge. The fridge in the room were a big plus, the enormous number of large red ants weren't. I know we're in the jungle and there's not much to be done, but it... More

One actually came in on her day off to say goodbye and bring us a going away present. The rooms are pretty clean but small (not that we needed much space). The matresses and... More

Very friendly and accomodating staff, the rooms are small but we didn't need anything bigger, walking distance to the beach and restaurants More

We paid for one week at the Tico Adventure Lodge. After telling us that they would give us a discount, they instead charged us the full price. After three nights there, we decided not to stay in Samara but to visit Monteverde. We let the lady working know that we would be checking out, and she told us that she... More

We travelled around Costa Rica and planned to stay one night in Playa Samara, but we stayed two nights instead due to the comfy beds, clean rooms, good vibe, and nice beach around the corner. To tell you the truth we did not plan to go to Tico adventure lodge, but ended up here after driving around in circles to... More

My friend and I stayed at Tico Adventure Lodge in Samara Beach in early June 2011. The check-in was a bit confusing, as we arrived when the office should have been open, but no one was around. We called out and rang the bell for several minutes before giving up and going to get some food and drinks. We came... More

Didn't take some other reviewers comments regarding mattresses/pillows seriously, but honestly folks, these are THE worst mattresses and pillows in existence. You could feel every single spring - even my 50 lb son complained !! The pillows felt as though they were made out of leftover paper mâché projects. Also got bitten relentlessly during the night. Restated in the pool... More
