Location, location, location. Playa Samara is one of the best beach towns in Costa Rica that we have visited, however, it can be a very busy and noisy surfer town at night. Which makes the location of Lodge Las Ranas Perfect, It is a short 5 minute drive or $4 dollar cab ride from Playa Samara. On top of a... More

We stayed here from Jan 27 2012 to Feb 10, and to sum it up in a sentence.. This hotel is awesome! I am not one to write a review, just because i never think about doing it, however, after our two weeks there, i thought that other people should know that if they are in the Samara area and... More

The rooms are clean and attractive, the setting is magnificent (great sunset viewing) and the staff beyond helpful and pleasant. The breakfast menu needs a little tinkering (no protein in the veggie breakfast) All in all, one of the best hotel experiences we've had anywhere. Michael. More

I honestly feel that what made my last trip to Costa Rica so special was Lodge Las Ranas. The location is ideal....on a wonderful bluff overlooking Samara Beach and the jungle. The rooms were perfect....wonderfully designed with a nice balcony. The best part of the place is the staff. Cody is a true gentleman and helped me more than once... More

My husband found this hotel on Trip Advisory...it has a 5 star rating and they lived up to that rating. What a wonderful property. There are 2 buildings with the rooms...we stayed in #5 and the view was perfect...Samara Beach and the cove on one side and Tropical "jungle" on the other. I was told that sometimes the monkeys come... More

I booked Lodge Las Ranas based on Trip Advisor reviews, as one of the best locations in Guanacaste. I admit it: the place is great, and it does have many great things that leave you breathless. Highlights: Cody and his team. Everyone is warm and welcoming. Even the dogs that seemed to be scary, ended up being nice to us... More

On our last trip to Samara we scouted our next close-to-the-beach place to have a bit more "ahhh" as we would be traveling with another couple. Las Ranas fit the requirements perfectly. You have a view of the sunset and sunrise with monkeys, iguanas, and toucanettes all around you at any time of the day. The service and food (we... More

We are not connected in any way to this lodge, and found it via google. My wife and little daughter stayed here last december for 9 days and we enjoyed the Lodge very much. Originally our plan was to stay for 8 days, but we maximized our stay here till the very last minute before leaving back for San Jose... More
