I stayed here with two girl friends for 4 days while traveling through Costa Rica. We decided to splurge and stay in a hotel rather than a hostel during our short stay in Samara. The decision was worth it. Samara beach hotel is right in the center of town and only a two minute walk from the beach. In the mornings we would walk to beach and return to have breakfast and then relax by the pool in the hot sun. We were a little startled when we heard a noise by the pool and saw a giant iguana start to climb up one of the tall palms that surround the pool in the lush tropical garden. The night life is great in Samara there are lots of nice restaurants and beach bars to choose from but we always started the night in the hotel's happy hour. The prices are half off on all mixed drinks so about 2-3 dollars for a margarita. The beds were worlds more comfortable than the thin hostel mattresses we had become so accustomed to and the rooms were kept very clean despite the huge amount of sand we tracked in after our trips to the beach. All in all we had a great time in Samara and the helpful staff help us to set up a turtle tour, surf lessons, and a zip line tour.

nhotel samara beach is a nice hotel. you can enjoy yoour vacation to the fullest. aqnd i like the people very much.

First of all, their are 2 Hotels in Samara. One is called Samara Beach Hotel (I will write about this), the other one is called Playa Samara and I think a few people wrote about this one.
Samara Beach Hotel is located at the main street, but not really loud. Of course you here something, but if you have the aircondition turned on, you just hear that and the aircondition is not too loud. We had a safe in the room (2$ per day) a really big and comfortable bed and hot water in the shower. The breakfast was good, but allways the same.

The room was not clean, the shower head broken, the breakfast was poor, and the price was way too high for what you get. Charging extra $2 for using the safe in the room is just uncool.
