"Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects.
That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that...

"Very hospitable hosts who take great pride in caring for their guests and the hotel. Far exceeded our expectations. Very convenient location. Beach chairs/ umbrellas were a great bonus. Would definitely stay again!"

"This property was definitely off the beaten path. It was not well lit at night which made it almost scary to walk to dinner. They did not have many dining options and the menu is limited and redundant. "

"We loved our stay! We stayed in the family suite with the private pool and it was absolutely perfect. Its a short drive/walk/scoot to town which makes for a nice quiet stay while still being close to all amenities. The staff were amazing and the little soda on the corner was delicious.
Thanks!

"Perfect place for rest, peace, and quiet. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. The view is incredible — rainforest and ocean views with amazing sunrises and sunsets. Comfortable rooms with excellent beds/bedding and good AC. Hosts are very friendly, but also respectful of privacy. The pool is amazing with twice as many loungers as ever needed so there is always a good place to relax. Delicious breakfast. The roads are bumpy and the final approach is steep, but a 4X4 car can handle it,...

"Wonderful location with easy access to beautiful beach. Property is very nice and rooms are nice--although they could stand a few minor "extras". Pool is very nice. Food needed improvement--limited choices, not great quality although pineapple and watermelon was abundant and delicious."

I really enjoyed my time at Residencia Samara. The location is perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and everything you need, yet still quiet enough to relax. The property is clean, safe, and has a great local vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the space felt comfortable and welcoming. Perfect spot if you want a calm place to recharge while staying near all the action."

"We are so thankful for our wonderful stay at this property. It surpassed everything we were expecting. Ana and Freddy are the absolute best. Ana is a superior cook and was so helpful in planning all our activities. Freddy was a diligent hard worker up at the crack of dawn every day cleaning the pool and property. We were so sad to leave. Perfecto!! Can’t wait to come back. "
"This place was the highlight of our trip! The room was spacious and clean. The property grounds were immaculate and gorgeous! The staff was helpful and friendly and the food was delicious! The pool overlooking the sea was awesome! Samara is a short drive away and the beach is within walking distance from the property! We highly recommend this place! "
