Hi to all, If you plan to go to Costa Rica, you HAVE TO go to the Pacific Coast, any tico or tica will tell you this. It's the nicest coast with the nicest beaches!!! If you plan to go on the Pacific Coast, you HAVE TO go to Samara, it's the cutest LITTLE town, a mix between a traditionnal... more

My partner and I ( americans living in Paris ) stayed at samara pacific lodge 5 days early august. We loved the hotel. Clean, excellent food, full attention from owners and staff, far enough from busy and noisy village center but close enough to reach the nearby beaches. Excellent road signs in the village to find the hotel located few... more

I just want to confirm what i have learned before to go to samara on this website, it's absolutly true ! This hotel is particulay wonderfull ! It's not in the town center where cars truck and quad bike are noisy, but not too far also (1km). It's just near two beaches very different the one from the other. The... more

What a wonderful place! The owners of the Samara Pacific Lodge are a young couple full of love and enthousiasm! The lodge is located 800m from the beach in the middle of the nature (a chance to see birds and monkeys and to enjoy a very quiet place). No need at all to take the car: the true "farniente"! The... more

Samara Pacific Lodge is by far the best option, it offers great service, good accommodations. Although it is not in downtown, it is less than 5 minutes to good beach area and downtown. It is convenient for families as some of the rooms offer privacy for parents, rooms are well kept: clean and confortable, its price and the quality is... more

It was my first trip to Costa Rica and I loved the Samara Pacific Lodge. If you like to be surrounded by gorgious nature in a quiet retreat near the ocean with warm weather, this is the place. The 10 minutes walk to the beach is a superb dirt road along a forest with monkeys hanging out in the trees,... more

I could not disagree more with many of the comments included in the prior review about the Samara Pacific lodge. While some basic facts are certainly accurate (indeed do not touch the ill-installed shower head for fear of electrocuting yourself and yes, the location of this property is roughly a 15 minute walk to the beach), our experience with the... more

The location and accommodations are adequate for most travelers, but what disappoints most is the management style of the family that runs the hotel. The hotel is pretty far from Samara center and the beaches (the popular free map of Samara is not to scale!). This is fine, if you have a car; plus there is a decent convenience store... more

Some french friends recommended this hotel. We went over there during the rainy season and it was perfect. I never slept so well ! The food was awesome! Especially the "religieuse au chocolat" ! :) And the hotel grounds were impressive! Thanks a lot to this cute french couple who found their way! more
