My husband ,young son and I recently traveled to Samara for three nights during our 10 day trip to Costa Rica and stayed in villa #6 at Villas Kalimba.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica. We (yours truly, my wife, and two kids, 5 and 8) found Villas Kalimba after researching places to stay in Costa Rica for a first time family trip. We flew in to Liberia and rented a car from Vamos 4X4. The rental experience was positive except for the fact that Vamos likes... more
