My husband and I stayed at Villas Pepitas with our 19 month-old son and I can't say enough great things about the villas, the owners, the staff, everything! It was absolutely perfect. We actually got married at a nearby beach while we were staying there, and even though it was simple elopement with just the three of us, we felt... more

My wife and I found villas pepitas simply because it was not too far from where our friends were staying, but once inside, we discovered a little paradise. Its pool equipped with a little waterfall made it hard for us to take the 2 minute walk to the wonderful beach. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We've looked around... more

Our family recently stayed at Villas Pepitas in Samara. The grounds of the place were very naturally landscaped and there were lots of birds and other wildlife nearby. It was a relaxing and beautiful hotel with a touch of nature that most people come to Costa Rica to see. We traveled with another family that stayed in another villa a... more

It was a complete pleasure to have stayed here recently. The Italian family that built and owns Villas Pepitas is on-site and are kind, thoughtful hosts who maintain a first-class environment. Their attitude extends throughout the staff we encountered. Without hesitation I would recommend Villas Pepitas and hope to return for another visit. more

My boyfriend and I just returned from a fantastic tour of Costa Rica. Samara was our third city, and we stayed at Villas Pepitas. The owners (brothers) are very kind and helpful! They have created a fabulous escape just down the street from the main road in Samara. It is a short 3 minute walk down to the beach or... more

So far the best hotel we've stayed in in Costa Rica. The villas have separate entrances. The rooms are very comfortable and quite spacy. Windows all around - luminous all day round. Wonderful fully equiped kitchen and great private terrace with a big dining table and hammock. We stayed in the second floor and our terrace was overlooking the best... more

We stayed in one of four 1 bdrm apartments, but there is also a 2bdrm villa. It was bright and perfectly clean (cleaned daily by lovely and friendly... more
