“Beautiful”

Reviewed May 23, 2013 NEW

The pictures of this place do not do it justice. The rooms are beautiful and the view is jaw dropping. The staff is also super friendly. They attract wildlife through their kindness. We saw them bathe 4 toucans with the hose while there. This place is a fanatic getaway for a couple.

“Chilled place with great views”

Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

We liked this place. The rooms are a bit basic but the balcony incredible and the views amazing - we saw Toucans and monkeys. The pool was quite dirty and the entrance is a bit sketchy - very steep and not the easiest to navigate but the overall energy of the place is really good and it's a very nice... More

“Gem on a hilltop”

Reviewed May 13, 2013

This small hotel restaurante is situated on a hilltop above the beach town of Playa Samara, Costa Rica. Only a five minute walk to town you will find yourself debating whether to bother, so good are the views. Surrounded by jungle covered slopes and old ranches, and with a view of the western sunset over Playa Buenavista it is a... More

“Perfect hideaway”

Reviewed May 1, 2013

We stayed at Las Ranas for 6 nights, originally intending to stay for only 3, as it was so relaxing and peaceful. Cody, the owner is very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are lovely and each has a beautiful outlook, we spotted monkeys every day and an array of different birds. Las Ranas is situated just outside the main town... More

“Beautiful hotel”

Reviewed April 26, 2013 via mobile

Had a fantastic stay here. The hotel feels new, is very clean and has really high quality rooms. The pool area is really nice in the heat of Samara. The owner is a Canadian expat who does a really phenomenal job keeping up the place. Breakfast is included and is also excellent. The hotel is about 2 miles from the... More

“A warm welcome and a cool pool in a beautiful setting”

Reviewed April 8, 2013

We stayed at Las Ranas for only two days as a resting point during a two week tour of Costa Rica. From arrival, we received a very warm welcome from the manager, Cody and his mother Shelly who was visiting at the time. There are only a small number of rooms, which ensures good access to the pool and a... More

“A Good Choice -- but not for all”

Reviewed March 16, 2013

Before our arrival, we knew Lodge Las Ranas was about a 30 minute walk to the beach. Having obtained 4 local taxi names/numbers beforehand, our plan had been to walk to the beach each morning after breakfast, have lunch afterwards in town, and return by taxi to the hotel for an afternoon swim. We also planned on taxi service to... More

Stayed here 3 nights at the end of February. All of the previous reviews have pretty much said it all, except that the rooms here are very romantic, with canopy beds. We loved sitting on the Costa Rican rockers on the balcony enjoying the views, the gorgeous pool, the lovely breakfasts and the caring staff. Our biggest treat was watching... More

“Going to Samara? Don't want to be in the beach activity all night long?”

We love the beach activity in Samara; especially that the establishments allow you to lounge on their premises/beachfront all day long with no pressure to purchase; incredible! But you do, even if a sparkly water. And, we love to go to dinner there of course! BUT, as much as we like any live music offered, not so much to hear... More
