Our small hotel (8 rooms) is located in a tropical garden, at the entrance of Samara, about 400 meters from the beach. In the immediate vicinity there are shops, restaurants, doctor, pharmacy and, many small resaturants and a bakery. We have many regular guests who come back every year with us and many tourists who go out with us for a longer break. Many world travelers, stop by and appreciate our hotel because of the peace. There is a communal kitchen a barbecue (gas), a huge pool and enough space to relax outdoors. Three rooms are equipped withe aircondition and the other are equipped with fans, safe and refrigerator. The hotel is under Austrian management, we attach great importance to cleanliness.

We have been coming to Samara for the last 10 years, staying at 3 other places other than here on some of them, and Entre is by far our favorite. First off, the location is the best of them all, very close to the beach yet so close to the downtown it makes food shopping or going out to dinner a breeze. Roots, my favorite bakery, is dangerously close to here if you are trying to diet though. Do not underestimate the benefits of the pool and garden. Both are fantastic oasis’s from the heat and hubbub in town. The rooms are comfortable and clean and our room, #4, has its own private deck and kitchenette in the back which butts up against the forest for shade and privacy. No A/C in our room, but other rooms do have it, and our room has more ventilation than most and we would likely not even use A/C even if it were an option. Daniella, the owner, lives on site and is a very sweet Austrian woman who speaks multiple languages, English and German as well as Spanish. Her handyman Luigi is Italian and is here often enough too to translate if need be. The vibe here is casual and laid back with a common sitting area with hammocks, and area to dine in, and a communal kitchen outside for people to use. Not as much wildlife dropping by here as in past years, but we have seen howler monkeys and coatis here on this trip. There are many options in town to stay at, but from walking around town and seeing what is available, the combination of price point, amenities and location here just makes this tops in my book. You will not regret staying here.

Really large room, super cool rock shower, lots of common space to hang out in, including an outdoor kitchen that other guests made use of. Nice pool too. Friendly staff. It’s on the edge of town, which is both good and bad. Quiet, but might be tricky walking the last little stretch at night without sidewalks.

We only stayed 1 night here. There were things we liked and didn't like. Overall we probably won't stay again. We stayed in room 7 : 2 regular beds and a day bed Pros Loved the common area, it was so relaxing Loved walking through the garden area Bathroom was super cool looking Beds were pretty comfy Staff was super nice Outside shower was perfect after coming back from the beach Parking lot felt very safe Cons There were ants in the room and in our beds. Staff said it was the season and that there was nothing they could do about them Ants flew around the room and hit us on the head when we were sleeping Sheets on the bed are thin Overall the hotel has a very relaxed and rustic feel. If it wasn't for the ants we would visit again, as we stayed in other places in CR and didn't have this problem

This is a beautiful 7 room property located adjacent to hillside green space a few minutes from the beach and all amenities. The pretty gardens and surrounding area attract many birds and Pizote making for beauty wherever your eye falls. There are lots of areas to sit, relax and read or chat including plenty of pool lounges. The pool is a jewel and very clean. The outdoor kitchen is well equipped and really handy and the rooms are well kept and clean. However the most wonderful hosts Daniela and Lewis are what makes this hotel exceptional. During our 18 night stay they offered help and advice, booked and oversaw our PCR tests for the return home. Daniela was quick to see to anything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.

We stayed in room 3 on the ground level right next to the outdoor kitchen. The room was spacious, clean and had option of air conditioning. The outdoor kitchen is clean and well equipped. The pool is located in a beautiful spot with plenty of nature and a good combination of sun and shade. There are hammocks and a nice sitting area in addition to seating for when you're dining. Daniela and Yami and wonderful hosts. Friendly and accommodating! The place is 5 minute walk to the beach, shops, groceries, banks and restaurants.

We had a lovely stay at this little hotel in Sámara. The layout of the hotel is perfect, with the outdoor kitchen, pool, little garden and far enough away from the town for some peace and quiet. The owner Daniella and all of the workers were welcoming and kind-service with a smile!

We loved how this pretty little rustic hotel was recessed in a lush tropical setting yet only a few minutes walk from all of Sàmara's amenities including the beach. Our room was clean, spacious and equipped with an air conditioning unit which we never used thanks to a big ceiling fan. The grounds of the hotel are speckled with original tropical foliage, beautiful palms and flowering bushes, all of which are very well kept. We thoroughly enjoyed going for daily refreshing dips in the hotel's nicely sized pool. We equally enjoyed our evenings under the covered palapa located at the heart of the property and where other guests congregate to eat, read a book or play cards as we did with new acquaintances! The staff and host (Daniela, thank you for everything!!) are lovely people who were always available to assist us and gave us great tips about what to see and do in Sàmara. We loved our time at Hotel Entre dos Aguas! We strongly recommend it!

The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Daniela was very kind and helpful with great suggestions of places to go in the area. The pool was very refreshing after a day at the beach. I definitely recommend Dos Aguas!

We stayed at Entre dos Aguas with our family twice and had an amazing time. Dani is a great host and made us feel like home with her positive energy. The hotel is perfectly located for those who want to be in the middle of nature and just a short walk to the beach and the amenities Sámara has to offer. The garden and pool area is beautiful and very well kept as is the communal kitchen and seating area. We stayed at the tree top suite and enjoyed the private terrace and kitchenette. The suite is equipped with excellent fans so we did not miss an aircon at all. All staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are superclean. We will definitely be back :-)
