What a view: Right in front of the beach. The staff that welcomed us was so nice! We end up eating there and for the view, location, quality of the food and prices, more than worth it.

Everything was perfect, seriously, go to this place if you are in Samara. Is close to everything but quiet, rooms are new and fully equipped, bed was really nice and even A/C, not pointing directly to the bed was perfect. JP is a perfect host

Beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, cleaned daily and neatly arranged—housekeeping even crafts lovely figures with the towels each day. A delightful little oasis with complimentary parking. Hosts are incredibly kind and helpful. Just a 5-minute walk to the beach and supermarket, with plenty of fantastic restaurants nearby. We could easily extend our stay for an extra night. Everything was top-notch, and we would definitely return.

Everything absolutely shined! Super friendly, warm and welcoming people, especially Micaela, who is amazing. Excellent breakfast buffet with wonderful staff, the pool was fabulous, the room was extremely comfortable, clean and modern. We loved the touch of little flowers in rhe room. The grounds are gorgeous, lush and green. Five blocks to the beach and some nice restaurants. Worth a quick car drive to Playa Carrillos, which is super clean: just palm trees, sand and ocean! Great stay and an excellent value!

We loved our stay at las Estrellas!!! Great amazing views from our room. Beautiful sunset. Nice pool. Great deck with a nice breeze. Nathan is an excellent host and great cook! Breakfast was a lovely surprise everymorning. For sure we will come back when visiting Samara! Blessings to you and your lovely family✨🌸☀️👏 4-wheel drive is important because it is steep uphill and rocky/sandy

A true gem in Samara! It‘s located about a 10 min walk from the main strip and therefore nice and quiet with views out on the fields. The host Cédric is super nice and accommodating! When I got food poisoning on the last day he let us stay longer and then finally extended our stay for another night! We would come back anytime!

    Great town great beach.

    Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

    Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

    Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

    We loved Samara.

    We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

    We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef protecting the bay, so it is safe to swim for everyone in the family. The beach is clean and nice sand for walking. There are a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores for eating out or cooking in your apartment.

    Samara is wonderful.

    Samara is wonderful. It's a touristy beach town, but a very low-key one. The beach was never terribly crowded, the restaurants were never very crowded, and it was not full of obnoxious, loud partiers. Just a laid-back place full of friendly people.

    Very laid back small village.

    Very laid back small village. Tourists were very chill during my month long stay. Food at sodas and restaurants was very tasty. Do not expect resort type accomodations. A true surfer would go elsewhere but I saw many people getting their first rides here. Everything is walkable. I attended Intercultura Spanish Immersion School for 4 weeks. I hope to return for another month next year. All residentss appeared to enjoy their lives with quiet contentment.

    The Hotel Belvedere was extremely clean, the grounds are immaculate and the pool is well maintained. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The location is a short walk to restaurants, the best bakery and Playa Samara. Our room was very comfortable for our 4 night stay, the bed extremely comfortable, nice to have a bar fridge and the hot shower was nice.

    The family who run the hotel are so warm, friendly and helpful, they gave us excellent advice and help with trips, taxis and transport. The hotel was relaxing and peaceful and the room was comfortable and clean. The position was perfect, near Carillo beach which is quieter than Samara but you are within easy distance for a visit.

    Nathan was such a fantastic host - helping us in several ways (directions/dinner/breakfast/advice). The view from our room was just amazing. Breakfast was delicious too. This was the perfect place to enjoy our time Costa Rica - only wish we could have stayed longer! Best to have a 4x4 to get there.
