Boasting river views, Eco-Turismo Guayacanes offers accommodation with balcony, around 48 km from Barra Honda National Park. With pool views, this accommodation provides a terrace and a swimming pool. The holiday home also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. This is an amazing property with cute cabins and all the facilities. The pool was nicely kept. The fruit provided from the crop was extra special. All the staff was helpful. Great area but need a vehicle or taxi for access to Sámara. Such a peaceful place to stay. It was nice to hear that this was also funding support for the tree regrowth.

Featuring a garden, barbecue facilities and views of sea, La Caravana is set in Sámara, 200 metres from Carrillo Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The holiday home features family rooms. We fell in love with this quirky little spot the moment we arrived. Three vintage caravans have been transformed into the most charming accommodations we’ve seen, and we’ve traveled to over 70 countries, staying in many hotels, including many boutique and luxury ones. We stayed at the Avion, but Argosy and Airstream looked as lovely. Positioned perfectly, just meters from one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful beaches. Several good restaurants are within walking distance, as well as a small grocery shop. Even more restaurants to choose from in nearby Samara, just 5-minute drive away. La Caravana is intimate, magical, and utterly unique. I would recommend it to a friend!

Located in Potrero, 1 km from Penca Beach, LA QUEBRADA ECO LODGE Hotel Boutique provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a business centre and free WiFi. The hotel features mountain views and a terrace. We have fall in love from the moment the gate openned. Such a warm welcome by the owner! Everything is perfectly clean, all the bungalov equipment is new and modern, especially the A/C. Front terrace has a fully equiped kitchen, large fridge and a comfortable seating area either on the bar chairs or on sofa. Bed super comfortable, not too soft; bed linen just ideal for the hot nights. Lights in and outside the bungalov are selected for all activities you choose to do from reading to cooking. And the pool is just amazing! Wish we could stay longer than 3 nights.

Situated in Carrillo and only 200 metres from Carrillo Beach, La Puesta del Sol B&B features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This bed and breakfast offers a private beach area, a garden, as well as a bar. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. A lovely place to stay in San Jose! Very close to the beach. both the room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable, and it had air conditioning. The breakfast is delicious, the best we had during our 2-weeks travel around Costa Rica! We haven’t dined in the restaurant there but the bar in the garden is great! Especially that there is not really where to go around town after dark (which is a big advantage as Puerto Carrillo is calm and peaceful) :) And last but not least, very kind and helpful staff!

Situated in Sámara, 1 km from Samara Beach, Tuki Tuki Lodge offers accommodation with a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk and room service for guests.

The nearest airport is Nosara Airport, 17 km from the hotel. We loved our stay at Tuki Tuki. It’s a small resort located walkable to the beach. The staff is sooo friendly and really treat you like family. We LOVED our stay at Tuki Tuki and wish we could have stayed longer. Rooms were super clean and spacious! JP the owner/host goes above and beyond to make your stay incredible. Hazel the cook/ cleaning lady makes delicious breakfasts and does an amazing job keeping the place clean. We loved the small resort atmosphere and meeting the other guests. It truly felt like coming home to friends at the end of each day.
