BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach

"The staff was very friendly. Excellent service. Would definitely stay here again. Breakfast is included and very good. We had the breakfast every morning for 7 days and did not get tired of it. Absolutely wonderful and beautiful place to stay. Walking distance to the beach and many restaurants. Room was clean and had AC. Again, the staff is WONDERFUL."

La Flor de Coco

"I spent a few months in this terrible place cause I didn't not have another option. Owners are living onsite and looking at everything you do. They get annoyed by everything whole they watch you on camera, then they send you messages to ask you not to let kids splash in the pool. The place we stayed was filthy, dust everywhere because the apartment didn't have windows up top, just a mosquito screen and crap smells from the drains. Owner mid twenties daughter and son operate this chicken coop sh$#& hole, who are extremely passive aggressive and fake. Walls were paper thing and windows didn't seal so I woke up many nights at midnight 1 or 2 am to cigarettes smoke that filled my bedroom from people smoking down by the pool. The place is on the main 160 highway, only road through town, loud motorcycles, cars and trucks woke me up on a regular basis. Same hotel people will party and keep you up cause nothing is sound proof. Hotel laundry matching at 11 pm woke me many times. Gladly low season started and I could find another place in town. Never come to this place, save your headache and money."

"A perfect fit for me. Small, Quiet and Very Clean. I first met Cynthia at the front desk. She is fantastic and fun and can do it all! A short walk through a neighborhood and you’re on a scenic beach! Snorkeling was great fun. I hope to return to Hotel Sol Samara and their beach. Thanks Cynthia and Inez, ✌🏻 Molly"

Samara Beach Hotel

"Avoid This Hotel – Serious Hygiene Issues We recently stayed at this hotel near Sámara Beach and were extremely disappointed. After two nights, we discovered a red ant nest, complete with eggs, under the mattress in the bed where our 4 year old child was sleeping. This resulted in her being covered in bites on her arms and legs. Initially, we thought they were mosquito bites, but upon discovering the infestation, it became clear they were from the ants. While we understand that Costa Rica’s tropical climate encourages encounters with nature, we’d already overlooked the ants crawling across the bedroom floor, assuming it was part of the experience. However, finding an active ant nest in the bed was a step too far and completely unacceptable. We brought this to the staff’s attention and were offered another room. However, given the extent of the issue and our loss of trust in the hotel’s cleanliness, we decided to leave early. Despite escalating the matter to the reception, then the manager and even the owner, the hotel refused to refund the unused night we had prepaid for. Their handling of the situation was dismissive and unprofessional, prioritizing $115 over basic customer care and safety. If you value cleanliness, safety, and proper service, I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. Ona separate note, the hotel in general is tired and run down. Doors hanging loose, shower head falling off, cracked walls, cracks in windows, but on the plus side, the staff are lovely and the pool is nice 🤷"

Villas Verdes

"My husband and I have been traveling to Samara Costa Rica for 15+ years, usually staying during February to escape the cold northern temperatures. Samara is the perfect destination for that! Villas Verdes is located within easy walking distance to the incredible beach or the town center with nearby access to groceries stores and numerous restaurants and shops. Upon entering the grounds at Villas Verdes, you feel the outside world melt away. The beautiful well-maintained gardens and sparkling pools are inviting. The villas are pleasant, brilliantly colored, warm, and welcoming. There are various options with 1-3 bedroom villas available. All are exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated with well-appointed kitchens and comfortable beds. There is an affordable delicious breakfast offered on site. There is secure off-street parking available with a security guard monitoring the grounds and front gate at night. The owners Koriynne and Angelo are wonderful! The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. The front office ladies are very accommodating. They will help with making a reservations or advice on an excellent restaurant. I highly recommend staying at Villas Verdes!!!"
