BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach

📍 Province, Samara
★★★ 8.5 (27 reviews)

"The Room was OK with a fake plastic window, the smell of the bathroom was so bad, I needed to go outside behind the car to take a dump. We put the fan on full throttle into the bathroom. To add to that the beach is around 1,4 KM away. Try to not go there."

★★ 8.4 (3 reviews)

"Rooms: Classic hostel bedrooms with all the amenities. The walls are quite thin and you can hear everything. Service: Everything was very straightforward, and the girls who worked there are all lovely and helpful. Location: The location is amazing. Two blocks down from the beach, and there are bars and restaurants all around. Definitely a great place to stay if you are looking to socialize."

Villas Verdes

Villas Verdes

📍 150mts Oeste de Banco National de Costa Rica, Provincia de, Samara
★★★ 9.1 (39 reviews)

"This is a great place for families! The staff was very friendly. We had our own villa and our daughter and her family had their own villa. We hung out at my daughter's place because it was bigger and by two swimming pools. Our room needed a better mattress and better curtains to block out the light. The kitchens are very well stocked and there is a grocery store across the street for easy access to food. The beach is a 5 minute walk down a dirt road."

★★★ 9.3 (37 reviews)

"So much better than I had imagined. Everything about the unit we stayed in (3 bedrooms, dip pool, AC in bedrooms) as well as the hotel was perfect! BOOK. You won’t be disappointed. My 11 and 12 year old loved it so much, especially waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys, watching the hermit crabs at the hidden beach a close walk away, and spotting the iguanas around the property. The shared pool was a favorite was well! We swam in it every day."

BellaVista Suites by Villas Verdes - Samara Beach ★★★
"I loved my time at this hotel! I came here as a solo traveler and felt very safe and also found that the small size of the hotel gave it more of a tight knit feel that made it easy to make friends at the hotel. I enjoyed chatting with Jaizel, Krystal, and Paloma and they were friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean, good breakfast, and in general a good value for the price."

Villas Verdes ★★★
"We stayed in the house for one week. Very spacious accommodations- one room had two double beds, main had king and the little apartment attached (own entry) had one twin. The private pool is the gem here if you have kids (they do have a main pool for the other villas, which was never very crowded). But we probably jumped in the pool each time we returned home and hung in it all the time. Great temp. The “hot tub” is cold (which is fine, it’s 90degrees can’t imagine using a hot tub. They supply towels (beach and main) and have a large bin of beach and pool toys (including boogie boards). We had full kitchen to nice for fridge and microwave to reheat stuff for lunch to save some $. We had monkeys in our back tree- amazing! A few large tree frogs in pool at night. Grocery store right across from hotel (better then one down the street, though if you need cash use the atm in Pali, the others in town did not work. You are right in town so bring a portable noisemaker as you get road noise. The minuses? Apparently they serve breakfast but they have NO info when you check in, so had no idea! The showed are awful. Very hard to turn on and one of ours even broke… so that was frustrating- not once did we get hot water. Air in both bedrooms- one downstairs would be helpful- but leave both bedrooms on and door open and it cools down. You can walk to many restaurants and the road to the beach is right in front of hotel. Being a lot bug spray and ton of sun tan lotion.!"

Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde ★★★
"We stayed in a well-equipped little hut with air-con (necessary), a kitchenette with all you need to make simple meals, and a beautiful porch with chairs and tables and a hammock, all tucked away and seculded in the jungle garden but 2 minutes from the pool. Bautiful beach is 15 mins walk away through the jungle, and Sámara beach - and others - are a short car ride. Breakfast was delicious - tried everything on the menu over our stay - and coffee was the best I've had. The staff were super helpful with everything; via them we booked the whale and dolphin tour with Octopus Tours, which was a superb way to spend a morning. "

Hotel Sol Sámara ★★★
"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"

Hotel Selva y Mar Sámara ★★
"Chillaxin’ vibes at this place. Helpful hospitable staff. The minimalist rooms are clean and tidy. Shaded seating around the hotel pool gives relief from sunny hot days.. Ronald did a great job everyday serving breakfast to our large group. His professionalism is exemplary. We stayed in The Villa with a full kitchen and living area; great space for a group."

"Nice clean, convenient location in Samara. The rooms and pool were very nice. I would not recommend the breakfast but there are many places to eat nearby. About a 5 minute walk to the beach. One of the nicer places in Samara. The staff were all very nice and responsive to all of our needs"
