I think the title of my review does it all: charming, rustic, clean and comfortable, amazing food and a comfortable place to stay. More details - the rooms are spacious and very comfortable and clean. Very simple, but attractive with a new building (I don't want to stay in the old one). Great views and fun to walk the entire trail. Good place to sleep/wake up natural air flow and the sounds of nature all around you. First time reading any chefs in such a hotel - I travel a lot and rarely leave reviews but the chef (not the chef) is world class! He takes orders himself, great local food. But don't order something you're used to like the cream of the Mushroom Soup - by far the best I've had anywhere including 5 star restaurants. Everything is made to order with natural and locally sourced ingredients. Can't wait to visit again (and eat there). Pleasant stay, Tours/activities. Short taxi ride into town. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

For the fourth time, we returned to the Fenix ​​Hotel on the Beach in Playa Samara. It has been sold and the new owner is committed to ensuring this perfect little piece of paradise doesn't lose its charm and he's doing a great job. We were greeted with warmth and quickly entered into our lovely little beach - antechamber (which is actually a large private bedroom, kitchen and sitting area, so it's more like a small cabana. To me, Fenix ​​is ​​authentic Costa Rican and exudes "Pura Vida." We buy fresh mahi mahi and giant prawns from local fishermen and locals sell household goods and fresh fresh fruit in the back of the truck. The fifteen minute walk to Samara is great in the morning or a stroll perfect walk into town for dinner.I rarely go back to the same place again and again but Fenix ​​is ​​in my heart and I will always come back whenever possible. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

I stayed three nights at the Hotel Belvedere and was not only pleased but impressed. The room was very clean and well decorated. Daily maid service is provided as well as toiletries, pool towels, mini fridge and coffee maker. The room was spacious and the AC was sufficient which was much appreciated. There are two swimming pools which are clean and have plenty of space around. You can even hear howler monkeys in the trees around the hotel. The beach is not even a five minute walk and there are markets and ATMs nearby. Everything in Samara is passable. The Main Street with lots of restaurants is just a few blocks away. Breakfast at the hotel is available at a surcharge, but you must register the night before. This place is great value. The owners are onsite and take care of their property and guests. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family and would definitely stay again. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

The location of the hotel can't be beat - right in the center of town and within walking distance to museums, restaurants and shops. A must visit National Theater right next door, Staff are very friendly and helpful. The happy hour offerings for hilton honors members are excellent, the service is great and the view from the bar and restaurant is just amazing. The same goes for the breakfast service. The rooms are very functional. I'm not a big fan of open bathrooms in hotels but for a few days it's fine. This is a historic hotel and building but very modern i.e. guests who might expect a lot of historic charm may be disappointed. Given the location and level of service I would clearly recommend the hotel. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Very nice and clean Hotel for family 4*, very well located close to nice area. The food (buffet format) is of very high quality and variety. For the beach you need to cross to the beach first, a few swimming pools offering drinks are quite close to the hotel. Classy animation, mostly singer/music, after dinner. Not for people who like Club Med style animation though, much quieter at the Riu Palace. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Costa Rica, a Catholic country in Central America, shares its borders with Nicaragua and Panama. It has the Pacific Ocean to the west and Carribean Coast to the East. Dominated by Roman Catholics, it is a secular country and respects all religions. Costa Ricans or the people living in the country are called Ticos. The country is known for a variety of wildlife, distinct culture and plethora of adventure activities. You will find yourself lost in the national parks surrounded by unique flora and fauna. Myriad adventures from surfing to horse riding will make your Costa Rica trip electrifying and memorable. Moreover, the high-spirited and hospitable Ticos, captivating nightlife and quiet beaches are the major attraction for tourists. #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

I can’t help but think that the monkey park gets the experience it provides spot on. We were probably there for an hour in total, which was perfect and didn’t leave us lugging around in the heat for too long. Plenty to do and look at in the park without being too expansive or exhaustive. €10 pp for entry is brilliant for the experience provided, and I must assume this as one of the best excursions available on the island in terms of value for money. A further €3 for animal food made the experience greater for my partner, who was extremely excited to be able to feed the monkeys personally, as well as the lemurs, some tortoise, and guinea pigs. Little to no queueing allows you to enjoy the experience that bit extra also, so kudos for that. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

Costa Rican Beach Jaco: Beaches in Costa Rica, like jaco, may well be one of the most important assets in the eyes of visitors. The beaches come in all sizes, shapes and types. One of the most known beaches is called Jaco. Jaco is one of the first beaches to become a real tourist magnet. It is also one of the closest beaches to San Jose. The beach itself is a three km long beach with nice sand and the water is inviting. However, as always when swimming in the sea, check out current riptides as well as keep an eye on the tide. Jaco has rapidly become one of the selected party beaches in Costa Rica and the long beach has a multitude of hotels, #easylife#palace#seafoodfeast#naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
