Hideaway Playa Samara

The staff were very friendly and worked hard. The location between playa samara & playa Carrillo was amazing. What beautiful secluded beaches. The pool was refreshing and a great way to escape the heat of the sun. They also offered beach chairs to borrow for the day. Everyone enjoyed breakfast!
Angela, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed our stay. The hotel was a 10 minute drive outside of Samara, which was crazy busy so nice to be in a quiet spot. 2 minute walk to the south end of Samara beach was great and this end of the beach is not crowded. Staff was super helpful and nice.

Friendly staff, quiet & safe, lush gardens, lots of wildlife, short walk to the beach, excellent food, but no microwave and oven as stated in the room amenities.
Susan, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at this hotel take great pride in providing the best possible service. We met the owner who was lovely as well. It is a small hotel with about 10-12 rooms so never crowded. It almost felt as though we were at a vacation house with friends. The pool was refreshing and the food and beverages delicious. I highly recommend the mango daiquiri. Our room was very large and comfortable with a covered patio. The grounds are beautiful and secluded. Close to 2 beaches and close to Samara as well. I highly recommend you stay here.

8/10 Very good

This property is quiet and away from town . A close walkable beach for sunset are great . best beaches are a short drive away . A car is needed to get to town or carrillo beach which is best beach nearby . Good food options in town less busy tourists than other places in cr . Car parking with bigger vehicle can be a challenge if full . Internet weak in rooms when all units are full . On site food was great.

Location was horrible. A long way from everything. Road to beach was a mud puddle (although it was rainy season). Very long way from town 3-4 km’s.

This place is a gem! The staff here were some of the friendliest that we have had the pleasure of interacting with during our stay in Costa Rica. Be sure to have Brian make you a margarita!
Jesse, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Hideaway was beautiful, The staff is incredible and so helpful and friendly, the food was delicious!! The only downside was the road to get there was REALLY bad, full of deep potholes. It would be nice if the Hideaway and other properties could divide the cost and lay some rocks, or at least fill the really big holes! Other than that, Perfect!!!

Stay here. The staff is amazing and go out of their way to make your accommodations great. The free breakfast is delicious as well as the lunch / dinner which is available. Drinks by the pool are tasty. We saw a monkey family from our room!!! Short walk to the beach which is never crowded. Just ask for Brian who is amazing...
Chris, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our family enjoyed Hideaway tremendously! The staff, pool, and room were wonderful! We loved the convenience of the dining options and also spotting howler monkeys and iguanas on site. You’re minutes from Playa Carrillo and Samara beach. We didn’t realize it is about a ten minute drive outside the town of Samara though. Highly recommend Hideaway!
Kemi, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a very nice, clean, Costa Rican Hotel for an authentic experience. The air conditioning worked really well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed watching the howler monkeys in the tree across the street and sitting by the pool. The location was a little far from town for walking so it was nice to have a car. It was a really short walk to the beach through a beautiful wooded area. We would stay here again.
