6/10 Good

Superb dining

An older hotel but well-maintained in a good location in downtown Samara only a 5 minute walk to the beach. It has the best restaurant we have experienced in Costa Rica.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice property right on the main street, and a quick 5 minute walk to the beach. Rooms were clean and nice. Staff was excellent.

4/10 Fair

Our stay was fine . The hotel is a bit run down and dated
Victoria, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We specifically requested a quiet room as neither of us sleep well. When we got there Jessica at the front desk informed us that we were booked in Room 10 which was directly over the busy street and right adjacent to a spaghetti of power lines (for those sensitive to electrical fields). We explained our need for quiet and our request in our booking reservation and while she was very understanding and nice to deal with she informed us that there was nothing she could do to change us as all other rooms were reserved already. We contacted Expedia and explained the situation as we had booked for 2 nights and although they called the hotel only the manager could approve a refund and he was in Italy for another week. Again Jessica was as helpful and understanding as she could be but we were forced to accept a noisy room overlooking a busy street on a Friday and Saturday night and left feeling exhausted from poor sleep as a result of all the noise. For those who react to electrical fields the bunch of multiple wires all connect very close to the room. The hotel itself is nice and they have a quiet pool at the back away from street noise. Had we been able to stay in a room off the street we would have been very satisfied so make sure if you book that you dont get a room facing the street. It is very noisy!

8/10 Very good

Habitación renovada, moderna, cómoda. La comida en el restaurante muy buena al igual que el desayuno incluido. A pocos pasos de la playa.
Marco, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location at Samara. We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town.
Roberto, 1-night trip

The room was much smaller than I thought it would be but it was right on the pool which was nice. The staff were very attentive as we had trouble with the AC and safe and they helped right away. Great location.

Nice quiet little hotel located on the main street in Samara. Close to shops, restuarants and bars. Nice swimming pool and good WIFI. Clean and comfortable room.
Gerard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the reception spoke pretty good English and were very personable and the hotel is a relatively easy walk down to the beach about 5 minutes away. They are next door to a great place to hire an ATV or tour. Even in low season we found multiple restaurants to est at within easy walking distance.
