Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach.
Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach. There are many other beaches nearby. It has quite a few restaurants and cafes to choose from. Lots of great fish. Prices are "reasonable" by comparison with some fancier locations along the coast, but all prices in US dollars are high for Canadians. Just two hours from Liberia airport, this town has a laid back feel. Not sure how long that will last.

Samara is a funky little beach town with lots of little eateries and shops, and a number of restaurants right on the beach undercover with enough variety to make it interesting. There were also enough activities and beaches in the area to enjoy.

This is a great little town with a beautiful beach and yummy food options. We wish we could have spent more time here to explore the different restaurants a bit more. We hope to come back soon! We also really enjoyed the neighboring beach of Carrillo, which we drove to - but it didn't have food options the way Samara did.LuanUnited States - 10Scored 10

A wonderful walkable town with many restaurants, excellent couple massages, friendly community, and beautiful beaches. I did the Warner preserve tour with a native Samarian - he was EXCELLENT - a fantastic visit. My husband and I are thinking about coming back and staying much longer. The community seems very low key - just the right pace for us :)BuschUnited States - 10Scored 10
Very easy to get around.
Very easy to get around. Everything is close and you feel safe walking there. Very friendly local people. I would recommend checking out the restaurants Las Olas, AhoraSi, Mana, Malehu coffee shop, L'Ulvio, and the Saturday local market.AlexandraUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
The beach and ocean are beautiful.
The beach and ocean are beautiful. There are lots of restaurants and fun bars to have a drink. The city government has to work harder at keeping the town clean. Sidewalks, store fronts and some restaurants need to be improved, there were so many flies at one of the restaurants where we ate, that we ended up having to leave. There is very limited parking, there should be a place where excursion buses can park further away from town, it feels chaotic.

- From € 48.91 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 257 reviewsThe most INCREDIBLE hostel and place to stay on the Pacific Coast. The new owners are amazing, the staff is friendly and warm, and Liz and Nico were especially helpful in making sure my stay was as fun and comfortable as possible. I stayed in the Jungle Dorm as a solo female traveler for 2 weeks and wish I could have stayed even longer. While there are limited amenities, this is the place go for making friends, having fun, and just generally partaking in the best vibes in Samara Beach.MeiraUnited States

ThomasGermany - From € 64.80 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 498 reviewsThis hostel is in the heart of Sámara, great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing fancy just a good room for the price and can walk to everything. 7 minute walk to the beach. Grocery stores across the street and restaurants all around you. Go on the dolphin tour, for $50 US it was four hours long. We watched dolphins for over half and hour then we watched 8 humpbacks for about 35 to 40 mins, it was amazing!!!!!LeanneCanada
- 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 140 reviewsThe place is amazing and peaceful. It is calm, safe, very clean and the rooms are big - especially the bathroom with hot shower was really comfortable (extraordinary for Costa Rica). Federica and Roborto are super friendly and open to give advice about the surrounding area. Also I would like to mention the great really special breakfast and the yoga classes in the morning! Everyone that stays in Samara should visit this great hotel.EgliSwitzerland

The pool was surrounded by lush greenery, the restaurant was beautiful, and right on the beach with delicious food and drinks. The beach was gorgeous and the ocean was safe for all my kids to play in. The location of the hotel was perfect - right on the beach and a block from town. The beach was also very walkable. It truly felt like paradise on the grounds of this hotel.ArielleUnited States
- 9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 80 reviewsWe live in Costa Rica and escape to Samara as often as possible. We have stayed Casa Maiana for many years under prior and found the new owners Thierry and Christina to be gracious, welcoming and available to answer any questions you have. Casa Maiana is perfectly located for discovering Samara on foot - close to the beach, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets but off the beaten path and quiet. Highly recommend!
KristenCosta Rica - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 800 reviewsLocated in the cutest little surf town, Tico’s was everything I needed for my solo adventure in Costa Rica. The staff immediately were welcoming and always ensured I was safe, supplied me with awesome recommendations and even went on excursions or to dinner with me. 11/10 would go back and recommend to all my friends and family. I miss them already.
