A perfect little hotel to stay at and explore Sámara. Loved my room on the 1st floor overseeing the pool with lots of light and just enough space. I appreciated the little details: an umbrella, a fridge, a bottle of water, an umbrella, a safe drawer, and a beach towel. The beach and the town center are walkable distance. The owner Bridgette is super knowledgeable and has helped me a lot with my trip in Costa Rica. That alone makes this hotel a standout on my trip in Costa Rica.

I really enjoyed my stay and hope to visit again in the future (when the weather is a bit nicer). The property itself had everything I needed, but the beach and two very good restaurants were within walking distance. The family that runs the hotel is great.

The hotel staff were so helpful and kind. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The pool was exceptionally clean. Very peaceful environment, short walk to town. My room was large, very comfortable bed and was cleaned every day with fresh towels for the beach as well as showering each day. Felt very safe here.

Safe-feeling, family-friendly vibe in this town!

Safe-feeling, family-friendly vibe in this town! I think the locals encourage tourism, as they go out of their way to be friendly. We regularly left our belongings on the beach and never had any trouble. There are tons of American- and European-influenced restaurants and prices reflected American prices (though, portions were huge!) The beach itself is perfect for families - shade trees, soft sand, long flat beach, predictable two foot waves and zero rip tide. So safe, so fun! Surfing, kayaking, and horseback riding all available straight from the beach. Great lil town!

The beach was gorgeous.

The beach was gorgeous. Plenty to do if you like to do tours. Prices were higher than I was expecting. Groceries were more expensive than the USA. Restaurants were comparable in price. We went in February and it was VERY HOT if you weren't on the beach. The town was very tourist oriented.

The beach is wonderful.

The beach is wonderful. It is not overly crowded and great for walking and cycling. Lots of healthy and nicely presented food available as well as comfortable night spots for happy hour and live music. There are many family activities and it's safe and totally walkable. No car is needed.

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

We loved Samara.

We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

Everything! This is a lovely little family run hotel, and they were so helpful and welcoming. The location was five minutes walk from a beautiful local beach - playa Carrillo - and close to plenty of restaurants of differing types. Only 15 mins drive from Sàmara, a chilled beach holiday town. The rooms are lovely, very high quality fixtures and fittings. We really would encourage you to stay here, and if we are ever in Costa Rica again, we would stay here again.

This is a great little hotel located right on the Samara Beach. They have a very nice lounging area on the sand. We loved everything about this place. The restaurant is open all day until 9 PM and the food is delicious. The staff in the hotel and restaurant is very friendly and helpful. I hope we can come back to Bahia Hotel again in the future.
