The breakfast was phenomenal! The hosts provided fruits with yogurt and granola, coffee, juice, and then the second course of breakfast was different kinds of breads/croissants with jellies and then eggs!

The location was perfect! We loved everything about it - staff, facilities, domestic and wild animals, heard, and most mornings, saw howler monkeys! Loved the dogs and potbellied pig we named Miss Piggy. Per Pablo's instructions, we didn't feed or pet her and didn't leave food on our porch. The dogs were friendly and loved having them around to pet and enjoy. So peaceful, beautiful, and quiet. Good price for a studio. Beach within walking distance, a huge plus! Restaurants, coffee shops, and market within walking distance.

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.

What a beautiful little hideaway nestled beachside within walking distance to nearly everything. Staying here was a dream come true, and more than I had ever imagined. Our bungalow was incredibly charming and fully equipped with everything required for a leisurely stay. Every detail of our accomodations was so comfortable and inviting that I wanted to just stay in the room and soak up the atmosphere. However, the beach was so beautiful, we couldn't resist. The restaurant was absolutely amazing, and served the finest tuna that I have ever had! The staff and the owner were so very attentive, offering personalized service. I had such an amazing time at this resort, that I am planning another trip back to the very same place.

This lovely little property is off the beaten track. It is nice but basic. I would recommend it if you want something family run, at a good cost, and don’t require polished luxury. Each room is a stand alone unit and there was a large amount of space in our family unit. They offer local style breakfast and some nice options for dinner. Liberia is only a 10 minute drive away for other dinner options.

Beautiful room and property. Very well maintained. Strategic location only minutes from a variety of beautiful and diverse beaches. A bit of two worlds: in a neighborhood of countryside feel only minutes from ocean rustic beaches and beach resorts. Very thoughtful and comfortable set up in the room. The separate open kitchenette area allows refrigerating local ripe fresh fruits for example which is something I really appreciate. Kitchen is well equipped to cook meals.

We really loved everything about the resort. The staff was incredibly friendly and accomodating, the grounds including the pool and beach area were beautiful. We loved the small infinity pool and bar at the beach area! Breakfast was exceptional-something for everyone. We had 3 dinners and they were all fantastic. Our room had a balcony with a view of the ocean and sunsets (although we were down on the beach at sunset time). We even saw a family of monkeys climbing through the trees!
