Casa Naranja Jungle Villa

Veintisiete de Abril

"We weren't prepared for how remote this property is and the extended rainy season made it even more so with very poor road conditions. Be sure to stock up on EVERYTHING you'll need before going up there as a trip to any store or restaurant will be lengthy. We had to leave after staying only one of our two nights as we just didn't have enough food. There is a restaurant on the property which would have been a complete game changer but it wasn't open during our visit in mid-November. The times...

Top Sámara Hotel Reviews

Residencias Samara

8/10 Good

"We had a great time in Samara! The apartment was a perfect size for our family of 4. Great location - so close to little shops, bakery and restaurants. The apartment and pool area was very clean. The included breakfast was delicious! We always felt very safe and appreciated the entry by code and lock box so we didn’t have to carry keys with us. They also assisted us with an amazing turtle egg laying night excursion. It’s a short walk to the beachfront property (where breakfast is served). Beach pictures are a little misleading. Yes, lounge chairs are available but there isn’t much room to use them. In front of the building is a surf school that has palapas for rent; meaning you can use the hotels chairs but not directly in front and no shade found. I think they have 1 umbrella to use but one of the other guests was using it. Overall, we loved Samara and loved this place and would definitely stay here again."

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"We loved the hotel, however we were woken up by loud construction going on in the property each morning and our shade was broken in our room which was never addressed after we reported it several times. The only other thing is if you are going to this hotel DO NOT FLY INTO SJO. THE TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS AND 5.5 hour drive. Expedia is at fault on this. They should not even have it as an alternative. It’s like wanting to go see the Alamo and they fly you into Dallas."

Hotel Giada

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel in Samara, guaranteed! Affordable and smack downtown. Laura, Jessica and Karina were top notch with their fine customer service and friendliness. Pools and overall property is well kept. Had an amazing stay plus breakfast was a perk. Italian restaurant in site is a must! Extremely pleased. Will come back here."

Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples

10/10 Excellent

"Exceeded expectations! A beautiful home and property. Communication was excellent. We literally felt like we were at home. Thank you, Leo and Samara Rentals for making our first time to CR so welcoming and memorable"

Best View in Samara! 4BR/3.5BTH. Walk to the beach or town.

10/10 Excellent

"Bill's place is amazing. Of all the places to stay in Samara, this place felt perfect for our family of 7. It is easily walkable to the beach - I timed it at 4 minutes and 30 seconds. And several times on our walk to the beach, we saw and heard monkeys. The apartment has everything we could have wanted for a beach trip: beach chairs, separate towels for pool and beach, beach toys, pool floats, board games, umbrellas, etc etc. The host has really thought through what a traveling family needs for a beach vacation. The gated entrance with onsite attendant made us feel safe at all times (although Samara itself never felt anything remotely close to "unsafe") and it was nice to know someone was onsite if needed. The host, Bill, and the property management company were both exceptionally responsive and very helpful. We got held up in terrible Costa Rica traffic on our drive to Samara and the local property management company made it super-convenient to check-in after a long day of travel. While we had a rental car, a car would not be absolutely necessary here. You can still walk to many places in Samara from here, although it would probably be easier with a car to get to the more northern end of town. The A/C units worked well enough to make our stay comfortable and the view from the kitchen and the master BR are unmatched in Samara. The view from the pool was great too and we hardly ever had to share it with other residents. 10/10 we would stay here again."

Heaven On Earth! Perfect Get-Away! Gorgeous Beach. Pool. Couples &/or Families.

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay right in Samara. The place was spacious and well stocked with beach gear. Large kitchen, very clean, comfortable beds and the AC worked great. Can be slightly noisy at night since you’re on the main street through town, but being central with a short walk to the beach was great. Such a nice town."

Private, spacious, well-equipped & luxurious retreat. Perfect for large groups.

10/10 Excellent

"10 out of 10! This house is even better in person than it is in the photos. It was a great place for our family of 14 to spend a magical vacation together. The house is nestled in the jungle and it feels wonderfully secluded, yet it’s just a 5 minute drive to the town and a lovely beach. The zero edge pool is quite large and has a large shallow end which is perfect for small children and a substantial regular depth end as well. The home beautifully appointed and has all the practical amenities you want including lots of games, books, pool and beach toys, and a well equipped kitchen. An added bonus is the amazing howler monkeys that live in the trees surrounding the house. They provided endless entertainment for all of us. Our host Sue was incredibly gracious and immediately responsive to any questions we had and once on site Mauricio and Leo couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. I highly recommend Casa Mesakeca."
