“A little hidden oasis on the edge of Samara”

Peaceful, well kept and good value for money. Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Good location if you don’t want to be in central Samara which is a busier pace. Walk down to the local beach for sunset, it’s beautiful. If you get a chance do the jungle, beach sunset horse riding with the paddock 400 yards down the road. It was magical. We hire a quad bike for the 5 days we were there, which was great for getting around and exploring nearby beaches and trails. We sat out in the evenings playing backgammon and were visited by a family of raccoons and had howler monkeys swinging above us some mornings, just perfect.

Bungalows are very private. The grounds were very well maintained. Location was great, close enough to walk into town but away from the noise.

“Romantic jungle retreat”

Beautifully layed out and maintained Tropical garden. Spotlessly cleaned spacious cabins, quiet efficient AC and fans. Great pool. Loved the outdoor shower. Helpful staff made us feel at home.

“Highly recommended Samara retreat”

wonderful small hotel set in a jungle like environment, everything was lovely including the staff with the owner welcoming us in person. Room was ideal for us and a great decking area to sit with fans. The pool was an added bonus although its only 5 minute walk to a quiet beach

Fantastic property. Villa's are super comfortable and very private. Staff were friendly and the breakfast provided was exceptional. I would highly recommend this property and stay here again.

“The best accommodation on the coast!”

So Beautiful! The surroundings of the rooms are the prettiest tropical gardens- rooms super comfy, nice outside room area, great pool and around the pool relax area- delicious breakfast - absolutely top notch and excellent value for money.

“Peace, nature, friendliness - total relaxation.”

Incredibly tranquil. Each bungalow has its own privacy. Coati, raccoons and birds furtle around unbothered by the guests (French, Canadian, UK). I had a swim, looked up and say a tiger heron standing at the end of the pool as if it were analysing my technique. Extraordinary. The staff could not be more helpful nor friendly. It’s super peaceful and a short drive (you ideally need a car) away from Samara. Breakfasts superb and a nice bar for a drink by the pool. There is a superb secret beach accessible by foot 15 minutes walk away through the forest. Sublime. Visit now. The area has the feeling it’s about to explode and embrace a lot of development. I really hope it can hold the tide back. It’s a special special place.

“The place to be”

Absolutely amazing 👌 Beautiful garden, well maintained, the casitas exceptional

Lovely place with lots of wildlife and jungle hike to a secret beach. Car required due to being a bit off the beaten track. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Nice pool, great room, beautiful garden with wildlife,

“A Paradise in the Nature”

The manager was just Great and the lovely young lady was very helpful and knows a lot about the country. You can see in the „house jungle garden“ a family of howling monkeys.

“Perfect we loved it”

The owner miran was so welcoming as was Sergei. An oasis of calm after an actioned packed few days travelling around Costa Rica.

Friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pool

Everything was superb.

“Lush tropical paradise!”

Gorgeous, peaceful tropical gardens - we saw howler monkeys, coatis and iguanas while relaxing in the hammock outside our bungalow. Private plunge pool was great for cooling off and the main pool was lovely and quiet. Bungalow was well equipped for self catering, you can also get a great breakfast at the hotel (extra cost). We loved Samara - perfect waves for learning to surf, loads of fab restaurants and a great relaxed vibe.

Lovely location , felt like you were on in the middle of the jungle . Quite helpful staff, nice pool area and delicious breakfast .

“Own car essential”

Beautiful gardens, friendly & helpful staff, lots of wildlife.

“We travel for memorable experiences not hotels but Gecko Verde was both.”

Beautiful landscaping, well designed cottages, and unobtrusively gracious and knowledgeable staff give this resort the feeling of an oasis. Activity and dining recommendations were flawlessly on point and each led to experiences we would have missed if staying elsewhere.

“Ottimo”

Bungalow top, staff disponibile

“Very beautiful and private cabins surrounded by gorgeous blooming native plants and trees”
