“A Hidden Oasis”
The location was so close to the beach and town!!! Easy to walk everywhere. The pool area i called my oasis, lush plants all around, located in the courtyard so private and beautiful. Loungers at the pool and outdoor dining area right next to it. They offered breakfast for a fee but I did not partake. I loved the decor as well, custom woodwork throughout.Brigitte and Lothar were perfect hosts always ready with answers and very accomodating. Loved it so much, extended my stay for several more days.

Lovely staff, very attentive and really help you out when in trouble (I got sunburnt a little and the owner cut some aloe vera for me which really helped). The place is also well located, close to the beach but not on the main street so a quieter spot. The pool is also good to refresh when hiding from the sun.

“Immaculate accommodation in fantastic location”
Immaculate accommodation. The little touches go a long way, attention to detail in the accommodation was beautiful. The hosts are welcoming and full of knowledge on places to travel to, they recommended Carrillo Beach and Barrigona Beach, which were both beautiful and we loved, both have shade. They also lent us beach chairs and a cool box. Breakfast was also really good, continental was more than enough, fruit, juice, tea/coffee and bread with toast and jam. You can also choose more options. Definitely recommend.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, just steps away from the beach, which made it incredibly convenient for relaxing and enjoying the ocean. The breakfast was great, with a nice variety of options to start the day. The entire property was spotless, and the rooms were clean and comfortable, offering everything needed for a relaxing stay. The pool was a wonderful bonus, providing a refreshing escape after a day in the sun. One of the highlights of the stay was the lovely dog on-site, who added a unique and welcoming touch. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always ensuring that we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located spot near the beach. I’ll definitely return!

“A lovely place to stay!”
It was the perfect place to start my trip off on the right note! The owners were welcoming, helpful and friendly and have created a very comfortable oasis. The room was small but perfect for one or a couple (Weather was great so i didn't spend much time inside!). Pool was lovely to dip in and cool.down, and created a pleasant spot to have a casual chat with other guests. Breakfast was good, and loved the fresh fruit plate. The location is an easy walk to town and the beach, and I enjoyed that it was across from some treed areas around the little stream...Howler monkeys were a treat to watch from the porch, along with many birds. I would happily recommend!

“Peacefull place”
Samara Palm Lodge in Playa Samara, Costa Rica, is a charming small-scale hotel that offers a delightful stay for its guests. The lodge is tastefully decorated, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. One of the highlights of the property is its lovely swimming pool, surrounded by a beautiful inner garden, which offers a peaceful retreat for relaxation. Additionally, I liked the convenience.

“Vacation paradise at Samara.”
The landscaping is super pretty at the property. The pool is very well-maintained and clean. The owners are friendly and very nice, they provided what we needed during the stay and beyond. The porch seating is nice and convenient right by our room. We enjoyed having coffee by the porch. The breakfast was great too!
