Loved It!!

This place was amazing from the second we arrived. Staff person checking us in was polite, accommodating and made you feel like you were best friends. Because it’s a smaller hotel, we got to know all of the staff and they couldn’t have been nicer people! On site parking was easy. Location was quiet except for some road noise. Walking to Playa Samara beach was convenient and took less than 10 minutes down a dirt road. Room was large with a separate foyer area that had a sink and mini fridge. Pool is nice. Breakfast was good as were the drinks. We did not eat lunch or dinner so can’t comment on that. Three minute drive to Playa Carrillo - which is an amazing beach. Seven minute drive to downtown Samara. Nothing negative to say about this place - check it out!

This is a decent option for staying in/near Samara. Bear in mind it is a five-six minute drive to town/main beach stretch. The staff were excellent, particularly Loydes, who was so genuine and helpful. The pool is great for kids. Bathroom was a bit dated and moldy unfortunately. Included breakfast was nice and appreciated.

Nice property with friendly staff and excellent pool. We were not affected on the north side of the first floor but could see how some rooms on the 2nd floor on the south side could be bothered by road noise.

Stunning coast but Average stay. Requires a hire car or you will be a captive as walking to beach or township (7km) on the busy road outside the property not recommended. The staff overall were polite / effective but the front desk in particular seemed challenged and a poor communicator in English on local advice but was a willing booking agency. Good pool / nice garden. Comfy bed but room & bathroom v tired: shower emitted constant odour. Tired entry. All suggest under-investment pre/post covid. In-room Coffee machine had 1 capsule on arrival and the few we got after many asks we then paid for on check out: no issue with that, but not clear at outset or explained by front desk when we asked (BTW Capsules were Not an issue at 2 other hotels in CR). Empty mini bar. The gardener burned off in the perimeter of hotel on 2 locations in one day, causing toxic smoke to foul the air across the hotel and pool area, so we departed the premises on both occasions. Shame on management. No instructions in room for anything including satellite TV and even that was only set up in Spanish (no English channels) and when we asked the front desk to explain it he did not know so explained it badly so TV limited to streaming. Given the cost, its Service levels were acceptable but limited due to low staff numbers: Food menu OK but not cheap and the “specials” board did not change while there and no incentive or events like happy hour to stay and drink / eat meals so went elsewhere. Underwhelmed.
