Beautiful little oasis tucked away from the main area of town but an easy walk to the beach, shops and restaurants.JP is such a nice man and a fabulous host. Clean, beautifully done rooms and a lovely common area around the pool. We saw a family of monkeys beside us in the trees on our last afternoon.

Breakfast included with hotel stay. Every morning fresh fruit was served along with several breakfast options The beach was a very short walk away and a wonderful place to see a spectacular sunset. Also Carillo beach a little farther but palm trees provided shade if you wanted a break from the sun. Beautiful beach and great for swimming. Dinner was as good or better than any restaurants we experienced in town

FAQs about hotels in Sámara

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

We loved Samara.

We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef protecting the bay, so it is safe to swim for everyone in the family. The beach is clean and nice sand for walking. There are a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores for eating out or cooking in your apartment.

Samara is wonderful.

Samara is wonderful. It's a touristy beach town, but a very low-key one. The beach was never terribly crowded, the restaurants were never very crowded, and it was not full of obnoxious, loud partiers. Just a laid-back place full of friendly people.

Very laid back small village.

Very laid back small village. Tourists were very chill during my month long stay. Food at sodas and restaurants was very tasty. Do not expect resort type accomodations. A true surfer would go elsewhere but I saw many people getting their first rides here. Everything is walkable. I attended Intercultura Spanish Immersion School for 4 weeks. I hope to return for another month next year. All residentss appeared to enjoy their lives with quiet contentment.

It was just perfect. We were treated like family and felt at home from the first second on. The people do it by heart and help you with anything you need even if they don’t have to. It’s just the kindness and the pura Vida lifestyle. The rooms and the toilets are always clean and even if you don’t want to chill in your room you can easily relax at the couch area with the tv. From our side an absolute 10/10. We would highly recommend this hostel over any hostel we stayed in Costa Rica and are definitely planning on coming back

Argdivan Beach Hostel in Sámara is an absolute gem! The location is incredible, right next to the beach, and the atmosphere is super welcoming and chill. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and they are a great resource for local tips. Everything is clean, and the common areas are perfect for meeting new people. Highly recommend for any traveler visiting Guanacaste!
