We were a little bit shocked as we arrived since we just witnesed a fatal car accident on the way to Samara (roads were good but Tiocs drive like lunatics), so we were happy to arrive on safe grounds. The rooms are very basic but clean. the pool area is nice. restaurant and food good. Staff was helpfull. the hotel... more

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE WITH CREDIT CARD. We called and reserved a room. They said that we would have a pool side villa. Based on that I reserved for 4 nites. When er arrived the place was empty and far removed from Samara itself. I asked to see the room. They showed us a room that was at the... more

I admit to having some reservations about going here when we read some of the horrid reviews. But they couldn't be further from what we found when we arrived. First of all, this is not a fluffy 5 star resort in NYC. It's in a Central American jungle. There are mosquitos, flies, and lizards everywhere. If you can't handle that,... more

I recently had the pleasure of spending time at this resort with a group totalling 30 people. Our group, being previously cautioned that most of Costa Rica is "third world", came in with limited expectations. I was overwhelmingly surprized at the picturesque setting of the grounds. Despite the ongoing construction and upgrades, there was still ample peace and quiet everywhere... more

Lets see where do I begin? The rooms were extremely filthy. The floors were so disgusting that you couldn't walk without shoes not even in the shower. The beds had sand in them leading me to believe that the sheets were never changed between guests. The pool was dirty. Bugs and ants all over the place. Filthy is the only... more

Whatever you do please dont pay attention to the negative reviews. Many hotels, including this one, pride themselves in being as rural as possible. Think of all the construction that would have to take placxe to accomadate guests who need their hotel to be "bug free". Give me a break! Costa Rica is a place to come to to enjoy... more

I'll start by the positives which unfortunately aren't many. We were looking for a hotel to stay and from the outside this hotel seemed perfect. It had a guard which offered us some safety, it sat right on the beach (which is rare for Samara) and the Villas looked really cute. Due to the location, we expected to pay a... more

The villas are right on the beach. The vary large pool is great if you have kids who would rather the pool than the ocean. The rooms are not luxury. The seating includes concrete slabs that double as extra beds (there mattrresses). The bedrooms are Motel 6 quality. The nice part is the tropical vegetation. There is also an open... more

Rather than give my opinion of this hotel, I will just state the facts of our experience, and let you be the judge. This hotel is an attractively laid out collection of villas. The garden areas are well maintained, and the whole complex sits right on the beach, though not all of the rooms have an ocean view. Our villa... more
