I made my reservation at the Fenix based upon the reviews found here on TripAdvisor. After experiencing it for myself I understand why it has received so many 5-star reviews. The owners, Phyllis and Bill, are super friendly and helpful and I think that I was the only first-timer staying there; the rest of the place was full of long-time... more

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights during the green season, and had a wonderful time. The owners are friendly and helpful and we felt safe and relaxed at all times. The hotel is a little bit outside of town but there is everything you need within 2 blocks- including a restaurant/ bar, fish market, small grocery store, and... more

Our family of four stayed at the Fenix Hotel for four nights, and we were absolutely pleased with everything about this little hotel. The location couldn't be better - you literally walk out of your room and you're on the beach! We had to move the chaise lounges back during high tide...it is truly beach front! We liked the fact... more

We just returned from a 9 night stay at Hotel Fenix. We loved this little hotel situated right on the beach! It has a great little pool, beautiful landscaping, very comfortable rooms with a complete kitchen, fans in each room, hot water, a bodega where you can get all your cold beverages, laundry.., . If you are looking for a... more

A great place to stay is one that overcomes the sudden adverse conditions with grace and style. The Fenix Hotel did this with high marks. We recently stayed at the Fenix for two nights during what turned out to be the first tropical storm of the season. Torrential rains and high winds were in full force, but our adventure was... more

We stayed at the Fenix once again this January and February, it is even better than last year, the rooms have all been updated and the updating was very well done. Had a great time and enjoyed this wonderful little place even more this year. Booked already for next year too. more

The kitchen had pots, pans, dishes etc. There was a safe in the bottom cabinet. the kitchen table had fresh flowers on it... more

Hotel Fenix was one of our favorite places we stayed at in Costa Rica. The room was surprisingly big and very well furnished (it was like having our own little apartment). Having a full kitchen was really useful. The best part is you are literally ON the beach. Since you are a outside the main town, the beach by the... more

We stayed here for two nights and wished we could have stayed longer. It was perfect for us. We loved that it was steps away from the beach and outside of downtown Samara, but not too far. The rooms are comfortable, but nothing fancy. The living area was a little tight for space. However, we did have the room with... more
