If you would like to forget about everyday life close to the beach, listening to the sound of the waves, then Bahia Beachfront is the perfect place to stay. The owners together with one of the most caring team of staff that we have ever seen created a unique atmosphere where you will feel both on vacation and at home at the same time. The food is generally amazing! We loved the rich and tasty breakfast and the lovely staff was always accomodating my husband's vegan lifestyle. Waking up in front of the sea every morning was one of the most amazing experiences. The both vibrating and relaxing town of Sámara is just a 5-10 minutes walk away at the beach, where you can play beach volleyball, go surfing, have a nice smoothie or delicious meal. At night you can also enjoy the beautiful terrace and tasty drinks and food at the hotel's restaurant. We were sad to leave this truly unique pearl at the beach and will surely be back in the future!

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.

Gorgeous, peaceful tropical gardens - we saw howler monkeys, coatis and iguanas while relaxing in the hammock outside our bungalow. Private plunge pool was great for cooling off and the main pool was lovely and quiet. Bungalow was well equipped for self catering, you can also get a great breakfast at the hotel (extra cost). We loved Samara - perfect waves for learning to surf, loads of fab restaurants and a great relaxed vibe.

Nathan was such a fantastic host - helping us in several ways (directions/dinner/breakfast/advice). The view from our room was just amazing. Breakfast was delicious too. This was the perfect place to enjoy our time Costa Rica - only wish we could have stayed longer! Best to have a 4x4 to get there.

    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.

    The location is really nice! Close to the beach and nice chill out area at the hostel. Our room (Economy Room) was very small. For 2 nights ok but for a longer stay you should book a bigger room. The restaurant is nice. Samara Beach is one of the best beaches from Costa Rica. Very beautiful and you can surf (5$ a board per hour)! You should bring a hammock for the beach. Best Thing Ever!

    We booked the last room and unfortunately the one that faced the main street of Samara. Not the hotels fault. The room was ok. We did not have the breakfast at the hotel. Very nice bakery across the road, if you had enough beans and rice.. The pool and the back garden was very nice.
