Only about 1 mile (down potholed dirt road) from Samara. My family was amazed by the beauty of Costa Rica after arriving here after a long travel day. They upgraded our family to the biggest Villa at the top of the driveway because it was open. It was very nice and secluded. It has a small private pool and outdoor dinning area. The foliage is used for privacy between the villas. The grounds were beautiful! The receptionist was very helpful with recommendations and let us keep our luggage there a couple hours after checkout. I would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed my stay and hope to visit again in the future (when the weather is a bit nicer). The property itself had everything I needed, but the beach and two very good restaurants were within walking distance. The family that runs the hotel is great.

    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.

    this hotel is in paradise! the hotel is very nice, we had a room on the groundfloor (easy with heavy suitcases) near the swimming pool, good airco and fan, fridge. great breakfast (also the choice of yoghurt with granola, something different after the typical breakfast, pancakes, or eggs and bacon everywhere), breakfast and diner on the beach. we can really recommend this hotel and wish we stayed here a few more nights to explore Nicoya. Samara is a nice and small village!

    This is a beautiful boutique property a 2 minute walk along a dirt track to the most southerly spot on Playa Samara. We loved that spot on the beach which we mainly had to ourselves. The hotel have plenty of beach chairs,umbrellas and towels which you can borrow. Our room was very large with a lovely seating area and a patio. The breakfast was excellent and we also ate there on 3 evenings and enjoyed our meals especially the dips. The staff are always friendly and cheerful.

    We live in Costa Rica and escape to Samara as often as possible. We have stayed Casa Maiana for many years under prior and found the new owners Thierry and Christina to be gracious, welcoming and available to answer any questions you have. Casa Maiana is perfectly located for discovering Samara on foot - close to the beach, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets but off the beaten path and quiet. Highly recommend!
