Great for families or couples who want a bit more privacy and easier access to the Congo Lounge. Work Remotely in the comfort of air conditioning with the best views in Samara - from a private office I just opened to guests of this condo to use. High-speed 200mb free wireless wifi internet with a designated access point delivers a solid internet connection 24/7 that you can confidently work from.
This condo interacts with the other condos in that it is on the third floor in a four-story building. The fourth floor has Condo Dahlia but the front section of the fourth floor is the called the Congo Lounge and it is open to all guests. There are tables, chairs, sofas, and hammocks, as well as amazing views, ocean breezes, and howler monkeys hanging from the nearby trees!
Alta Vista Condominiums is in the Sámara neighborhood of Cangrejal, on the north end of the bay of Sámara. Cangrejal is a Costa Rican neighborhood, an old fishing village, and is very quiet with no loud music or bars. There is a great casual restaurant in Cangrejal called "La Perla" which offers great healthy local cuisine at reasonable prices. Two blocks away from Alta Vista is a popular grocery store named "La Iguana Verde", which doubles as a liquor store.
Before you arrive, please message Hilda & Patrick using the Airbnb messenger with your arrival time. It will help to exchange phone numbers at that point so you can call Hilda when you pass through Nicoya on your way to Samara. Nicoya is 50 minutes away and lets Hilda know your exact arrival time. When you pull up, you will see the sign on the front door: Alta Vista Condominiums, and the four-story building. If you’ve called us from Nicoya, we’ll be waiting to open the parking gate for you! Our friendly administrator Hilda will greet you with the keys and begin your check-in.
The space inside Condo Catalina can be described as simple, modern, clean, and relaxing. The giant floor to ceiling windows that face the beach and ocean are the biggest picture frame you could have! There is a private balcony with furniture to enjoy this view from. The beds are upscale as are the linens, provided by Alta Vista. The open floor plan allows for easy movement, relaxation, and enjoyment of the view. There are three individual a/c units to keep you cool.
Most guests either choose to rent a car and drive from the airport to Alta Vista or take some sort of private transportation. I do not recommend local transportation; you'd be taking 3-4 buses! Just say the word and Hilda can help you make a reservation for a private shuttle van; we have a company that has been providing dependable service for almost a decade. They will meet you at the airport with your name on a sign and drive you approx. two hours to Alta Vista in a comfortable, air-conditioned van usually stocked with cold water and fresh fruit. The driver typically speaks enough English to get by. They will stop at a grocery store in Nicoya if you choose.

Paradise Again
Our stay could not have been better— helpful staff, immaculate condo, fantastic views and a comfortably short walk to town or the ocean. Nothing needs improving,

Fantastic Stay
We were two couples who stayed in the Catalina suite for a period of 4wks. The suite is large and bigger than pictured. The kitchen was stocked with necessary cook wear etc. The beds are quite comfortable. The view is astounding. You can watch the sunset every morning while you drink tea/coffee on the balcony. Patrick and/or Hilda are extremely quick in replying to any questions or concerns. And they are both very nice people to boot! The other guests in the building added to family feel of our stay. The location is excellent being mere minutes to the beach and a short walk into town. The pool is perfect to enjoy a nice cool off and the deck area was great to while away the day reading. One can easily move into a shaded area throughout the day. We highly recommend staying here, whether in the Catalina suite or any of the other units.

Love this place
Patrick and the team that takes care of this place does a wonderful job. This is the second time we have stayed here. This time we stayed for 16 days. It is walking distance to town and the beach. View is amazing. If we come back to Sara for a third time we will defiantly stay here again.
