Comfortable, clean, safe place for a family

We had a really nice stay at Residencies Samara with my family. The place was immaculately clean and very comfortable. It was about a block down to the beach, and the hotel let us borrow boogie boards and sand toys for our kids. Our kids loved the pool. We felt very safe there. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance. Our kids did surf lessons with Tico's Surf School and had a great time. We contacted the property for recommendations on things to do in the area, and they recommended and set up a dolphin boat tour for us with Samara Adventures. We were picked up at the property, and had the BEST day. We saw tons of dolphins, several humpback whales.

Had a wonderful experience at Residencias Samara. A stones throw away from everything in Samara, bakeries, restaurants, beach, activities, swimming and live music. Rooms are well equipped clean and spacious. Fans and AC work well. Kitchen well appointed. Shower had plenty of hot water. Laundary facilities provided. Pool was great and staff was great for arranging activities and giving useful advice. Would highly recommend this location.

When can we go back? : )

Our suite was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was a lovely, air-conditioned space to come back to after excursions to the beach and town. It's a very convenient location. The staff is friendly and helpful. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

We are a family of 4 with kids ages 7 and 12. This place was absolutely perfect for us. The friendliest staff and super clean. It has all the necessities for cooking if you'd like but it's also right in town near all the restaurants, groceries, shopping and the beach. We stayed at 5 different places in Costa Rica on our trip and this was by far the best accommodations. It is updated really nice and the pool area is really nice as well. The bedding was really comfortable and there's in room wifi. Another nice feature is that there is a key lock box outside the front door so that you can lock the apartment but not have to take the keys with you. They also have a laundry service if you need it. We used it and it was great. Don't hesitate to book this place.

The location of this property is nice as you can walk through town on the way to the beach. The deck and pool is also a nice place to hang out. The big downside are all of the additional and somewhat "hidden" fees. Laundry was listed as an amenity on Expedia yet we were charged $24 for a small, single load. There was also a "cleaning fee" despite the notice that there is NO daily cleaning. A nightly fee for our 6 year old child ("extra guest") and also a fee for a roll away bed we could have done without. All of these fees were unbeknownst to us until we looked into the bill further. There was also a large storm one evening which left the property without running water well into the next day when we checked out, however, there might not be much the hotel can do about that.

Beau site fidèle aux photos. En plein cœur de Samara. Déplacement très facile et rapide vers la plage ou les multiples restos. Notre chambre donnait sur la rue principale et nous avons trouvé la circulation (motos et 4 roues) très bruyante. C’était le seul désagrément. Excellente communication via WhatApps, merci pour le très bon service. 👏

Spacious, clean, great pool, and location!

Residencias Samara is an oasis within the oasis of Samara. From the friendly staff to the comfortable rooms, Residencias Samara was the perfect homebase for the Samara leg of our honeymoon. We found it to be wonderfully relaxing and well situated within town and close to the beach. We spent a significant portion of our time enjoying the pool when not at the beach or the great restaurants nearby. We would definitely pick Residencias Samara again on a return trip in the future.

L’endroit idéal.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. L’hôtel est très bien situé. Juste assez loin de la cohue et très proche des bons resto et de la plage. Tout se fait à pied. La cuisine est bien équipé et la piscine fait du bien en fin de journée. Nous recommandons.
