Bij aankomst hadden wij al 3x problemen met onze huurauto gehad, Laura van Macao Beach was ZEER behulpzaam en geduldig met contact zoeken met de huurmaatschappij. Wat een topper is dat. De locatie is geweldig. Wij hadden de 2 laatste huisjes, nummer 1 en 2, deze staan op het strand. De huisjes zijn simpel maar bieden genoeg. Centrale koelkast bij de receptie en supermarkt aan de overkant. Het ontbijt is bij een naastgelegen restaurant. Wij hebben een dolfijn excursie gedaan en er ruim 15 gezien. Sámara is een leuk dorp om 2 á 3 dagen te verblijven.

Niets

Location on the beach was excellent - 52 steps from the bed to a morning swim. Reception staff very helpful and efficient. Rooms comfortable and well appointed - the addition of AC to these rooms would make this a great place to stay for multiple nights. Breakfast a walk to a hotel 2 spots down the beach (average breakfast with very average service - but great location)

No Air Conditioning. It's fine for a short stay, but AC would really elevate the comfort level.

Macao beach was everything I hoped for: steps from the beach, tasteful setting, clean room, comfortable bed, and kind staff. The breakfast tasted good enough, service was great, and the location was fantastic, with a beautiful view from a lovely beachfront restaurant.

There is nowhere to sit in the room other than the bed - there is a small table but no chair. Many of the lounge chairs on the beach are broken so you can't sit up. There was some noise late at night from other people playing music and talking loudly outside their room.

Die Lage direkt am Strand ist einmlig. Es hat sehr viele gute Restaurants in der Gegend. Wir hatten das Familienzimmer mit einem Wohnbereich Küche, einem Schlafzimmer und einem Kinderzimmer mit Stockbett, hat aber oben keine Sicherung. Zusätzlich hat es im Zimmer noch ein grosses Bett. Angrenzend ist das kleine Badezimmer.

Es hat in den Zimmern keine Klimaanlage, nur im Wohnbereich. Die Küche ist ganz einfach ausgestattet. Hat aber einen grossen Kühlschrank. Badezimmer liegt angrenzend zum Kinderzimmer. Man muss als Eltern immer dort durchlaufen.

La ubicación, a pie de playa. Muy tranquilo y bonito.

La ducha no tiene manguera ni demasiada potencia, por lo que se hace difícil quitarse bien la arena, No hay alfombra ni nada antes de entrar a la habitación, lo cual recomiendo completamente para evitar llenar la habitación de arena cuando entras.

Sur la plage

Salle de bain

Der Aussenbereich und die Lage direkt am Strand sind top! Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet (zwar im Hotel nebenan). Es war das beste Frühstück in Costa Rica, das wir hatten (Auswahl von 5 verschiedenen Frühstücken, da findet jeder was - weniger Foodwaste als Buffet). Zimmer hatte Klima, die gut funktionierte und einen Venti. Wichtig da es meistens sehr heiss ist in Samara.

Zimmer war klein (an sich kein Problem für uns 2). Jedoch auch dunkel und kein Fenster. Deshalb wohl auch etwas muffiger Geruch. Kein Föhn. Dusche sehr wenig Druck teils nur Kaltwasser (hier nicht so ein Problem da heiss). Die meisten Liegestühle waren kaputt und nicht mehr hohenverstellbar beim Kopf, zudem waren sie unbequem.

L’emplacement était beau, sur le bord de la plage et des services.

Pas de couverte, seulement un drap dur; pas de linge à main dans la salle de bain ou pour essuyer la vaisselle; internet intermittent et incroyablement lent; très mal insonorisé ou hermétique, les portes et les fenêtres ne ferment pas complètement donc l’air climatisé sort et on entend tous les bruits de l’extérieur; avec les toits en tôle, on se faisait réveiller plusieurs fois par des animaux; rideaux laissent passer la lumière.

Front beach and on Main Street. Staff helpful and hotel is really clean.

Not all units have air conditioning. Ceiling leaking. Bathrooms blocking…

Excellent location with direct beach access. Nice and clean rooms and very stylish accommodation. Free sunbeds under coconut palms. Jacuzzi with beach and sea view. Excellent breakfast with many choices in very nice neighbouring beach restaurant. The host (originally from Italy) was very friendly and helpful. The Costa Rican staff was friendly and professional. Everything is well maintained. I personally like it that the hotel itself has no restaurant or bar. So if you like you can put drinks from the supermarket in the communal fridge and drink them on the free loungebeds. Easy going vibe. Highly recommended!

Cute, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Amazing location right on the beach

Very friendly staff. Wonderful location on the beach and close to the center of Samara. A cozy and human-sized hotel.

We would have appreciated the air conditioning. Even with the fan on, the nights were very hot.

Location!

Ventilators were poor, so it stayed (too) warm inside of our 2 bedroom apartment.

Great location in a great small beach town. Right on the beach and close to everything - it is a compact town. Really enjoyed the nearby sushi restaurant above the market!

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. There was a problem with our room and they found a solution instantly. Location was superb, right by the beach with plenty of shade.

The rooms were very dark, nothing to dry beachtowels etc. Was near to impossible to get fresh air into the rooms. Bathroom too small.

amazing location, beautiful hotel

A little warm without AC

Breakfast and dinner at sister location was exceptional. The staff was very hardworking and friendly. The hotel rooms and property was keep very clean. There is a very close grocery store to the property.

I liked every thing about the hotel. However, that part of Costa Rica is very hot. Because we had come from a much cooler climate in the United States, the heat took a little time to get used to.

perfect location, good breakfast, amazing value! air con worked great and it was nice and cool!

the pillows/bed were slightly uncomfortable

location

no amenities at all

The location! it is literally on the beach!

the room itself is quite warm, there is a ventilator though.

Great location right on the beach with a fantastic breakfast.

air con would be a nice addition!

Location location location. Rooms are small but you are not in them much. LOVED the beach. Rooms cleaned every day. It was hard to leave, and yes I would return.

it would be great to have a chair or two in the rooms, hooks are always a good addition.

The location was great - our room was just steps away from the beach. The town is right there with lots of restaurants and a grocery store across the street. The staff were great, friendly and accommodating! Having space in the fridge was great. Rooms were clean and comfy.

The parking lot is very tight and crowded - very difficult to move the vehicles. The room size was fine for our two night stay, but would have felt cramped if we stayed much longer, or if there had been a lot of rain. While there was always enough lounge chairs on the beach, a few cushions would help make it more comfy. The people in the room next to us were smokers, and they smoked right outside their room and in the common area of the beach. More restricted smoking areas would be nice for us non-smokers.

location was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

location and staff were amazing!

only minor detail is would have been better with AC

small property right on the beach. excellent location. lovely little restaurant a few doors down associated with it that you could use the pool and p fry voided breakfast. great shade trees on the beach.

nice location but would never go back.

We booked a 2 bedroom apt. Myself, my husband, a female friend, and our 7 lb dog. We happily paid the $10 dog deposit. At the end of our stay we were told that there was a "serious situation". We gave our dog water using a bowl in the apartment, and were advised that the bowl was now no longer able to be used for humans, so we would have to purchase the bowl. The "purchase" was facilitated, as they not only kept our $10 dog deposit, but another $10-15 USD from the "towel deposit" we paid for beach towels (the bowl was a $5 bowl). This was - OBVIOUSLY - outrageous. When I asked to be given the bowl i "bought" the front desk clerk and I went into the apt. She didn't know which bowl was which (there was obviously no plan to throw any bowls away). I took my new bowl and smashed it on the ground. The room: We were in room 10. 2 of the 4 or so windows, did not open to the outside, but to a staff area. There is no air conditioning, and because the windows didn't open to the outside, there was no cross breeze. The unit is 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. The only bathroom is INSIDE one of the two bedrooms, right by the bed. Our female friend had to come into our room and use the very not private (as to sound or odours) bathroom. it wasn't a great set up. The location is as great as everyone says. The sister hotel has a great restaurant. Samara is lovely. I may not have bothered to type this review but for the issue with the bowl - but the room was not great. Add the ridiculous and poorly managed cash grab for a little bowl - and I'd find somewhere else to stay. If you do go, DO NOT STAY IN ROOM 10!!

location is outstanding. staff are lovely, thank you Laura. rooms are clean and newly added cool water jacuzzi is very pretty. close to a super market and included breakfast served at a hotel practically next door.

the room we had was a little noisy at times as was next to the utility room.
