More about.....Samara, the town, is located in Guanacaste Province on the northern Pacific coast. It is about 1.5 hrs from Liberia International Airport (LIR). The drive from the airport is along all paved roads, making it is an easy destination to reach. One of the main draws of Samara is its centrally located downtown. The downtown abuts the beach and is full of restaurants, trendy boutique shops, tour operators, markets and other amenities. Another draw is its surrounding forest and wildlife. Unlike areas to the north, thick tropical dry forest borders Samara. You can find animals like monkeys, iguanas, and many kinds of birds. Samara’s biggest attraction is its beautiful beach. Playa Samara attracts all types of travelers with its rows of palm trees and light tan sand. You will find 20-somethings grabbing a beer at one of the beachside bars, couples strolling at sunset, and children at play in the calmer ocean waters. You can do so much in Samara - swim, surf, kayak, zip line, snorkel, short or long trips, hike, rent quads, horse back, etc. or simply nothing at all.

Really liked this condo. Great view of the ocean! The place was clean, easy to check in, had a lot of small amenities that made the trip better: boogie boards, flashlights, well stocked pots/pans/utensils, beach chairs, etc. Owners has thought of many things to make guests comfortable.

This condo sits on a hill above Samara. The view is great. The condo is spacious. It is nice that it is gated and secure. Just note it is a long walk to the beach down the driveway, across a road and through town. We drove to and from the beach each time as we did not want to take the time and energy to walk. We appreciated and enjoyed the extras like beach chairs, umbrella, beach mats, boogie boards and cooler. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice. Now for the Cons: The owner John is hard to deal with if you have any problems. First of all, we were not sent a map/instructions on how to get there and had to stop in town to ask for directions to the condo. Secondly, the bathrooms were not cleaned before we arrived. There was blood, poop, urine and hair on one of the toilets. The shower floors were not cleaned either. Overall, the place could use a good deep cleaning. The owner quickly responded when we reached out to him but had a hard time accepting that everything was not perfect and made excuses. He was aggressive and accusatory at times. He did offer to refund us our next nights' stays if we wanted to find another place but that just wasn't feasible for us. We told him we would clean the bathrooms that night after finding dinner and then expected the cleaning fee to be refunded. He responded in an an arrogant and unprofessional way and told us that he felt 1/2 the cleaning fee was more than enough to be refunded. I don't agree. It took a lot of our time to deal with this after a long day of travel. The previous people paid a cleaning fee and we did too, therefore the condo should have been clean upon our arrival. It was not a pleasant experience to deal with John. I have stayed in a lot of rentals and have never had an owner communicate with me in such a negative way. Overall, this was a nice place to stay away from the busy part of town but still pretty close. Just beware that if you have a problem, it will not be a good experience.

The view is what initially sold us to rent the property, and it was spectacular. Some things we wish we had realized--the condo is at the top of a 100 foot hill which involves walking up 60 plus steps AND then a hilly gravel driveway....and in the heat, walking up and down once was enough for us. We also should have realized that having such a view toward the west would mean direct sun into the unit for many hours...and the a/c was set by the owner to not go below an assigned temperature. We had some mechanical problems--the washing machine was broken and the sink, toilet and shower in the second bedroom did not drain. The washer was never usable during our stay but the drain problems were resolved before we left. As the owner told us "It's just something we live with and repair as we go. It just comes with the territory"

I was travelling with my husband and two adult daughters. The view from the condo was spectacular. Food for the soul. The bedrooms were large and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked.The beach was close and beginner surfing was enjoyable for the girls. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely recommend to friends
