    Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach.

    Samara is a fairly busy small town that has a lovely beach. There are many other beaches nearby. It has quite a few restaurants and cafes to choose from. Lots of great fish. Prices are "reasonable" by comparison with some fancier locations along the coast, but all prices in US dollars are high for Canadians. Just two hours from Liberia airport, this town has a laid back feel. Not sure how long that will last.

    Samara is a funky little beach town with lots of little eateries and shops, and a number of restaurants right on the beach undercover with enough variety to make it interesting. There were also enough activities and beaches in the area to enjoy.

    This is a great little town with a beautiful beach and yummy food options. We wish we could have spent more time here to explore the different restaurants a bit more. We hope to come back soon! We also really enjoyed the neighboring beach of Carrillo, which we drove to - but it didn't have food options the way Samara did.

    A wonderful walkable town with many restaurants, excellent couple massages, friendly community, and beautiful beaches. I did the Warner preserve tour with a native Samarian - he was EXCELLENT - a fantastic visit. My husband and I are thinking about coming back and staying much longer. The community seems very low key - just the right pace for us :)

    Very easy to get around.

    Very easy to get around. Everything is close and you feel safe walking there. Very friendly local people. I would recommend checking out the restaurants Las Olas, AhoraSi, Mana, Malehu coffee shop, L'Ulvio, and the Saturday local market.

    The beach and ocean are beautiful.

    The beach and ocean are beautiful. There are lots of restaurants and fun bars to have a drink. The city government has to work harder at keeping the town clean. Sidewalks, store fronts and some restaurants need to be improved, there were so many flies at one of the restaurants where we ate, that we ended up having to leave. There is very limited parking, there should be a place where excursion buses can park further away from town, it feels chaotic.

    Honestly could not fault this property, we stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our trip and it was a perfect way to finish an incredible stay in Costa Rica. All the rooms face onto the beautiful gardens and pool, with a small seating area for each room which was a very peaceful and quiet area. Breakfast was cooked fresh each morning, and each breakfast was different and absolutely delicious! The staff are so friendly and are happy to help with anything. Would definitely stay here again!

    We had a room on the 1st floor, with a balcony . Sitting there felt like being in the jungle! Jammi and the 2 male staff were friendly and helpful. 5 to 10 minute drive in to Samara for restaurants, shops, medical centre etc. Jammi provides pasta or fish dinner if you don't want to go out in the evening. Same sort of price as restaurants. Beach not as pretty as many in Costa Rica but wide and probably good for families. Paddling pool on site. Free parking

    we are so grateful that we found Bahia- a real treat for us on our 3 week stay in Costa Rica. It has been so carefully thought through and lovingly created and all the staff are incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive. The whole place is spotlessly clean and it is such a treat being so close to tue beautiful Samara beach- literally a few steps away from your room.

    The hotel is beautifully located in lovely, landscaped garden with a perfect pool. The rooms were comfortably sized and good beds. All the staff were very helpful in arranging various details and excursions for us. It is a short walk into the town of Samara which is great for the beaches and variety of restaurants.
