Property information

We are proud to be the #1 guest-rated hotel in Samara, Costa Rica on Trip Advisor. The Fenix Hotel is a small (6 rooms and the Casa), beach-front hotel just footsteps from the ocean. We are not an all-inclusive, luxury resort, but more like your own one bedroom, one bathroom apartment/home at the beach. The rooms are in a semi-circle and face the pool, gardens and the ocean. Your hotel room walks out onto the patio with a pool, followed by the beach front. There are palm trees and hammocks, sun beds, outdoor seating, gardens and a BBQ area. Our neighborhood has a small grocery store, along with local deliveries of fruits and fresh ceviche.We are a 15 minute beach walk to main street in Samara with 20+ restaurants. Most of our guests return or have been recommend by friends. We look forward to you joining the Fenix family.
