    The staff, Lorena the manager and Kim the owner were so nice and welcoming. The grounds were absolutely beautiful right on the beach. There were plenty of lounge chairs and hammocks on the grounds. A great pool to soak in.

    A magical place. It is on the beach so you can hear the waves and see the sunset from the property. My kids loved the small pool and surfing, going to the beach at will. It is simple and down to earth, reminded me of Kho Pangan in thailand 20...

Property info

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.
