"We had a late flight and arrived late, but were given excellent directions which made checking in seamless and easy. The location was close to the beach, very convenient, clean and quiet. We loved our stay here!"
"We enjoyed our stay at Hideaway. The house made brownie is delicious! We enjoyed the waterfall in the pool, and Samara beach was a short walk away. The staff was friendly and the food at the restaurant delicious. This place had the best ceviche!"
Heaven On Earth! Perfect Get-Away! Gorgeous Beach. Pool. Couples &/or Families.
10/10 Excellent
"This property has literally everything you could possibly need and more! From beach equipment, Alexa speakers and a fully functional printer. Paul was very responsive. It is an easy walk to the beach (in fact my family of 6 including young children only drove the first time) and there is plenty of stores and restaurants/bars nearby. The traffic from the road was fine but on the weekend the karoke bar across the street was a little loud , but to be honest my kids and I got a kick out of it. The restaurants are pricey and the place is a tad touristy but there is an affordable grocery store too houses down and Paul's condo has everything you need to cook a nice meal. My kids absolutely loves the LED lights in the pool and having plenty of bathrooms. The a/c worked great as did the wifi. If your looking for a walkable, convenient and comfy home near the beach in Samara this is the spot for you!"
"We had a great time staying here, the pool was perfect in the afternoon and everything is such a short walk away. They also had some beach chairs and umbrellas for us to take down to the beach. Samara is a great town and this hotel was the perfect place to stay."
Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples

"This was a great home for a family trip! Paul was very responsive to questions and the property managers were very helpful with booking a private boat tour for us."
"Best hotel in Samara, guaranteed! Affordable and smack downtown. Laura, Jessica and Karina were top notch with their fine customer service and friendliness. Pools and overall property is well kept. Had an amazing stay plus breakfast was a perk. Italian restaurant in site is a must! Extremely pleased. Will come back here."
"Tout était impeccable ; la chambre, la piscine,… Impossible de se sentir plus dans la jungle qu’à cet endroit! C’était magique de prendre son café dans le hamac ou se laver dans la douche extérieure. Le déjeuner était succulent et différent des « classiques » du coin.
La plage de Samara était à 5 minutes de voiture: toujours facile de se stationner. Honnêtement, la tranquillité valait la distance.
Excellent service, très accommodants.
J’ai tout adoré!!! Merci"
Best View in Samara! 4BR/3.5BTH. Walk to the beach or town.

"Bill's place is amazing. Of all the places to stay in Samara, this place felt perfect for our family of 7. It is easily walkable to the beach - I timed it at 4 minutes and 30 seconds. And several times on our walk to the beach, we saw and heard monkeys. The apartment has everything we could have wanted for a beach trip: beach chairs, separate towels for pool and beach, beach toys, pool floats, board games, umbrellas, etc etc. The host has really thought through what a traveling family needs for a beach vacation. The gated entrance with onsite attendant made us feel safe at all times (although Samara itself never felt anything remotely close to "unsafe") and it was nice to know someone was onsite if needed. The host, Bill, and the property management company were both exceptionally responsive and very helpful. We got held up in terrible Costa Rica traffic on our drive to Samara and the local property management company made it super-convenient to check-in after a long day of travel. While we had a rental car, a car would not be absolutely necessary here. You can still walk to many places in Samara from here, although it would probably be easier with a car to get to the more northern end of town. The A/C units worked well enough to make our stay comfortable and the view from the kitchen and the master BR are unmatched in Samara. The view from the pool was great too and we hardly ever had to share it with other residents. 10/10 we would stay here again."
