Fantastic centrally located getaway!
This place was perfect, centrally located and had everything you need for vacation. We were concerned about the corner location on the busy road as mentioned in other reviews but it was absolutely fine. A little noise here and there but never woke us up or was a bother, rather it added to our experience of a bustling foreign getaway. We used a fan that drowned out 99% of the noise. The check in and out process was super smooth and Tyron was lovely to chat with. The property felt secure and well cared for and the pool was a huge bonus for enjoying the evenings with a glass of wine. Tons of restaurants, grocery stores and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Plentiful hot water and cold AC. All around wonderful place and wonderful hosts. We’ll be back soon!

Loved it / Hated it
Condo itself was great. 2 large bedrooms with tons of storage. 3rd bedroom had bunk bed with double bottom and single top. Storage for this room was in the hall. Two bathrooms. A/C and ceiling fans in all the rooms. Utility room with washer/dryer and beach toys and chairs. Kitchen equipped with lots of pots and pans for cooking. Really good wifi. 2 minute walk to the beach, grocery stores, countless restaurants. Too bad because in our 35 years of travel it is the noisiest accommodation we have ever stayed in. The condo is above the only intersection in the small town. Major mode of transport is dirt bike, motorcycle, or quad. The rev down to turn the corner and rev up away from the corner. Heavy trucks use their jake brake coming down the hill into the town. Open air bar with live music across from bedrooms 2&3. Partying hostel across from bedroom 1. So expect noise late into the night and early in the morning because people head to work @ 5:30 am. We had no sleep for 12 nights. Industrial earplugs didn’t do the trick. If you are a light sleeper, you might be in trouble. Too bad it was too noisy for us, as everything else was perfect.

Perfect Samara Experience
We love this place. Spacious, well-equipped and a very quick walk to the beach and restaurants. Noisy at night but worth it.

Great location
Located in town. You can walk to anything. Everything you need in the kitchen to be able to cook your own meal if you desire. Plenty of room in the living area and bedrooms. Nice covered area next to the refreshing pool.

Very comfortable and very handy.
We just returned to chilly Indiana after 3 weeks at Samara, Costa Rica. Our stay was perfect in our three bedroom condo on a very busy corner. We adjusted to the noise of the intersection after a few nights. Except for the noise of the traffic, the location was perfect for it was in the middle of everything. Ridley was an exceptional property manager who took care of our needs. Small problem with pool chairs at the beginning, but his purchase of new chairs made the other pool guests, jealous. Thanks. No plans for next year yet, but we may be back.
