"The suite was very spacious. The patio was large with a swing hammock and dining table. You can walk one block to the beach. We also had a cat visitor hang out by us. And a giant lizard by the pool. The pool was very nice. The property is quaint and small and perfect for a peaceful stay. And price was great! Wish we stayed longer but we wanted to try different properties in the area. This one is definitely our favorite in the area. "
"Loved my stay here! The staff were super friendly and always happy to help with tour ideas and tips for things to do. We had a flat tire and the owner was very helpful with letting us use a phone and making sure we were taken care of, it was really appreciated! The pool was amazing with the best views—definitely a spot I could hang out all day. My room was cozy and really comfortable. The area was very quiet which made relaxing and sleeping easy! Overall just a great vibe and experience—would definitely stay again!"
"Great location at Samara. We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town. "
"This place was the highlight of our trip! The room was spacious and clean. The property grounds were immaculate and gorgeous! The staff was helpful and friendly and the food was delicious! The pool overlooking the sea was awesome! Samara is a short drive away and the beach is within walking distance from the property! We highly recommend this place! "
"This is a perfect romantic getaway to relax and enjoy time together. The meticulous details of the decor, plant life, landscaping, pools, made us not want to ever leave. We wanted to become full time residents. The rooms have high ceilings creating an open airy comfort. Rooms had private balconies and patios that surrounded the pool. The bedding was comfortable and immaculately clean. This Italian owner created a hideaway for travelers to relax, enjoy and feel warmth, comfort, and the true essence of Costa Rica’s Pura Vida. The exotic foliage surrounds the pool and the pool tile and design replicates a Roman bath. The presentation at breakfast was at least 6 star Michelin rating. The attention to detail, the attentive, kind, cheerful, and accommodating staff, address all of your needs. There is even a library balcony for one to read and watch the sunset. The absolute relaxation one feels while staying in this hotel reminds us all to enjoy and appreciate others and enjoy the beauty of the environment and our surroundings. We will be back!"
