Le paradis se trouve chez Maite
Pros:

L'accueil de Maite , la quiétude de l’endroit dans la nature et la jolie décoration des lieux. La piscine et l’air climatisé dans l’appartement qui est un atout. L’odeur des serviettes , tout sent le propre!
Un coin de paradis!

Cons:

Les fourmis dans l’appartement, mais nous sommes dans la nature au Costa Rica alors on s’adapte.Les oreillers sont un peu fatigué mais vu la beauté des lieux , on ne s’y attarde pas .

Pros:

The place is beautiful, very cozy and private. The pool is great. Maite is an amazing host, answering all requests. We mentioned it was our daughter's birthday and she surprised us with a very cute decoration.

Simply an amazing accommodation that is rare to find at this price point.
Pros:

What a wonderful place! The owners have really taken a lot of pride in the property with attention to details (like usb chargers built into the night tables) and creating a relaxing retreat with natural surroundings. Great pool with a large toad that visits in the evening... :) The AC works great and the layout of our 2 BR cabin worked well with a BR on either end and kitchen in the middle. Would definitely return to this place.

Cons:

BRs are open to the kitchen area so not private without hanging a sheet over the BR openings but this was not an issue for us. May be for others.

A wonderful experience in Samara!
Pros:

Our stay was one of our favorites in Costa Rica. The location is excellent, private yet close to the beach, a small grocery, fruit stand and sodas. What made the stay extra special was Maite’s attention to detail and welcome. A highlight was the breakfast that was offered for a small additional fee and is brought directly to your cabin, it was fantastic. Also, laundry service is available and was appreciated as we were in the middle of our trip. Wonderful for families. Relaxing!

Pros:

Fijn huisje met heerlijk warm(!) zwembad.
Fantastisch ontbijt, echt heel lekker.
Gemakkelijke communicatie via whatsapp.
Afgesloten tuin, met aapjes.
Goede wifi.

Cons:

Wat kleine bedden, wel met klamboe !
Om naar strand/centrum te gaan heb je wel auto of ander vervoermiddel nodig (maar dat weet je als je op de locatie let bij het boeken).

Pros:

We loved everything. The room was incredibly cosy and spacious we felt like we were home. The garden is very well maintained and the swimming pool is just perfect. There are only 2 spots in this hotel so we basically had almost all the time the full garden and swimming pool for ourselves. It's really near the beach and Samara city center is very close by car, walking is fine as well but it can get challenging with the heat.

Cons:

Nothing it was all great.

We loved our stay at Cabañas Lamaite, this spot is a real gem if you're looking to stay in Samara!
Pros:

We had a wonderful time at Cabañas Lamaite. It was a quiet little oasis outside of the main town. The rooms were comfortable, the home-cooked food was delicious, and Maite was an attentive, welcoming host.
