Pros:

Sympathique hôtel, au bord de la plage. Le personnel est adorable. Les petits déjeuners et dîners très bon, faits maison. Le parc est magnifique et rempli d'animaux.

Schön angelegte Unterkunft, strandnah, mit ein paar Mängeln speziell bei unserem Aufenthalt.
Pros:

Schön angelegt mit Gartenanlage und Möglichkeit zu frühstücken und abendzuessen. Das Frühstück war lecker! Große Dusche. Sehr nah zum Strand!

Cons:

WLAN-Empfang war bei uns im Zimmer sehr schwach oder gar nicht vorhanden, was schade war. Der Mülleimer, in den auch das benutzte Toilettenpapier sollte, hatte leider keinen Deckel. Es gab einen Stromausfall und das Wasser wurde kurz abgeschaltet morgens (wegen Bauarbeiten). Der „Pool“ ist nur sehr klein.

Lovely quiet resort-like place to stay to enjoy the best of Samara.
Pros:

Loved this place - the staff, the breakfasts, the close location to a very quiet beach - all was wonderful. We were removed from the busyness of Samara but walking the beach to town was lovely with a couple of beach bar/restaurants on the way.

Cons:

My ONLY negative comment would be about the hard beds - just not my preference. The room was wonderful, air conditioning worked well and the setting and landscaping for the property were terrific.

Not a place I would book again
Pros:

The grounds were really nice and we enjoyed the pool. The room was clean. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

The room was extremely dated. The air conditioner didn’t work very well. The toilet sounded like it was exploding when it was flushed. The roosters crowed all night.

Genial, cocina exquisita e ideal para familias y personas que disfruten de la tranquilidad.
Pros:

Zona de Sámara y hotel supertranquilos y seguros.
A 5 min de Playa Carrillo.
El desayuno tipico y panqueques muy bueno.
Cenar en su restaurante es exquisito y muy cómodo en precio.
Tiene una relación calidad precio muy conveniente y poco usual de conseguir en Costa Rica.
Ideal para familias

Cons:

Me hubiese encantado poder almorzar ahí mismo en su restaurante, porque su cocina es muy buena. Pero solo lo abren para el desayuno y para la cena de 4 pm a 8 pm. Pero entiendo que es un hotel pequeño, con poco personal, y recalco que son super amables.
