Not bad but not great
Pros:

This is a very affordable option for folks just spending one or two nights in Samara and want to stay on a budget, while still being within 10 minutes from the main beach and downtown. Most of the staff we interacted with were very nice.

Cons:

I don’t usually complain in reviews about anything, but I was a little taken aback that we found somebody else’s hair on our mirror and as well as the shower wall; which also had soap stains on it. Small details like this made me feel slightly uneasy about the quality of cleaning that happens between stays. After that at breakfast, not only was the breakfast not that great but the one waitress available was not the nicest. She wasn’t mean with us per se but she had the vibe of someone who doesn’t like their job and is mildly annoyed. The combination of all those small things left me unimpressed and not wanting to come back, unfortunately you get what you pay for in this case

Loved the property, room and absolutely lovely, caring and friendly staff and very tasty breakfasts!
Pros:

Loved the property, the staff, the room, the furniture, the closets and storage. Impeccably clean room, good AC and a great shower too!

Breakfast was fantastic, all staff are ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! and overall experience was great. Liked the chickens, roosters and wildlife around the grounds and the pool was nice for a quick dip.

Close to a fab, peaceful beach - just perfect for a few nights stay!

Cons:

The bed was a little firm and the pillows were too stuffed n firm for my liking so that made a great sleep a little tricky.
..and the incredibly RUDE people above smoking (not allowed) in their room / balcony in the morning and night. Staff went to ask them not to, and they continued to do it!

Wonderful service, friendly staff, great food, good value.
Pros:

It is located outside of Samara in a quiet area. It’s well kept and clean. Plus, the breakfast and dinners are delicious. It’s a very local Coastarican place.

Cons:

It would be harder to stay here if you didn’t have a car. There is usually one person who can speak English on duty.
