Quiet and comfortable with a wonderful host.
Pros:

A lovely quiet location close to the town but away from the energy. JP the host gave us a tour and offered great recommendations.

Cons:

Having a car did help as the property is a bit out of town.

One of the best vacations of our lifes and a very special place.
Pros:

We loved the familiar atmosphere at tuki tuki that the lovely host JP created. We met a lot of great people just by hanging out at the pool and bar and all the facilities are well taken care of. The location is also just right, not too central so its very relaxed and you get to see some animals like monkeys roaming around the place and not too far away from the beach and city center so everything is easy to reach by foot. As an added bonus the well equipped gym is right next door and if youre into that stuff they even offer muay thai and BJJ classes.
We cannot recommend tuki tuki enough, it has a fixed place in our hearts and we are already planning when to come back.

Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft!
Pros:

Die TukiTuki Lodge in Sámara hat uns rundum überzeugt. Alles war sehr sauber, das Frühstück lecker und abwechslungsreich. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der sehr nette Gastgeber, der für eine herzliche, fast familiäre Atmosphäre sorgt.
Der Pool ist schön und gepflegt und lädt zum Entspannen ein. Die Lage am Dorfrand ist ideal: ruhig, aber dennoch erreicht man das Dorfzentrum und die Strände in wenigen Gehminuten.
Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können die TukiTuki Lodge uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Alles Bestens - nichts zu bemängeln

Bien por el precio
Pros:

Buena ubicación. El gallo pinto es muy bueno, pero el café no. Su dueño, JP, y las señoras que trabajan con él son muy agradables. Es un lugar tranquilo y seguro.

Cons:

El cuarto necesita más cuidado, sobre todo limpieza. Además el colchón necesita un cambio.

Hôtel atypique par sa balade dans le parc avec le guide très sympathique.
Pros:

L’emplacement du petit déjeuner, vue magique…
La balade avec le guide dans le parc.

Cons:

Le prix du repas du soir…le prix du vin blanc
Attention, Google Maps ne connaît pas la véritable entrée de l’hôtel, il nous amène au restaurant par une route compliquée.

Pros:

La habitación es muy amplia, las instalaciones muy bien cuidadas. Se pasa excelente, podría volver muchas veces más.

Cons:

Realmente no tengo comentarios negativos. Tal vez lo único es que no dan servicio de limpieza durante la estancia, lo cual tampoco es que me haya afectado

Pros:

Een sfeervol verblijf, gezellig zwembad en de gastheer JP was heel gastvrij. Hij gaf ons een rondleiding in zijn tukituki, een mini citytrip door Sámara. Hij heeft ons ook geholpen om contact te maken met een kennis die in Sámara woont.
Deze lodge is zeker een aanrader!

Wonderful!
Pros:

What a gem of a Bnb! The grounds and pool are lovely and well maintained. It's all very tranquil. Our room was modern, spacious, and clean with a super comfy bed. A variety of birds were our morning wake-up call - it is Costa Rica! We also heard and saw howler monkeys here in the early evening. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruits, a smoothie, eggs, gallo pinto, and more. JP, the host, was so friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, he gave us a tour in his tuki tuki of the local beaches, Samara, where to park our rental car in the busy town and good places to eat. Thanks, JP! We would definitely stay here again.
