Adresse au calme à proximité de Samara
Pros:

Une adresse haut de gamme pour séjourner dans les environs de Samara. Au calme surtout. Loin de l'agitation de la ville et surtout à 1mn en voiture d'une plage incroyable.
Les chambres sont très confortables. Les 2 piscines sont un vrai plus dans cette région où il fait très chaud.
L'accueil est très bon également. Je recommande à 100%.

Cons:

Tout était parfait.

Eine perfekte Unterkunft. Super nette Besitzer!
Pros:

Wir hatten das Appartement für vier Personen. Die Küche war perfekt ausgestattet, so dass wir uns komplett selbst versorgen konnten. Alles picobello sauber. Den Pool hatten wir fast für uns alleine.

Cons:

Nichts zu beanstanden.

Beautiful apartment and wonderful hosts
Pros:

Lovely location - beach is spectacular, just 5 minutes walk. The finishing touches in the apartment are great and the standard of fittings is high. Especially liked the coffee machine on the balcony - just right for an early morning cup.

Cons:

All excellent - nothing to dislike.

Schönes Hotel in Strandnähe
Pros:

Unser Zimmer lag in einem separaten kleinen Häuschen und war gut und modern ausgestattet. Klimaanlage, Dusche, Sauberkeit und so weiter waren tadellos und die Küche war ausreichend eingerichtet für die Zubereitung von Frühstück und Abendessen. Den Pool des Hotels konnten wir mit benutzen und die ganze Anlage um den Pool herum sah sehr schön aus. Wir konnten den wunderschönen Playa Carrillo fussläufig erreichen, ebenso wie einige Restaurants und Läden. Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft empfehlen.

Cons:

Die Lage des Häuschens fühlte sich etwas komisch an innerhalb des privaten Grundstücks der Inhaber und es gab zwar eine kleine Terrasse vor dem Haus, aber da schaute man direkt auf den Nachbarzaun und dort gab es einige Hunde die teilweise viel gebellt haben.

Had to use the vehicle to get to Samara town 6KMs away.
Pros:

Very nice huge room (#6). Two nice pools. Very quiet. A couple of good restaurants close by for breakfast or lunch.

Cons:

Had to use the vehicle to get to the beaches and Samara town 6KMs away... but that was really not an issue but would have liked to know before hand.

Schlaflos im Casa Buenavista
Cons:

Die Klimaanlage oder die Wasserpumpe war so laut, dass wir mit Kopfhörern geschlafen haben. In meinem Fall hat sich der Schall auf meinen Körper übertragen, mein Körper wurde sozusagen zum Resonanzkörper.
Das war so unangenehm für mich, dass wir nach der ersten Nacht in ein anderes Hotel umgezogen sind. Wenn ich in einem Hotel nicht schlafen kann, ist es einfach schlecht.
Das war das erste Mal in meinem Leben, dass ich/wir ein Hotel gewechselt haben.

Que du bonheur!!!
Pros:

J’ai tout aimé de cet hôtel, il est très propre, avec de belles commodités, très agréable de prendre la douche dehors, la piscine est belle, propre, chaude, Vincent et sa mère sont très disponibles. Durant notre séjour au Costa Rica, c’était le plus agréable des hébergements que nous avons fait.
