How to get Here SamaraCostaRica

Welcome to Playa Sámara, a stunning beach destination on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast!
To reach us, you’ll typically arrive through one of the main airports in the region — San José or Liberia — and then travel by car, shuttle, or bus.

From San José (Juan Santamaría International Airport):
Rent a car and enjoy a scenic 4-5 hour drive (about 220 km) via Route 1 to Liberia, then Route 150 to Sámara. Take a bus to Nicoya, then a local bus to Sámara (total travel time around 6-7 hours).
Or choose a short domestic flight from San José to Liberia or Nosara, then continue by land.

From Liberia (Daniel Oduber International Airport):
Liberia is the closest airport, just a 1.5-2 hour drive (80 km) from Playa Sámara via Route 21 and Route 150. Direct buses and private shuttles are also available for a hassle-free trip.

Travel Tips: Renting a car is a great way to explore the beautiful surroundings at your own pace. Buses offer an affordable option but may take longer and have limited schedules. Private shuttles and taxis provide a faster, more comfortable ride.

Contact us if you need help with your transportation to get to Playa Samara: it will be a pleasure to help you arranging it. We look forward to welcoming you to our hotel and helping you enjoy all the beauty Playa Sámara has to offer!

My only regret was that I only stayed two nights

Samara beach was amazing and the people at the hotel were super helpful and friendly. I can highly recommend the food at the hotel restaurant. I ended up eating there both nights and was very happy both times. The pool in the rear is in a very nice quiet garden setting. I was traveling solo and found it very easy to meet fellow travelers

Very Pleasant

The hotel has a good location. It is close to the beach and has several bars, restaurants, shops, banks, and other services nearby. The hotel has two swimming pools, and an added value (for me) is having parking. The hotel's pleasantness is also due to the friendliness and professionalism of its staff.

wonderful place!

The location is perfect, right along the main street, just a few minutes walk to the beach and anywhere in town. Everything was perfectly clean and comfortable, really well taken care of. Comfortable beds and hot showers, daily housekeeping. The front desk staff was so warm and friendly, they really went out of their way to make me feel welcome.

Perfect Location

This cute hotel is right in the center of the a quaint town called Samara. It is also just a couple blocks to Samara beach. Our patio backed up to the pool which made it easy and relaxing. A delicious breakfast is included in the price. We went in the rainy season (poured for two days). Luckily, it’s a refreshing rain and didn’t stop us from swimming in the pool and shopping in town.

Great Stay

The location is great. The staff here is amazing. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We have been coming here, as one of our stops in Costa Rica, for the past 3 years. Always a nice stay.

Fabulous!

This hotel is beautiful and very clean. There is a short walk to the beach. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby. The breakfast is great, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We look forward to returning for a longer stay. There is convenient parking. The staff suggested a dolphin/snorkel tour that was reasonably priced and worth the time.
