Only about 1 mile (down potholed dirt road) from Samara. My family was amazed by the beauty of Costa Rica after arriving here after a long travel day. They upgraded our family to the biggest Villa at the top of the driveway because it was open. It was very nice and secluded. It has a small private pool and outdoor dinning area. The foliage is used for privacy between the villas. The grounds were beautiful! The receptionist was very helpful with recommendations and let us keep our luggage there a couple hours after checkout. I would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed my stay and hope to visit again in the future (when the weather is a bit nicer). The property itself had everything I needed, but the beach and two very good restaurants were within walking distance. The family that runs the hotel is great.

    Great town great beach.

    Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

    Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village.

    Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

    We loved Samara.

    We loved Samara. It's a small town of only about 3,000 permanent residents. We LOVED the beach. It was perfect. It was clean and safe and peaceful and there isn't anybody walking up and down trying to sell you anything. The town is small but friendly and lovely; plenty of restaurants to check out, live music to hear, ice cream treats, great Sushi in town, grocery store, cheese & sausage store, etc. We went to Limey's twice for the great food and live music:) We could live here; we didn't want to leave:)

    We like the beach at Samara because there is a reef protecting the bay, so it is safe to swim for everyone in the family. The beach is clean and nice sand for walking. There are a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores for eating out or cooking in your apartment.

    Samara is wonderful.

    Samara is wonderful. It's a touristy beach town, but a very low-key one. The beach was never terribly crowded, the restaurants were never very crowded, and it was not full of obnoxious, loud partiers. Just a laid-back place full of friendly people.

    Very laid back small village.

    Very laid back small village. Tourists were very chill during my month long stay. Food at sodas and restaurants was very tasty. Do not expect resort type accomodations. A true surfer would go elsewhere but I saw many people getting their first rides here. Everything is walkable. I attended Intercultura Spanish Immersion School for 4 weeks. I hope to return for another month next year. All residentss appeared to enjoy their lives with quiet contentment.

    Honestly could not fault this property, we stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our trip and it was a perfect way to finish an incredible stay in Costa Rica. All the rooms face onto the beautiful gardens and pool, with a small seating area for each room which was a very peaceful and quiet area. Breakfast was cooked fresh each morning, and each breakfast was different and absolutely delicious! The staff are so friendly and are happy to help with anything. Would definitely stay here again!

    The accommodation is located just outside the centre and is therefore very quiet. However, the centre of Samara and the beach are only a few minutes' walk away. The hotel also has plenty of parking spaces. The hotel complex is nestled in a beautiful tropical garden. The rooms are very large, stylishly furnished and offer a lot. We really appreciated the small balcony so that we could enjoy a coffee every morning at sunrise with a view of the garden. The rooms are very clean.

    The hut is owned by a person of European descent which may be the reason why the usual drawbacks of accommodations in Costa Rica were absent here: There were no loose water taps, non-functional power outlets or the like; everything was well maintained and selected with a great love for details. The hut is best equipped, cozy and in the middle of the jungle. The other reviewers did not exaggerate: You really can watch the monkeys while doing the dishes.

    This place is absolutely worth it in terms of value for money! Samara has been the most authentic place of our Costa Rica trip, and that’s mostly thanks to our stay at El Pequeño Gecko Verde! Houses are authentic and very clean, breakfast is superb, location is a bit further away from Samara’s main Center but definitely doable and therefore also more quiet.
