Beautiful 2 bed / 2 bath ocean view just renovated condo with everything new in a small and charming relaxed-feel beach town.
24 hr gated security condo with 17 units, secured parking with infinity pool and plenty of lounge chairs. My unit is on the 2nd floor and affords serene and spectacular views. Short trail walk to the beach, ocean, restaurants & town. Or $2 taxi from Condo to town. The Condo has fishing poles, 2 boogie boards, footballs, frisbees, beach chairs, beach shade canopy, cooler, beach bags. Fully equipped kitchen with granite counters, washer/dryer, 55" TV with DVD player. King size bed with new bathroom. 2nd room has 2 single beds with bathroom. Plenty of closet space. Lots of activities close by - to name a few - swimming, surfing, kayaking, horseback riding, zip lining, quad tours or just rent and cruise, fishing tours, dolphin tours, bike rentals, hiking, etc. Plenty of nice and casual beach restaurants. Fantastic local doctor (Dr. Freddy) in case you need one, banks, markets, post office, police station, souvenir shops. More about.....Samara, the town, is located in Guanacaste Province on the northern Pacific coast. It is about 1.5 hrs from Liberia International Airport (LIR). The drive from the airport is along all paved roads, making it is an easy destination to reach.
One of the main draws of Samara is its centrally located downtown. The downtown abuts the beach and is full of restaurants, trendy boutique shops, tour operators, markets and other amenities. Another draw is its surrounding forest and wildlife. Unlike areas to the north, thick tropical dry forest borders Samara. You can find animals like monkeys, iguanas, and many kinds of birds.
Samara’s biggest attraction is its beautiful beach. Playa Samara attracts all types of travelers with its rows of palm trees and light tan sand. You will find 20-somethings grabbing a beer at one of the beachside bars, couples strolling at sunset, and children at play in the calmer ocean waters. You can do so much in Samara - swim, surf, kayak, zip line, snorkel, short or long trips, hike, rent quads, horse back, etc. or simply nothing at all.

The condo was very clean and comfortable. The location is convenient - just a short walk down the driveway, some stairs and a short access road, perhaps 300 to 400 yards or so it total, to the point of intersection with the beach at Bahia Restaurant. From that point on the beach, it is perhaps another 200 yards or so to the beginning of the main part of the town. There is a nice parking area and common pool/patio area at the condo. The owner was easy to work with and communicated well. We enjoyed our stay.

John was an excellent communicator and the view was unreal, pool was amazing. The whole facility is extremely clean and was vehicle was very safe as they have guards all during the day. Would highly recommend!

This condo sits on a hill above Samara. The view is great. The condo is spacious. It is nice that it is gated and secure. Just note it is a long walk to the beach down the driveway, across a road and through town. We drove to and from the beach each time as we did not want to take the time and energy to walk. We appreciated and enjoyed the extras like beach chairs, umbrella, beach mats, boogie boards and cooler. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice. Now for the Cons: The owner John is hard to deal with if you have any problems. First of all, we were not sent a map/instructions on how to get there and had to stop in town to ask for directions to the condo. Secondly, the bathrooms were not cleaned before we arrived. There was blood, poop, urine and hair on one of the toilets. The shower floors were not cleaned either. Overall, the place could use a good deep cleaning. The owner quickly responded when we reached out to him but had a hard time accepting that everything was not perfect and made excuses. He was aggressive and accusatory at times. He did offer to refund us our next nights' stays if we wanted to find another place but that just wasn't feasible for us. We told him we would clean the bathrooms that night after finding dinner and then expected the cleaning fee to be refunded. He responded in an an arrogant and unprofessional way and told us that he felt 1/2 the cleaning fee was more than enough to be refunded. I don't agree. It took a lot of our time to deal with this after a long day of travel. The previous people paid a cleaning fee and we did too, therefore the condo should have been clean upon our arrival. It was not a pleasant experience to deal with John. I have stayed in a lot of rentals and have never had an owner communicate with me in such a negative way. Overall, this was a nice place to stay away from the busy part of town but still pretty close. Just beware that if you have a problem, it will not be a good experience.
