The hotel was as described and worked well for our family. We paid the extra for the breakfast and it was worth it to have a filling breakfast. The pool is small but nice and good for small kids (with a life jacket - it’s not shallow). They had a pack n play for our baby. Made the room tight but it worked for us. Convenient location not too far from the beach/downtown. Parking in a lot with a locked gate at night. They also had swim towels we could use for the beach, and outside faucets to wash sand off with when coming from the beach. The hotel staff also helped us find a good place for little kids on Playa Carillo (very eastern end at low tide has barely any waves)

Nothing - our experience matched our expectations.

Walking in the front door, you feel like you’re in a little oasis in the middle of a beach town. Very walkable to beach. So welcoming, pretty, with many beautiful plants and flowers, providing shade and beauty. Room was very spacious and room and grounds were meticulously clean. Excellent air conditioning, two lovely and refreshing pools, delicious breakfast, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Everybody was wonderful, including the attentive owner. Highly recommend and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Nothing, everything was fantastic!

Great filling breakfast at Bellavista and a lovely courtyard pool. Rooms, while small, had all the necessities and even a coffee maker and mini fridge. If you're arriving in Samara by bus, it's important to note the location as it is distanced from the main street. That being said, the quietness helped for getting a good night's rest.

Would have appreciated a drinking water dispenser at the hotel and daily cleaning.

I liked the small and quaint aspect of this place. Very beautiful on the veranda with so much lush greenery and flowers. Room was just the perfect size. Breakfast was good. Staff was very courteous and friendly.

I would of liked some bacon or sausage with my breakfast.

This is a sweet little hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are good. There is a fridge with an ice tray in the room and a coffee maker. There is drinking water. There's a hairdryer. Perfect.

Beautiful property and well maintained. Excellent breakfast included.

The beds need some work, could feel the springs. If you can sleep on anything, you will be fine. Wifi worked great outside our door but not very often in our room. Other rooms might be fine.

Nice view at the terrace, A/C, good and fresh breakfast, nice location, but mostly the kind staff. Very sweet people made my stay very pleasant.

The interior is very outdated, while there is a lot of potential. The pamflets that you get a fine if you smoke are not appropriate in a hotel with these prices, more for a youth hostel.

Nice facilities, excellent staff, good location, the breakfast was quite good

The mattress was a bit hard, there was some noise in the morning which might wake up light sleepers

The pool was adequate, the breakfast was good with four selections, we had a suite which was a nice size with three beds

Was the walk into town, they said it was a ten minute walk,which was actually 25 minute walk in the hot sun

The staff were absolutely lovely; really friendly and helpful. Good traditional Tico breakfast and coffee and we were very glad of the room's air conditioning.

Some of the communal areas – around the pool and the upstairs reading/exercise room – were a bit cluttered. They would benefit from less furniture and more space, perhaps removing some of the pool loungers/chairs from the former and the exercise equipment from the latter.
