This place is ideal for its comfort, convenience, and beauty. I could not resist waking up at dawn so that I could stroll down to the beach (even before coffee!) to take photographs and enjoy watching the early risers and fishermen quietly beginning their days as the sun came up. After local fresh fruit for breakfast back at the condo,... More

We spent a week at Alta Vista in Begonia (the second Level). The building is steps away form the beach and just a few minutes from town. Howler monkeys are a daily sight in the trees surrounding the condos. Geckos, Iguanas and other animals hang around the condos gardens. Randal, the groundskeeper does a great job of keeping the place... More

We stayed in Playa Samara at Alta Vista Condominium in april of 2013. The weather was incredible with not one drop of rain. When we arrived after driving through town and scoping out other accommodations in the area, we were thrilled to be staying at Alta Vista Condos. We were greeted by a family of monkeys that were jumping from... More

We had a wonderful time, Samara is the best and this condo is within walking distance to the town. The beach is a quick 5 minute walk from the front door! We spent a lot of time walking the... More

We stayed at Alta Vista for part of our Honeymoon in March 2013. What a wonderful place. Samara is a great little beach town with friendly locals and beautiful beaches. We can't say a bad word about Alta Vista Condos. We stayed in the 1 bedroom Catalina and it had an amazing view. Randall (caretaker) was extremely friendly and the... More

We just returned from two weeks at Alta Vista. We rented the top one bedroom floor named "Catalina". Two decks, both in the shade before noon. We loved our stay. Samara is a sleepy great beach town, laid back and relaxing. The Alta Vista is about a 15 minute walk along the beach to town. Very convenient. Within 5 minute... More

We stayed 18 days in the 1st floor unit (Amapola), and really enjoyed it. Lovely view of the beach and the sunrise, and you can be in the surf in 5 minutes. Playa Samara is a lovely, long beach, never crowded, and the condo is located at the end where the locals tend to play with their families. It takes... More

We stayed in Begonia for a week in August. There were 2 couples and the place was perfect for us! We loved sitting out on the balcony in the morning with our coffee watching the morning activities. We also enjoyed watching the monkeys daily trip behind the house. Randal was fantastic and Beatriz helped us with some local information. The... More
