Brenda from the Samara Info Center booked my stay here sight unseen and I was more than a little leery since I usually do the Tripadvisor "thing" before I book anywhere. But I was wiped out and coming off some serious remote trekking in the heat so I had to just go with the flow. The first thing I did... More

I have stayed here several time on work trips and found this place to be one of the best values in Sámara. The area and the hotel are a welcome break from the frenetic pace of some of the more well known beach towns to the north (such as Tamarindo and Playas del Coco). The German/Swiss owners are awesome people.... More

They take so much pride in everything they do and it shows! The hotel is beautifully maintained from the lobby to the grounds and pool area to the rooms which are bright and clean... More

I believe everything happens for a reason. I was about to continue driving out of town to Nosara when I decided to check with this location to see about pricing for accommodations. From the moment I walked into the reception to the moment I left 3 days later I felt like I was at home. Yes ~ that's right ~... More

My husband and I found this a great place to stay for our few days in Samara. It was our first time in Samara and Brigitte was a wonderful person to introduce us to the area. She sat down with us and, with a map in hand, explained the area to us, so that we knew where we were going... More

Samara Palm Lodge is the place to stay when visiting Samara. Brigitte and Lothar make you feel right at home as soon as you walk through their door. The rooms are spacious and spotless, the outdoor area (pool and garden) is very well maintained and is a peaceful haven away from the main street. SPL is a short walk from... More

Thank you! Thank you! What a wonderful spot in Samara. For all those who appreciate well managed and clean places to stay, Samara Palm is a must. During the day it is a quite little retreat from the busier part of town with a refreshingly clean pool and outdoor lounge area. The owners are wonderful people who pour their heart... More
