If you expect an all-inclusive resort type atmosphere don't go to Samara! This is a quiet, charming village with a beautiful beach and Casa del Mar is a great place to stay when you go. Owen, Sue, Carolina and all the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home. Bella, the parrot can be noisy, but... More

I pulled in to Samara without accomadations during Easter Week and found this hotel to be perfect. It is across the street from the beach with a gated parking lot and private beach access. It is close to a few LOCAL watering holes with a lot of ex-pats frequenting these places. The hotel epitomizes the friendliness and atmsophere of this... More

This is one my favorite places for so many reasons! First, location location location - you are literally steps away from the beach and right down the street from great restaurants and shops. We took a surf lesson at Tico's directly across the street with Christian and we're still talking about it! He was a great instructor and somehow managed... More

The room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. There is a very friendly green parrot that is brought out during the day in the courtyard near the pool that guests can handle if they like. The bird's chatting and remarks are quite humorous at times. The lovely beach is directly across a small road. Good assortment of beach bars and... More

Book a room for my friend and I for two nights, but we ended up staying three because the location and staff were so lovely. We only needed two beds, but to our pleasant surprise we were put up in a room with a big queen and two twin beds -- this is very much a family-oriented hotel. A/C worked... More

We recently returned to Casa del Mar for 9 days. The hotel is still an excellent place to stay. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff is great. The location is great, very close to its private beach access, restaurants and a mini super. Chairs and loungers are available as are beach towels. The staff arranged for a... More

I stayed here with my husband at the beginning of the year. We found that the hotel was clean, perfectly located, and had a friendly staff. The hotel offers a range of room choices for travelers in any budget range. We chose a midrange room with private bath and A/C. Though daytime temperatures rose into the lower 90's, the nights...

We stayed here two nights in a quadruple room. The hotel is quite basic, more like a large house with a large courtyard. There are about 8-10 private rooms (i.e. with private baths) and some 8-10 shared rooms. The courtyard has a small cold water jacuzzi and a shower to rinse off the sand from the beach. The rooms and... More

Been here twice, best place to stay, just accross the beach, very friendly staff and beautiful clean rooms! Thanks to Carolina at the reception for her help. Hotel is in the village and close to shops and restaurants! Really a perfect place to stay in Samara if you want to relax and enjoy a nice atmosphere. Negative point for Samara:... More
