My wife and I had a wonderful time... The service was great, very friendly and accomodating... We arrived 7 hours later than anticipated and the front desk staff was still waiting up for us, was still pleasant, courteous and professional! The location was perfect - between Samara and Carillo - one could walk to either, go into town for a... More

We had the pleasure of being Rosy and Doug's guests for 3 days in May. The hotel is charming well laid out and the rooms have an open design and spotless. The Howlers came in everyday at 8 and 3 for our entertainment. The inviting pool finishes off the abenance. We only had one dinner at the Hotel but the... More

Just got back from a week trip to Samara, Costa Rica. Stayed at the Hideaway which we had already read great things about, my expectations were high however somehow they managed to blow them away. Rosy, Doug, and Staff go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and happy. They are so helpful planning activities and seem... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at The Hideaway Hotel Playa Samara in April and had an awesome experience. Right when we arrived we were greeted with welcoming excitement. Our room was spacious and beautiful. When we walked out our hotel room door every morning there were monkeys in the trees... so exciting to see these beautiful creatures up close! All... More

Great hotel. Doug is a really good guy and will take care of you. Samara is a really simple, quiet beach town. Unless you are looking for something really cheap and run down directly on the beach, this is the best game in town. I highly recommend it.

Traveled here with my daughter for part of her spring break. We loved our room and were able to walk to the beach. Only disappointment was that there were no services at the beach. We were there mid-week and almost had the beach to ourselves. Excellent breakfast.

We stayed here (the best room: # 12) for four days and had a terrific experience. We were the only guests for the first two days; our own private resort! The property was beautifully landscaped and manicured, the pool was nicely sized, the rooms were clean and tastefully decorated, the balcony was perfectly sized, staff were all extremely friendly and...

The Hideaway is a nice, clean, and extremely private property. Pros: Very safe (night guard on duty), quiet property (felt like we had the entire place to ourselves), large and clean room (nicely decorated!), good breakfast (included with stay), staff and owner extremely personable. Cons: We were disappointed that the beach was a bit further from the hotel than anticipated,... More
