My friend and I just returned from Samara. We stayed 6 nights at Bambula and have nothing but positive things to say. Pierre was very informative and full of wonderful suggetions. We took a shuttle from San Jose to Samara and were more than pleased with the transportation. I'm glad we weren't doing the driving. Our primary goal was to... More

I stayed there for 3 weeks while attending Intercultura Spanish school. I had a wonderful time Pierre was very helpful with his knowledge of the area. The cabinas are perfect for 1 or 2 people very comfortable and well maintained. The Bambula is in a great location close to everything. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here for three weeks while studying Spanish at the Intercultura Language school. The location is great--very close to the shops, restaurants and beach. The complex itself is beautiful and the inner courtyard with the pool is very secluded and surrounded by lush, beautiful vegetation. The owners were wonderful and treated us as welcomed guests the whole time we... More

Very helpful friendly hosts, spacious beautiful apartments in a quiet secluded Place close to the Center of Samara. We really enjoyed our stay in Bambula a lot. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bedroom very big and the bathroom comfortable.

We were two families and this was just the right place! Pierre, the owner, is extremely kind, the house was very clean, close to the beech but just outside the crowded area of the village. A place to come back and very recommended!

We just returned home to the US after 2 weeks at the Bambula in Samara. We have stayed with Pierre before, in Maui and this place is just as awesome! Pierre has built a wonderful compound, with a swimming pool surrounded by lush plants and teeming with singing bird and chirping frogs. The room was very comfortable, quiet and well... More

This location keeps you close to everything, including a 2 minutes walk to the beach, without suffering any of the noise. The hotel pool is great for... More

Our family of four stayed in the Iguana suite during the holiday season. the... More
