We chose this hotel based on the many excellent reviews and very few poor reviews, so I feel that I need to provide some perspective. The good: the property itself is very nice, room very clean and air conditioned. Staff seemed nice and there is a charming outdoor eating area for the breakfast that is included. The bad: it's a...

The last leg of our trip took us to Sámara on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. We had reservations at Hotel Sol Sámara so we were looking forward to being near the beach. So far, Gate1 Travel had done a great job of providing hotel recommendations. Hotel Sol Sámara would be no exception!!! Quite location, spacious and up-to-date rooms,... More

Guanacaste was the last stop on a recent trip to Costa Rica and Sol Samara served as home base for 3 nights. It is incredibly convenient to everything... short walk to the beach, short drive to the action. The breakfasts were delicious (especially the home-made fruit smoothies!). Instead of room numbers, they had images... very quaint. Rooms were spacious, comfortable,... More

Sol Samara let's you live the quintessential Guanacaste live style. Relax and chilled at just one block away of a pristine beach, Sol Samara Staff welcomes you to a nice place where you are treated like Family. Leo and Don Larry cater to all your needs, and food at Doña Sixta's restaurant is always top notch. Rooms are spotless and... More

Leo and staff went out of their way to make our stay remarkable. We were in Playa Samara for a beach wedding. Sol Samara was our home for three days, and they also prepared and hosted the pre and post ceremony dinners. Starting there, the food was excellent and abundant. The tables filled the flower-surrounded lawn, lights twinkling in the... More

We stayed one night in this hotel while on a business trip in Samara and I agree with the previous reviewers- it is a clean and well maintained place with a friendly staff and good location about a minutes walk from the beach. The lane where the hotel is located is a bit ramschackle, with simple houses, laid back locals... More

Picked this location because it's close to the beach and they allowed our dogs. They had a good menu, great service and super friendly staff. The place is new, had clean rooms and great food which they would bring to you at the pool if you asked. There were lovely grounds with a nice pool with shaded areas. The beach... More

Excellent hotel. The rooms are clean, with air conditioner, tv and very comfortable beds. Incredible typical Costa Rican food, and a very nice and tasty breakfast. Good location, it takes 5 minutes to drive to the center of sámara or 45 minutes if you want to walk on the beach. And also good service. Definitely the best hotel to visit... More

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Sol Samara for two nights during our 8 night stay in Costa Rica. This was our second trip to Costa Rica. Our room was very nice, and very clean, with a/c and wifi. Our balcony over looked the courtyard garden where some rosters roamed. And by the way the roasters do crow, and... More
