Fantastic times at the pacific lodge, Toby on front desk could not do enough for you giving maps and directions for us to get around. It is about 15 minutes walk to the beach and to the town but it is nice to have a bit of a wonder after breakfast. The rooms are very basic but it is all... More

We were in Samara for 2 weeks and stayed at the Pacific Lodge our first week. We had a little trouble the hotel because we didn't know our way around at all, and it is a little outside of town, so make sure you have a map and know how to get there. But once we were there, we fell... More

I can't say anything bad about this hotel. We enjoyed the cocktails (tip: Rio Celeste), the swimming pool, dinner, breakfast,... The staff/owners are very friendly and helpfull. They speak English, French, German, Spanish. There were several families, but we still, it was very quite. The bed was good and the room was clean. One of the staff gave us the... More

Dear Customer, First of all let me thank you for the first part of your comments. Nevertheless I am surprised for the second part. We try to create a family atmosphere and relax in our establishment. I just wish to inform you that the child you are complaining about was a customer's child and had nothing to do with us.... More

This was the best place we stayed during our 13 days in Costa Rica! The rooms are spacious, the pool is beautiful and there are monkeys who chill in the trees by the pool. It makes the stay even better isn't it? Food is great, and the owners are very kind. Et ils parlent français! During our trip, we had... More

Our family of 4 with 2 young kids (2 years and 9 months), stayed here in March of 2012. Was a perfect spot just outside of town. The kids loved the pool, the atmosphere was relaxed and the owners were very accomodating hosts. The food was also of a very high quality, well worth dining in in the evenings -... More

We had a great stay at Samara Pacific. The place was away from the main road into town and nestled up against a farm. The kids loved their bunkbeds in the little front room while parents were comfy on the double bed. They also loved the sparkling pool. We all loved the food. Breakfast was outstanding. We ate dinner there... More

We found this lodge thanks to TripAdvisor and have been meaning to write for ages to report on our stay during Christmas. We were 19 family members, ages 8 to 91 and it was the perfect place for us. Rooms are simple (just the way we like them!) and come in a variety of configurations sleeping 2 -6 people so... More

Stayed here as part of a three-week tour so had seen a lot of hotels by the time I arrived. This was one of the very few where everything worked. Clemence, the owner, runs a tight ship. She is also a good salesperson and very quick to suggest a drink, but the drinks are very good and the atmosphere is... More
