I stayed here with my daughter March 15-17. The rooms (we paid $50 per night for two single beds) were nice and clean and there were hot showers. There is a lot of attention to detail here, especially the tile work, pathways and grounds. My neck hurt from sitting around the pool and watching all the activity in the huge... More

My husband and I (middle-aged Canadian couple) stayed our first night of a month-long stay in Samara in the Tico Adventure Lodge, and we had a very pleasant stay. The staff was very helpful, Bekka, and also the owner Chris. The room was very pleasant, with beautiful wooden floors and walls and furniture on the deck. We moved to an... More

My wife Katie and I stayed in one of their rooms and were most impressed with the clean room and helpful staff. We were recommended to visit Samara from a friend and had no idea what to do once we arrived...the staff were super helpful and we booked a sea turtle expedition, horseback riding, scuba diving, and the best was...

Tico Adventure Lodge is a great value. We were in unit 4 for 4 nights and had a great stay. We LOVED the hammock porch and the room was comfortable. We loved the area so much, we stayed an extra day and had to move rooms. While at first glance the mini apartment seems a great value, but the room's... More

We stayed in the pool house for 2.5 weeks and it was a great time. The staff and owners were really nice and it was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The house had a full kitchen with everything you could wish for, two large bedrooms, each with a shower, and a large room with kitchen with bar counter and a... More

I wish I could give them a 3.5, but they're a little closer to a 4 than a 3. We drove into Samara without a place to stay and stopped at 5 places. 3 had rooms, and Tico Adventure Lodge was the best of the bunch. We were there during high season and they charged us $80 total for one... More

FIrst, this place is not right on the beach, it's about a block or two and an easy walk. The price reflects this. I think we paid about 45$ for us both. The rooms are small, basic, and very clean. Each room has a balcony with a hammock. The grounds have a very nice atmosphere. We loved the landscaping and... More

We stayed here for one week in November while researching house rentals for a later visit with our childen, so our trip was kind of a working vacation. Chris, the owner, was most helpful with logistics and getting the lay of the land and had a great sense of humor for all our grand adventures and mishaps involving motorcycles and... More

Playa Samara is a nice place to stay, a lot of hotels available near the beach with a REAL access to the beach (do not trust his website where he oversold his hotel), we believe you could go for the same price to a much better place than this and here is why: the rooms: some of the lights are...
