This was such a gem!! The rooms were clean, the breakfast was amazing!!!, the pool area was beautiful, and the beach within steps, and you could take a lounger out. Anna and the rest of the staff were so welcoming and kind. Thanks for coming to get us to see monkeys, and recommending great places for dinner. You made our stay unforgettable.

Nice place. Beautifully maintained located on the beach, 15 minute walk to town. The bed was very hard and not very comfortable, but that’s coming from someone with a bad back. The owner and manager are a bit qwerky. Very low key place. Guests were mostly older with low energy but they were all very nice. After all, I’m 70 going on 45.

Amazing place in beautiful location but clearly working on bare bones budget. Rooms clean but worn. Hotel evokes a fading property on what must have been a beautiful facility years ago. Convenient to Samara shops/restaurants. Beach is right there. Sounds f birds and monkeys abound, with fruit trees and views.

This resort is very dated. It is clean but there are no amenities close by. There’s no drinks or snacks at all.. you must walk or drive for everything. The pool was very nice and well maintained. Wifi is good but no TVs.

Dear Anonymous GuestThanks for your comment.There are so many modern hotels with modern prices.The walk to the center of Samara takes perhaps 10 minutes, which helps some people get a tan, lose weight, meet new people and enjoy the beach.And above all, WITHOUT ANY EXAGGERATION: (at a snail's pace)Isn't it true that the walk from your room to the sea takes at most 2 minutes???Best Regards

We enjoyed our stay and would return again. Staff was very nice and friendly. If you are visiting in the dry season go for the air conditioned room. Much more comfortable. Very nice breakfast, convenient walk along the beach and to town. Easy walk along beach to bars and restaurants. Excellent location to the beach. Unfortunately a couple with little kids took the room next to ours, which made it noisy very early in the morning. Otherwise, recommended.

The grounds and location are wonderful. The pool is large and well-maintained. There are many reclining lawn chairs around the pool that can be brought to the edge of the property facing the beach, with ample shade as well. We really enjoyed our time at the beach, just steps away from our room. However, the room itself wasn't great. It was uncomfortably hot at night, and the the air conditioner and ceiling fan were too loud to allow for a good sleep. The bed was also uncomfortable, consisting of a mattress on a frame, with no box spring.

This resort is older but it is clean and the staff are friendly. Breakfast was included each day and the food was delicious and plentiful. The units had air conditioning and were spacious. Our bed could have used a mattress topper for some extra softness but we slept well. The pool was clean and a great temperature and the beach was just steps away. Padded lounge chairs were plentiful and there were lots of shady areas to claim for the day. Be sure to bring your own shampoo and blow dryer as these items were not available. Lots of restaurants and little convenience stores were within walking distance. We would stay here again.

The staff was the best thing about this place--so kind and helpful and hardworking--they deserve all the profits. While free WiFi is advertised, we didn't have it in our room--only on our balcony (which was way too hot to use during parts of the day). I think this is really false advertising--and left some people to have to do Zoom calls from the public area outside. Also, there was a LOT of mouse poop right outside our door.

Very nice staff. My room was extremely hot and the air did not circulate well, even with a fan. On the coast air conditioning is very much needed or else lots of windows to have the air moving through the room. So close to the ocean! A wonderful location with easy access to the beach!!!

Y estas personas califican limpieza ,servicio, personal y condiciones de la propiedad ???? y NO SE QUEDARON ellos Reservaron la misma habitación por 2 dias ( la habitación más barata, con ventilador y desayuno )y reclamaron a/c y sólo quieren quedarse 1 noche.No pagaron nada y se fueron.Reportamos a Expedia que los clientes no se quedaron, no cobramos ningún recargo.Wie viel Note würden Sie bekommen, wenn wir das Recht dazu hätten?

It is a nice, clean, yet ‘tired’ place. Room was utilitarian, air conditioning worked well. American breakfast is horrible, traditional breakfast okay, continental was mostly fruit. Other than that food, there is nothing at all. No bar, no music (even quiet), I had to ask for an extra towel for beach/pool (they were not provided). Pro: away from the hustle of the main beach, quiet at night. If that’s what you’re after. It feels a bit depressing there.

Staff almost said no when I arrived early and asked for a chair to sit and do remote work, that seems pretty inflexible since I didn't expect to get my room at 8am, just a place to sit and work while I waited to 2pm after a long drive there. At the end they gave in not so pleased. That seems unreasonable since the hotel was pretty much empty and I wasn't even going to use the pool or anything else. Looks a little outdated, no pets allowed Property has a good location, easy access to the beach, close enough to the center at a 4 min drive. (recommend a car since walking might take a while going both ways and there is no restaurant at the hotel)

A sweet spot on the shore
This is an undiscovered gem. By Central American standards, this next to perfect. There are several reasons we will stay here again. First, location, location, location. This right on the beach. It is within an easy walk to All the beach side restaurants, downtown Sámara, and Intercultura Language School. It is a perfect location. Second. This is a family owned, family run establishment. Staying here supports the local people, the local economy, and the local self sustanance. The "Big Bucks" corporations use the local resources with little regard for the people. I will stay here again as an act of support for local businesses. Third, this is excellent value. The cost of staying here is a fair price for what you get. Finally, this is just a lovely place. The pool is clean and we'll kept. The breakfasts are excellent. And most of all, the staff treat everyone as family. All this said, know where you are before you decide to go to this part of the world. It is NOT normal in this area of Costa Rica to have hot water; yet this hotel has hot water. It IS normal here to see lots of insects and small critters inside. You might see some here, but not many. It is normal here to cool down by fans and cold water; and you won't find electric air conditioning here. I knew all of this when I booked and loved being here. I'll be back next time too.

Basic
I made a reservation in this hotel as they stated initially that there was a safe in each room. That was not true. On arrival I discovered that the room I booked was without a safe. I complained to the front deck receptionist who said that the type of room I booked did not have a safe, despite the description of the room stating otherwise. He told me that there were no other rooms available that night. However when I complained that the T.V. was not working also, he found another room. The other room was for disabled people I assume. There wasn't even a closet to hang clothes on hangers. Again I complained. This guy then told me he was the Manager (a lie) when I asked to speak to the Manager. Afterwords told me his parents owned the place. His attitude was deplorable. At least future clients will see now that a safe is not in all the rooms, in fact only 8/23 rooms have a safe. The next day the safe was removed from the decription of the rooms. Overall a rather dated propery with basic amenities. Never again!

Thank you for your review and your complaints.Where had you been????At the reception we don't have any type (male) as you describe us, even without any relationship of any degree.We don't have TV in the rooms.Our rooms have closetsFor your claim to 23 rooms, 8 of which have a safe,We think of 2 possibilities1. in the virtual agency where you reserved your room, Given the task of reading the description of each room. We do NOT have that many rooms to reserve.2. Another option would be (in your dreams): We assume you counted rooms and the customers allowed you into their rooms so you can count the safes as they are in the closet. Didn't you notice that the rooms have a wardrobe and no TV????.We encourage you to organize your ideas, thoughts and memories before commenting.It's very sad not knowing where you stand.We wish you to improve your orientation.Thank you very much.

Great location - but pricy for services provided
Let's start with the positives: lovely location right by the beach, spacious rooms, lovely flowery garden and good breakfast. Staff were also quite friendly. But the hotel also has an 'end of an era vibe'. We're told on arrival that the common toilets are kept locked as a post covid measure(?!). No room cleaning for the three days we were there and being right by the beach, it showed. We could get one towel for the beach and had to keep it throughout our stay. For 100USD per night, it felt like the establishment could comfortably invest in more staffing to take care of this, or that it should cut it's prices to reflect services. Finally, if you book in USD, bring cash to pay. At the point of payment, the price is converted in colones and you could find yourself paying for more than the original booking price.

The location was perfect. A 2 minute drive was enough to get away from the hustle of town, but close enough to easily walk in to check out the shops and restaurants. There’s a beautiful, refreshing pool on site, if you’re not the ocean type. Breakfast is served overlooking the ocean, which was a great way to start our day. There’s no AC(not in our room at least), and even though I come from northern Canada, and work outdoors even in the winter months, the temperature was manageable thanks to the ocean breeze. Would definitely stay here again.

We've stayed at Hotel Brisas del Pacifico 3 years ago and returned for 3 days on this trip. The owners and staff super friendly. A quiet dirt road separates the hotel from the beach. 10 minute beach walk to town where you can have everything that Samara offers. The rooms are dated but CLEAN. Comfortable bed. Great pool and shaded areas. Room fridge. Friendly helpful owners and staff. In our opinion this place is a hidden gem.
