The rooms, the pool, the food, the beach near to it, The restaurant Coyote I think is the name... EXCELLENT ##### diana Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique is a word that gets thrown around a lot. In this case, it applies. The Flying Crocodile is a small grouping of individually designed cottages set in a garden of plants, fish pools and walkways. The swimming pool itself is beautiful with a small waterfall. Birds, iguanas and butterflies appear to like it there. Howler monkeys may wake you early, but you won’t mind. The breakfast, included, is excellent. Cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and eggs are on offer. You are near several beautiful beaches, but be aware that you are in the ‘jungle’; getting to the hotel is part of the adventure; the dusty roads are potholed and twisty; taking the ‘short route’ requires crossing a small stream in the dry season. An SUV or 4WD is a good idea. French and Spanish and English seem to be the main languages here, so anyone can get along. It’s an enchanting place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 18 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHRISTIAN, Paris Feb 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très très bien Tout est parfait, la gentillesse des propriétaires, les chambres ainsi que le petit-déjeuner.

Other than the design of the cabins, the hotel is extremely family friendly and the new owners even have a little girl of their own. The pool was terrific and kept our kids occupied all day long, in fact we didn't get the chance to sample the beach because they didn't want to leave the pool. Hotel's restaurant is good although dishes portions are on the small side and you don't really have other good options nearby. They don't serve lunch so be prepared. During the wet season the road to Samara may be flooded and require a 4x4 to cross and also some locals to guide you where the road used to be where there is now a gushing river. Overall I would definitely recommend to stay for several days here if you can help it ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely helpful new owners beautiful space ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric, Sxm Jun 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Super beau !

Su increíble respuesta fue que el “ Hotel” cerraba a las 8 pm y no nos podían recibir. Así que increíblemente tuvimos que buscar otro sitio para hospedarnos y claro perdí el dinero de la reserva. “ porque ellos no se hacen responsables”. Esa información deberían ponerla en su anuncio así la lógica indica que nadie iría a un disque Hotel que no recibe a sus clientes después de 8 pm. He viajado a otros sitios de CR y en hoteles pequeños cuando no hay nadie en recepción, siempre han buscado la forma de entregarme la llave (el guarda, debajo de la alfombra, una maceta, etc etc), simplemente no quiso dar un buen servicio. Y pésima actitud del encargado del hotel ese día. No se embarquen en reservar este sitio hay más y mejores opciones en playa Carrillo. ##### Jose Stayed 1 night in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike, BC, Canada May 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant surprise !

Only hick up are the hard beds, but looking at what you get for the price, this is really a minor thing, especially because the rooms are so special and big! Be prepared to be awaken by howler monkeys, to see a bull frog eat out if a cats bowl, observe gekos, lizards, frogs, birds and butterflies without having to book a tour!

We had our own little bungalow that made us feel like we were on a tropical retreat. The hotel staff was so sweet and even helped us find a taxi driver that would drive us back and forth into town. The meals were home cooked and so delicious. There are two secluded beaches within walking distance and they are both breathtaking!! If you're looking for a relaxing peaceful time away from chaos and secluded serene beaches, this place is perfect!!! I went with a friend but this would be lovely for a romantic getaway as well. If you are looking for a little more action, though, you might want to stay closer into town as there are more activities there. ##### Jean ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 12, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### unique rooms Unique comfortable rooms in serene calm setting.

A very good place to stay in Samara. Samara can be a busy place and the best thing about this hotel is that it is away from the crowd, a litle far from Samara. The environment is superb. Appartments are large and great, they are scattered in a park from where you can hear the monkeys. The staff is German, and most of the clients are German too. It was a surprise and the good thing is that you can have bratwurst!!! El Coyote is a great restaurant nearby, with great staff. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 27, 2018 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Azul Hotel & Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Del-Rincon-Eco-Adventure-Park.h1858721.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Nammbu-Beachfront-Bungalows.h11459871.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [MARAVIDA Boutique Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Best-Western-Tamarindo-Vista-Villas.h901274.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten North Tamarindo Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Ten-North-Tamarindo-Beach-Hotel.h16263826.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Tamarindo Bay Hotel & Apartments- Self Check In, Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Tamarindo-Bay-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h12358310.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Condo at Langosta Beach Club!](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Your-Luxury-Condo-At-Langosta-Beach-Club.h40741855.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Hacienda Pinilla Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hacienda-Pinilla-Vacation-Rentals.h5297444.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreamsea Surf Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Dreamsea-Surf-Camp.h9331090.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gilded-Iguana-Surf-Hotel.h22186079.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Hotel-Boutique-Lagarta-Lodge.h12324224.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boyeros](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hotel-Boyeros.h11268329.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mansion Inn Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Hotels-La-Mansion-Inn-Arenal.h8254135.Hotel-Information)
