Travel Guide

Sunset over the Pacific Ocean from Ostional Beach.

The black sand beach is strewn with white egg shells. Remnants of a recent sea turtle hatchling parade.
Tortuga
Ostional tortugas
Sea turtles are one of the coolest marine animals ever. While in Costa Rica I had the chance to get up close and witness them nesting on the shores of Playa Ostional.

Good communication from the host and concierge. It's a beautiful space and well kept. As noted in the listing, you'll need a 4WD to get to it - but that makes it an adventure! It's also close enough to towns you can get what you need while also being secluded and very private.

We arrived hours earlier than check-in and were able to get our room pretty quickly. The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. The room was spacious and clean and we really appreciated the pool on those hot days. Samara is quite small, so we were able to walk to everything.
