Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort

We spent a wonderful week at this hotel. A very beautiful place! White houses buried in flowers and exotic plants. Clean spacious room, with daily cleaning and fresh towels,AC. There was a problem with hot water, but it was quickly resolved by Naum Flores and Denis.At breakfast and lunch we were greeted with a smile by Husel, Roger,Kandall and Fresia. They created a pleasant and kind atmosphere.Since it is now low season,we were kindly offered to visit the restaurants of Azura. Here we were surrounded with care and attention by Steven, Jass Tatiana,Jose,Likiry.We express special gratitude to the all cooks of the both resorts. All dishes are very tasty and beautiful presented. The work of professionals. Live music every night.Super! A wonderful beach with an endless coastline and a warm ocean. We thank all the staff for a wonderful vacation. For everyone who loves good service, delicious food, good rest, this place for you.But don't forget to bring mosquito repellent.

Our stay was great. We stayed in one of the villas. Staff were super friendly and they were always happy to go the extra mile to make our vacation extra special. Fressia welcomed us for breakfast every day at the restaurant with a big smile for us and our girls. She was amazing with our girls. Food was great. Rolo at the beach club was very kind and friendly. Lunch at the beach club was amazing and dining right in front of the beach was paradise. Facilities are very well-kept and clean, pool is big and safe for kids, decor is beautiful. We will come back ❤️

It’s an incredible resort with a wonderful beach and delicious food at the restaurants. We were lucky to eat at the Azur resort next door as there was enough people visiting the Villas. We were upgraded to an excellent villas with kitchenette, living room and bedroom with bedroom. The staff are friendly, accommodating and professional. The Thai “Tao” restaurant was delicious. No complaints at this resort. I recommend walking to the next beach 10 min to Carillo beach as it had clear water and an enjoyable beach. We will return to this resort .

I really liked the environment and facilities aswell as the service. The bar tenders and servers were super nice and were always ready to serve. My favourites were Melania, Kendall and Hazel. They are very hard working, but work many hours sometimes full days on end.

This resort is the ultimate place to relax if that is what you are looking for. It was not busy when we were there at the beginning of March. No getting up early for lounge chairs. A couple of times beach chairs were all occupied but we just sat ourselves in chairs at the place next door until something was available on our resort side. No one said a thing about that. Lots of room to swim in the large pool. The only time it got a little bit crowded was when a group of pre teens came for the day. Room: Our room was nice and clean with a king bed, nice bathroom and balcony facing some of the villas and of course trees. We were on the second storey of one of the multiplexes. Air conditioning worked well and was certainly necessary! It was excessively hot the whole week we were there. (40C) The curtains fell down once but the housekeeping called for someone to come hang them back up and it was done that day. We did have one incident where the toilet wouldn’t flush but that may have been due to water being shut off. There were several incidents of power going out in the resort including one full day but I think they were doing repairs that day and they gave us warning. I think that power loss is common in this country in general. It did not affect our stay at all except for missing out on the odd blender drink at the pool bar lol. Something that was missing was bottled water, pop and beer in the hotel room fridges. It would be nice to have water bottles for overnight and a cold beer or pop in the fridge for when you are getting ready for dinner or sitting on the balcony. Food: The food was good. There was only the buffet available, no a la carte restaurant. The buffet had lots of choices for every meal and a made to order grill as well. We enjoyed omelettes and over easy eggs freshly cooked every morning. There was a good serve yourself coffee machine with lattes, espresso etc. or servers also brought coffee to your table. Fruit on the buffet was good however it was not covered and there were always flies on it which turned me off. The soup, pasta and sauce, salad selection, fried chicken and Chinese food were all good. As it goes with a buffet, there were some things that we didn’t like but always plenty to fill us up. It would have been nice if they had at least one a la carte restaurant for something different. We went in to town a couple of times to eat. I would recommend the town of Samara for the beachside restaurants. It is a $10 cab to get there or you can walk about 1/2 hour down the beach (walking at your own risk because it is very hot!!) Pool: The pool was large, fairly deep in some spots, clean and beautiful. It was surrounded by tropical vegetation, trees and flowers. Hummingbirds were always flying overhead in and out of their nest in one of the palm trees. Tropical paradise and so relaxing. One thing to note is that the pool did not close at night which is really nice since it is so hot day and night! The pool bar was nice. Melani

Wonderful week at the villas. The site is really great and the employees are awesome, especially the beautiful Melania at the bar. A great place to unwind and relax. People and nature of Costa Rica are really great. Even the activities are not too costly
