Breakfast is delicious; people are nice and friendly. Close to the beach but we liked flamingo beach better in the mornings as there were no one. We didnt use the pool but we enjoyed the birds in the garden.

First time at the Riu. Outdated, pool was not very clean, there were things floating in the pool. No top shelf liquor, considering how expensive it is to stay at this resort. I have definitely stayed at better resorts, with top shelf liquors for a more reasonable price. Room pillows had stains, and bed was uncomfortable. Could not eat at the restaurants, since it was rented out for a private party. Sadly, that’s what guests pay for, they should be accommodated to have those options. Staff was friendly, but this hotel would not be an option to stay at in the future.

My family and I stayed in the villa for four wonderful nights before Christmas. We are a family of five and initially booked two villas, thinking we wouldn't all fit in one. Upon arrival, we saw how spacious the rooms were and noticed that each villa had three large beds, so we decided to stay together in one villa. The owners were fair and agreed to rent out the extra villa we had booked, refunding us for the days they managed to rent it out. The villa is located in a quiet area of Tamarindo, up on a hill, but within a short walking distance of the main street, restaurants, and attractions. Communication with the villa management was very efficient (via WhatsApp). There is plenty of parking, as well as a game area the kids loved, with a ping pong table, other outdoor games, a hot tub, and lounge chairs. We had a great time and highly recommend it!

Property is a little run down. The pool has 2 loungers that look like they have not been cleaned in a long while. No outdoor shower for the pool. Apartment is very large and the view is beautiful. Not very walkable as it is up on a hill thus the beautiful view. A long walk to beaches but we had a vehicle.

My favorite beach town in Costa Rica. Remote but not to remote. An asphalt road leads entirely to this town and it can be reached with a regular rental car. Samara has a bunch of small hostels and hotels, nice restaurants at the beach and all over the small town.
