Hotel Brisas del Pacifico

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.

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.
