Samara Pacific Lodge

Poolside time just outside Samara’s center

A drink by the pool and a day at the beach can share the same itinerary at Samara Pacific Lodge. This small, budget-minded hotel in Samara, Guanacaste, sits outside the town center, a few blocks from the sand, giving you a base close to Samara’s outings with space to slow down at the hotel.

Beach days and poolside afternoons

Head into town on a longer walk or take a taxi for restaurants, bars and time on the main strip. Surfing, snorkeling, kayaking and fishing are among the area’s activities, while a quiet day at the lodge can revolve around the pool. A restaurant, bar, laundry service and private parking add convenience. Cave exploration, stand-up paddleboarding and sea turtle observation tours add more choices to arrange around your interests, with wildlife encounters varying by day.

Garden outlooks and private terraces

Pacific Garden, Pacific Standard, Pacific Grande and Pacific Family accommodation includes breakfast, air conditioning, fans, safes and wireless internet. Pacific Garden has a garden view; Standard and Grande have private terraces. Pacific Family adds two bedrooms and a private terrace, making it an option to consider for a shared stay. Pacific Garden has a ceiling fan, while Standard, Grande and Family accommodation has wall fans.

Leave an afternoon for the pool and a cocktail; an unhurried hotel day belongs in this Samara vacation as much as a trip into town.
