Villas Playa Samara

Let Sámara’s shoreline shape the day

A hammock in the jungle, a swim between activities and time set aside for yourself: Sonora Jungle and Yoga Retreat gives a Puerto Viejo vacation a quieter center. Here, a day can move between exploring the Caribbean coast and simply settling into the greenery around you.

Choose your own coastal base

Accommodation spans rooms, suites and spacious villas, with layouts, kitchens and shared living areas varying by category. Choose the space around your party and compare the garden or Pacific outlook you want. None of the room styles offer television; consider that expectation when planning downtime. Attentive staff add a welcoming human element to returns from the beach.

A meal with the coast in view

The on-site restaurant showcases Costa Rican flavors through fresh seafood, tropical fruits and traditional dishes. Stay for a meal or a cocktail with the surroundings in view. Pool, spa and fitness facilities add other ways to spend time at the property, balancing the pleasures of the sand with restful hours on site.

Make space for an outing

Snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding can be arranged at an additional charge, offering ways to take the vacation onto the water. Snorkeling provides an opportunity to explore marine life along the coast. Zip-lining, horseback riding and ATV tours bring other possibilities beyond the beach. You can choose an active day and still return to a stay where the shore remains close at hand.

What to weigh when choosing this stay

• The shore within steps: a direct Sámara Beach setting suits travelers who want beach time to be part of everyday life at the hotel, rather than a separate journey.
• Space to suit your party: rooms, suites and villas have different layouts, garden or ocean outlooks, and kitchen facilities. Compare the category if self-catering or shared living space is important.
• A television-free stay: none of the room styles offer television. Choose with that expectation, particularly if evening TV is a priority for your party.
• Meals with coastal character: the restaurant highlights fresh seafood, tropical fruits and traditional Costa Rican dishes, with a meal or cocktail offering time to enjoy the surrounding views.
• More than the sand: pool, spa and fitness facilities provide ways to spend time at the property between beach visits and excursions.
• Water sports at an additional charge: snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding can be arranged, but their cost is separate. Plan the activities you want rather than assuming they come with every room.
• Explore farther when the mood changes: zip-lining, horseback riding and ATV tours offer adventures around Sámara, balanced with a beachfront place to return to and attentive staff.
