A little piece of paradise in Samara......not much of a selection as far as meals, but the property is amazing! Little Internet connection. Their website could use better directions as to location. We spent hours looking for the resort.

Unique is a word that gets thrown around a lot. In this case, it applies. The Flying Crocodile is a small grouping of individually designed cottages set in a garden of plants, fish pools and walkways. The swimming pool itself is beautiful with a small waterfall. Birds, iguanas and butterflies appear to like it there. Howler monkeys may wake you early, but you won’t mind.
The breakfast, included, is excellent. Cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and eggs are on offer.
You are near several beautiful beaches, but be aware that you are in the ‘jungle’; getting to the hotel is part of the adventure; the dusty roads are potholed and twisty; taking the ‘short route’ requires crossing a small stream in the dry season. An SUV or 4WD is a good idea. French and Spanish and English seem to be the main languages here, so anyone can get along. It’s an enchanting place.

Each room is uniquely designed and due to a booking error in the property's part we were fortunate enough to sample two different cabins, both offered a special experience to stay at. Other than the design of the cabins, the hotel is extremely family friendly and the new owners even have a little girl of their own. The pool was terrific and kept our kids occupied all day long, in fact we didn't get the chance to sample the beach because they didn't want to leave the pool. Hotel's restaurant is good although dishes portions are on the small side and you don't really have other good options nearby. They don't serve lunch so be prepared. During the wet season the road to Samara may be flooded and require a 4x4 to cross and also some locals to guide you where the road used to be where there is now a gushing river. Overall I would definitely recommend to stay for several days here if you can help it

Wasn't sure what to expect when we booked this. Rooms were very spacious and clean. A little off the beaten path, we didn't believe our GPS !. Some better signage would help. Lots of lizards and howler monkeys ! Very friendly and helpful staff !

Nature at its best!
Relaxing atmosphere, many animals to observe, home cooked food, very kind and attentive staff! Just wind down and feel like in a resort! Only hick up are the hard beds, but looking at what you get for the price, this is really a minor thing, especially because the rooms are so special and big!
Be prepared to be awaken by howler monkeys, to see a bull frog eat out if a cats bowl, observe gekos, lizards, frogs, birds and butterflies without having to book a tour! Amazing!!

Very beautiful and well maintained. A somewhat remote location, but Samara is still accessible by car, and much of its beauty is in it's remoteness.

Rural, peaceful well maintained pool and grounds. Extremely friendly staff.
Prepare your own meals or drive to Plaua Guiones for a nice dinner, try the Tibidabo.

The hotel was so lovely, along with the staff. We had our own little bungalow that made us feel like we were on a tropical retreat. The hotel staff was so sweet and even helped us find a taxi driver that would drive us back and forth into town. The meals were home cooked and so delicious. There are two secluded beaches within walking distance and they are both breathtaking!! If you're looking for a relaxing peaceful time away from chaos and secluded serene beaches, this place is perfect!!! I went with a friend but this would be lovely for a romantic getaway as well. If you are looking for a little more action, though, you might want to stay closer into town as there are more activities there.

Roads from Samara can be washed out in rainy season, beautiful secluded beaches nearby. Eclectic rooms that are private stand-alone. Wife did not like so much but I liked the place. Great beach nearby but road was nearly impassible so I did not risk with rented 4-wheel drive SUV. Charming and unique place.

Hôtel atypique et c’est exactement ce que l’on cherchait mais très mal placé si vous voulez dîner prévoyez 40 min de route minimum , Rien de spécial à faire aux alentours nous venions de Santa Teresa / Montezuma / Monteverde / Rio céleste où nous n’avons pas passer assez de temps à notre goût et étions restez sur notre faim mais pas à Samara ou arrivez à l’hôtel a été la route la plus compliquée que nous ayons eu à faire de notre séjour au Costa Rica .

Para nada recomendaría este lugar, reservamos una noche viajábamos del San José ( capital ), a playa Carrillo, Por problemas de tráfico y un accidente nuestra llegada se atrasó. y a pesar de haber llamado al encargado del Hotel que llegaríamos alrededor de las 10 pm. Su increíble respuesta fue que el “ Hotel” cerraba a las 8 pm y no nos podían recibir.
Así que increíblemente tuvimos que buscar otro sitio para hospedarnos y claro perdí el dinero de la reserva. “ porque ellos no se hacen responsables”.
Esa información deberían ponerla en su anuncio así la lógica indica que nadie iría a un disque Hotel que no recibe a sus clientes después de 8 pm.
He viajado a otros sitios de CR y en hoteles pequeños cuando no hay nadie en recepción, siempre han buscado la forma de entregarme la llave (el guarda, debajo de la alfombra, una maceta, etc etc), simplemente no quiso dar un buen servicio.
Y pésima actitud del encargado del hotel ese día.
No se embarquen en reservar este sitio hay más y mejores opciones en playa Carrillo.
