What a wonderfull place in Samara. Very peacefull and a beautiful pool area with chairs, loungebed, nice decorations and paintings. We were welcomed by Maite who is a lovely women and makes you feel at home quickly. Our family had a nice time there. The owner was very helpfull as well when we needed some help with local information in english. we would definitely recommend this place if you like your own little heaven on holidays.

Nothing really. We had a great time. Be prepared for a last kilometer more offroad which floods to a river during heavy rains, but once the rain stopped, we could drive again.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The garden and wooden apartment are so beautiful and cosy. Everything well maintained. The swimming pool was really great given the temperatures and humidity in the rainy season. The host Maité is so kind as well and any questions are quickly answered. We didn’t realise when making our booking that there are only two apartments so there is a lot of privacy and quiet though the host lives on the property too so always nearby if needed. The walk to town is definitely doable (about 20min) which we did a couple of times but a car is convenient as well. We saw howler monkeys in the trees nearby, lots of birds, coatis and lizards nearby and there lives a scarlet macaw and crocodiles nearby (which unfortunately we didn’t get to see). In short: just book it, you won’t regret.

This place was our favorite in all Costa Rica. Its a little heaven in Samara. We stayed there with my sister and my baby. Everything was perfect: 1/ the place and the outdoor space were beautiful and cozy 2/ the apartment was super mega clean. It could not be any cleaner! 3/ AC for hot days 4/ our host is such a nice and friendly person. She was very helpful for information in all sort, always available when we had question and for great communication. And she makes delicious banana bread!!! 5/ the apartment is very spacious and has everything you will need 6/ great location: very quiet but also short drive from the city, all convenient stores, restaurant and to the beach Overall I definitely recommend this place if you want to spend great vacation in Samara

We spent 1.5 weeks here & loved our vacation! We did not rent a car & walked to town or a beach every day. ( it takes about 25 minutes to walk to town and about 10 minutes to the closest beach). We were greeted with delicious banana bread & a beautiful location. Our children loved the pool & outdoor area! ( especially the cats) Each morning we woke up to howler monkeys & birds! We felt like we were in the middle of the jungle! We had laundry done while here for a small fee which was very convenient! We loved walking to the convenience store for popsicles & any needed groceries. Since there was a stove & fridge we were able to eat at least 2 meals here every day.

It was a value. There are only 2 units and there is a very nice pool and the property is well maintained . Owner is friendly and communicated via WhatsApp even through she speaks Spanish and I don’t. She lives next door so very accessible when we need extra towels.

The location was a little far from town and beach. The house is also basic and have a lot of little ants. ( I know it’s common there) Kitchen is very basic, no oil, salt or paper towel so if I was to cook a meal I would need to buy all that stuff. Also I wish they have some Tupperware to cover the food from the ants

Really impressive! Everything was of a really high standard, clean, well looked after and tastefully designed. Beautiful wooden house, nice bathroom (good shower), very comfortable beds and a small but perfectly functional kitchen. We were also treated to some delicious banana cake by the owner. A super pleasant experience!

It would have been nice to have a table with chairs outside in the shade. And maybe some more shade around the pool - the water got very warm during the day and was therefore quite as refreshing as we would have liked. But these are really minor issues - overall we really enjoyed our stay here!

Pleasant and quiet accommodation. Nice welcome from the owner, she brought us banana bread. The pool was perfect for playing with the kids.

Large wooden chairs in the kitchen are not very comfortable to sit on. Also, this was the only accommodation in Costa Rica that lacked coffee in the kitchen (we tried 7 different accommodations). There are also small ants in the kitchen, which immediately find their way into the food. We also found big red ants near the bed. They bit my daughter the first night. After we sprayed the area around the bed with disinfectant, she was fine.

LaMaite is a very special place, tranquil, spacious, the kids loved the pool! Maite, our hostess, was wonderful, warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable recommending beaches and places to visit. We loved the welcome Costa Rica breakfast and other treats, Maite made for us.We rented bicycles from the soda on the corner for our first week and had a car for the latter part of our visit to explore further. Smiles 😊 🙂 Jody and Family

NADA

The cabin was very cute and homely. The air conditioning worked very well, and even though it’s two beds in one room they are on opposite sides, with the kitchen in the middle so it doesn’t feel like you’re right next to each other at all. Maite was lovely and very attentive (and her banana bread delicious!).

There were very tiny ants that came into the kitchen if we put dirty dishes in the sink, but I think that’s to be expected in a hot country.

Maite is a super friendly & attentive host. We loved the banana bread as a sweet welcome gesture. Also, the breakfast (10 $) was very tasty! The dogs & cats are friendly, and some enjoy cuddles 😉. We enjoyed the cozy pool area. The spacious cabin as well as the overall compound are held clean & lush with tangible care. Since there are only two cabins for rent, the place is quiet and relaxing.
