Basic hotel that was clean and well kept with friendly staff. The daily breakfast that was included was very good. Easy walk to the beach, shops, grocery store etc. Stayed as a family with kids (youngest age 4). Would stay again.

Very nice hotel. Close to multiple restaurant and a 2 minute walk from the beach. They have 2 pool with long chairs. Staff very helpful and friendly. We reserved for one night only and regretted it right away because we would have stayed longer but it was fully booked. Recommend 100%

8/10 Very good

The room was spotless and newly refurbished. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. Very walkable to beach, restaurants and stores. We didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel but they were bustling everyday of our stay. The only disappointment were the pools which were surrounded by white rocks instead of cement making them not very inviting to spend time at. Of course we were there for the beach which was beautiful!

8/10 Very good

Friendly, accommodating staff was the highlight. Bed was a little too firm for a comfortable night sleep, and a malfunctioning lock caused some stress before we helped the staff figure out alternative access to the room. I’d consider going back just because of how nice the staff was, the good location, and nice pool, but my experience fell a little short of 5 stars.

The room was much smaller than I thought it would be but it was right on the pool which was nice. The staff were very attentive as we had trouble with the AC and safe and they helped right away. Great location.

An older hotel but well-maintained in a good location in downtown Samara only a 5 minute walk to the beach. It has the best restaurant we have experienced in Costa Rica.

I liked the reception spoke pretty good English and were very personable and the hotel is a relatively easy walk down to the beach about 5 minutes away. They are next door to a great place to hire an ATV or tour. Even in low season we found multiple restaurants to est at within easy walking distance.

Giada is a beautiful property, just up the street from the beach in Samara. The flowers and landscaping are amazing, really surprised my wife and I how nice it was. Staff is very friendly (Karina is a sweetheart!). Rooms small and simple, with a nice balcony. Can't beat the price either. We would stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

A pleasant hotel with two pools and a small interior garden. With some older and newer features, but all in all clean and a great stay. The closeness to the beach, local shopping and food choices makes it a great option for sating in Samara. Walk the hallways and admire some of local art. A short drive to beautiful Playa Carrillo.

Clean and safe property. Breakfast was great and sufficient. Pool was clean. Room was clean and had great AC. Balcony was a great addition to room. Staff was kind and appreicative. Being from the USA we are anxious but were quickly at ease upon arriving and settling in.

Great location at Samara. We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town.
