The Beach

S amara is located 150 miles from San Jose on a paved road, and takes about 5 hours. Sansa airlines and Interbus offers daily service to Samara. Let us help you with your reservations. Fenix Hotel is located one mile south of Samara on the road heading towards Carrillo, or 15 minutes by foot on the beach. We are located at the center of Samara beach.

S amara Beach is one of the pretties and safest beaches in Costa Rica. The words "Ahh, Samara, my favorite" are often used to describe it. The beach is embraced by coral and rock reefs on both sides of the points. This natural barrier provides a safe place to play in the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean, without riptides or undercurrents. During low tides the waves are only inches tall and perfect for young children to become acquainted with the ocean. High tide is perfect time for boogie boarding, surfing and playing in the waves.

L ooking through your window, you will see our pool, gardens and the ocean a short distance away. We have a covered patio outside the rooms which is perfect for eating your meals, reading or watching the rain in the green season. On our beach are numerous hammocks and movable sunbeds. You can decide whether to read, sleep or daydream in the shade or enjoy the sun. Samara is also known for its beautiful sunsets.

S amara Central is a small village with numerous international restaurants, small grocery stores, lounges and gift shops. From our hotel, Samara is a short minute walk on the beach. In our neighborhood we have a surf school, yoga classes, bakery, grocery store and small restaurants.

A bout the weather:
During the dry season the weather is absolutely perfect. Beautiful mornings and lazy afternoons. Don't let a little rain keep you away during our brief "green season". The northwest coast of Guanacaste is considered Costa Rica's dry zone, with the green season not starting until the end of May. Luckily, Playa Samara remains exceptionally dry even during these few months.
