This hotel should not be a hotel. People should not be spending money to stay in this horrible place because you will not be able to sleep. The noise level is horrendous. People walking on the room upstairs all night, and I mean all night. The reception area closed at 7:00 and n one to complain about the noise. The room smells dirty. The bathroom smells like urine. The towels are dirty. The AC makes a horrible noise. There was a DJ who played music until 12:00 am, and no one to complain.

Old hotel. Nothing works and everything is broke

This place was very good for our 1 night stop. The highlights were the owners, their dog, the AC and the delicious dinner. Room was basic. Mattress basic. Shower adequate. Road noise was loud. Just bring earplugs. Little pool looked good although we did not use it. Monkeys in the trees.

The hotel is really nice and has a great pool. Lots of wildlife around. Woke up to the sounds of monkeys and birds

A wonderful hotel located on a beautiful property right along the main highway. My wife and I only stayed the night as a stop over along our trip to the Osa, but we will definitely be back. This property is well worth a few days stay if you enjoy comfort surrounded by nature. We will most definitely be back!

This hotel is in a quiet area. There really aren't many amenities besides the pool, wifi, and the breakfast. Of course, Max the dog is super friendly and made a great guide to walk though the jungle to the beach. The owner Raul really made us feel welcomed and made breakfast for us personally. The walls are really thin here that we can hear the guy on the phone in the next room. Just a basic lock on the door, but we didn't feel unsafe at any moment.

Hosts, both human and canine, were totally charming. Restaurant was A+. Cuban cuisine the finest. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Susan Mauk

Wonderful hosts, lovely breakfast and good location. (Uvita is pretty remote)
The room was really nice and I had a great sleep, bathroom curtain was a bit dodgy/needed to be replaced. Over all a good value and reccomended place to stay.

The many trees and privacy. There is an excellent Cuban restaurant on the property, and a good chef and cook. No pressures , either use Pool or make a short walk to the beach, with senderos. Good bird watching.
It was a pleasant stay.

We enjoyed our stay here. The owner, Raul, was amazing. The restaurant on site was closed but he offered to make us food anyway. All the staff were nice and accommodating. He’s upgrading the rooms. Max the puppy was the sweetest thing. It’s anout a 10-15 walk through the jungle to an incredible beach. Great stay!

we happened upon the Hotel Samsara when we were in the Uvita area- it was spacious, comfortable and the owner/staff were very quick to respond and help out with questions.

Great family (couple) operated hotel, with direct access to the beach located within a beautiful national park. It was one of the best experiences of our journey throughout Costa Rica, especially because the property owners made us feel so much like family instead of guests that we did not want to leave and are missing them so very much! Great Cuban Restuarant and cuisine, wonderfully styled rooms within jungle canopy that was amazing! Very clean, neat, comfortable, spacious rooms and an awesome feeling of Pura VIDA! We’ll be back soon & thank you for making our short stay so wonderfully pleasurable and relaxing!

Nice little hotel with brilliant owner Raul who couldn't do enough for us, if your looking for modern furniture and decor than it's not but it's clean and tidy and near centre of Uvita

Incredible grounds with a jungle trail leading to the beach. Spacious, clean, rustic rooms with good air conditioning and hot water in the shower. Very nice, friendly and helpful staff.
4.0 / 10.0
The hotel is a really quaint place, the rooms are big enough and feel comfortable; the pool is really quiet and the beach is at walking distance. The breakfast included with the stay is really good, bigger than most places and great flavour! The whole staff are reallu friendly and will help you with a big smile!
The only thing that could be severely improved is the WiFi, there weren’t many guests at the hotel and yet the wifi couldn’t even send or receive WhatsApp messages promptly.

Simple, tidy and nice hotel. Staff was great ! Helped me with my hike, obtain travel information and went above and beyond the basic service. Breakfast was wonderful, room was clean and the pool very nice. Well worth the modest price.
2.5 / 10.0
conveniently located along the main road in Uvita, this is a rustic stay including breakfast. good for a one night stay if location close to Domenical. the office closes at 8 pm so it was a little disconcerting on arrival at 11pm. fortunately, the on-site attendant was helpful once he woke up to provide the room location and key! a message board located near the office with a note would have spared the uncertainty of knowing what to do after a long day of driving.

We stayed in two rooms at the Coope Agri for 7 nights. The rooms had TVs, AC, a shower and two queen beds. This is exactly what we needed for this trip. The pool was clean and refreshing!The best part of the hotel is the staff. They are warm and friendly. Omar in the restaurant and Sonya in the reception area went above and beyond to help us gringos enjoy our stay!

Nice valentine´s weekend at the hotel. Very quiet, even though the location is next by the highway. You can have a very peaceful time surrounded by the nature

The receptionist was sweet and did switch our room, but she did not speak English so that made things a little difficult. No internet at all ( confirmed with other guests) Tico breakfast was OK but nothing special. We won't be going back there. Sorry.
4.0 / 10.0
We were lucky because were the only guests at the hotel, so not noise from next rooms as others mention on previews reviews..overall the hotel is nice but need some improvements at the bathrooms,needs to replace the shower curtain..also the shower head is not centered causing the water to fall to close to the shower curtain.
The trail to the beach is nice but also could be better.
Regarding food..only did breakfast and it was fine
