The property is beautiful, relaxing, and well-maintained. Of course there are many things to enjoy in Samara and nearby, but hanging out between activities at the Chillout Lodge (which fully lives up to its name!) also felt very much like a tropical vacation experience, with a lovely pool, tasteful landscaping, and cool building design. Internet and AC worked great. Rooms are kept clean. The (optional) breakfast is delicious and filling. The owners are very friendly and helpful in a laid-back, low-key way, happy to provide suggestions, answer questions, and even assist with booking restaurants, transportation, etc. They live on the property, and clearly take great pride in keeping it nice and providing a great experience for their guests. There was really nothing we didn't like, but those who might have issues with walking 15 minutes to the town and beach might want to consider a place a bit closer. For us though, it was nice to be a little bit away from the bustle and hear only the sounds of the local animals at night and mornings. Also, there are trails to more secluded beaches very nearby (e.g. Playa Izquierda and Buena Vista), and we came upon a large group of howler monkeys while walking them.

Well keep clean boutique hotel. The owners are very attentive, hardworking amd attentive. The breakfast was incredible when we did choose to have it.

If your facing north the neighbourhood can be very loud at times. Right behind this location is a rental shop for motorcycles and atvs. From 6-9 pm the area tended to be quite noisy so we made a point of being out for dinner at that time. Also walk to beach a bit far but doable

Lovely designed placed, pool facility and excellent room. They also provide beach towels which is a nice extra!

clean, well air conditioned rooms quiet and safe central location

Friendly hosts. Good advice. Sorted out trips. Great to have a pool.

All good.

The lodge and gardens were exceptionally designed and rooms were modern, bright and airy but maintained a distinctly Costa Rican feel. Hosts/owners were super-friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them; they organized a number of local tours for us and these, and all their dining recommendations were great! I would not hesitate to stay again or recommend this exceptional place to anyone.

At this price point, everything was exceptional!

Very nice host giving great advise on the place and good restaurants around. Quiet area with very nice pool area.

Fantastic hotel! Lovely room, everything looked brand new and was very clean. We really enjoyed it!

Breakfast was quite pricey and cash only.

Gorgeous and immaculate property with exceptionally kind hosts. It feels like a luxurious oasis. Beautifully landscaped and extremely tastefully decorated air contienes rooms with great hot water shower. Highly recommended.

A great location near town. Exceptionally clean and beautifully decorative. European style breakfast was wonderful!

We had a great time at the Chillout Lodge. The staff was attentive and accommodating while still giving us ample space. The location couldn’t be better, a short walk to the beach and to town. And the beds were so comfortable. I can’t remember the last time I slept that well. We loved our stay!

The lodge was recently built, is well maintained and extremely confortable. Everything was as clean as it can be. The owners are really nice and available to help with our needs.

Location is great if you have a car (which was our case), but if you do not, you shoul know that it is located about 10 min walk from the village center. The room could benefit a mini fridge to store some snacks.

Very friendly communication and warm welcome by the owners. Tasteful interior and very clean. Nice pool and garden. Excellent coffee in the morning. Walking distance to the village and beach (15 min). A beautiful place we can highly recommend.

beautiful place. clean. the hosts were friendly and helpful.

Excellent quiet location in Samara away from the noisy streets but also close to everything. (5 min drive or 10-15 min walk). Hosts were very friendly. The garden and the pool were beautiful. The rooms were very comfortable modern and luxurious. Cute cats outside on the property. Would definitely go back and recommend.

Stunning architecture, clean facilities and wonderful poolside area

Spotless relaxing unique lush surroundings! Friendly helpful hosts! One of our favourite places to stay, well worth the price!!!!

Such wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to make my stay pleasurable and easy.

A blanket would have been a welcome addition

The property was very stylishly decorated with a nice breakfast area and with a great plunge pool and loungers - if the weather is toasty it’s perfect! The room was spacious, modern and very cooling with a nice bathroom. The owners were very friendly and even used herbs from their own plants to make tea for my partner who was not feeling well. There is a nice beach close by. We were able to park immediately outside the property.

It’s a little walk from the main beach and town, which is fine to reach by car but a bit more tricky at night if you would like to walk.

The modern, tastefully decorated and spacious rooms were exceptional and were set in a very quiet little tropical paradise away from the hustle and bustle of Samara town. These were complimented by an exceptional breakfast that would not be out of place in any top class hotel.

- great location, walking distance to the beautiful samara beach - amazing hospitality by Tina and Jörg - clean, solid rooms with everything necessary - most delicious european breakfast - have one, no doubt a gem! - more than enough place to park a car - and all the beautiful beaches nearby

nothing at all. great value for money.

It was really nice hotel. The owners were great, room clean and the pool was good. Location wasn't the best but it's close enough to town center.

Woke up from construction noise at 6 A.M every morning. They can't do much about it, but I would expect them to make some discount at the price which is a bit high.

a wonderful place! the hotel is in a good location about 12-13 minutes on foot from the center and the beach,we rent bikes so it was less than 10 minutes very quiet hotel and with beautiful gardens the owners are very nice and polite they also helped us with everything we needed breakfast is the best!!!! the homemade jam was top
