Would stay here again
The staff were very friendly. We enjoyed the free tea and coffee and the breakfast was filling. The air conditioning in the room chilled.it quickly. Only concern was that the building work on it started early in the morning. From an 8 year old: I loved the pool so much.

Excellent value. Staff very friendly and helpful. Apologetic for construction to repair apparent storm damage. Will definitely be coming back to stay again for a longer stretch. Very close to beach and downtown.

Pension Playa Sámara is wonderful! Low-key, a short walk from town center and the beach. Well-run and welcoming. Not fancy but definitely pura vida.
