Cozy small hotel right in the middle of the forest. You will be able to see howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, multiple species of crabs, iguanas, coatis and squirrells. The hotel is in a walking distance to South Samara Beach, and 3 minute drive to Carrillo Beach (highly recomended).

We met the owner at the waterfalls in La Fontera, we drove to Samara the same night and had a wonderful stay! Wonderful staff, the breakfast included is amazing great food! Beautiful place and I felt that I was staying at a luxurious hotel. If you’re in Samara, please stay here! You will not regret it. Rooms are spacious and AC works great. Everyone from the security guard, the hosts and cook were great!!

Enjoyed our stay. The hotel was a 10 minute drive outside of Samara, which was crazy busy so nice to be in a quiet spot. 2 minute walk to the south end of Samara beach was great and this end of the beach is not crowded. Staff was super helpful and nice.

Hideaway Playa Samara

The staff were very friendly and worked hard. The location between playa samara & playa Carrillo was amazing. What beautiful secluded beaches. The pool was refreshing and a great way to escape the heat of the sun. They also offered beach chairs to borrow for the day. Everyone enjoyed breakfast!
Angela, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Hideaway is great. The staff is wonderful, the proper is beautiful and the food is delicious. Our only issue was slow toilet flushing but that was minor compared to all of the wonderful things we found at the Hideaway. There’s a very sweet iguana that hangs by the patio. We named him Esteban and enjoyed seeing him each morning.
Dorothy, 2-night trip

Friendly staff, quiet & safe, lush gardens, lots of wildlife, short walk to the beach, excellent food, but no microwave and oven as stated in the room amenities.
Susan, 7-night trip

This is a very small hotel on beautiful grounds with the ocean a couple minutes walk away. The staff is incredible and everyone knows you after a few days! Peaceful and relaxing. A car would have been helpful to get around. Food was very good and inexpensive. Absolutely delightful!
