Cabinas del Mar

Unique property within walking distance of a lovely beach.

Pros: Due to lack of restaurants within walking distance, the well equipped communal kitchen was a great asset. Thomas is very welcoming, accommodating and produces yummy breakfast!

Great remote location, great host

Pros: Great location very close to the beach and remote from the noise of the city. Thomas is a great host very caring about his guests. Nice and friendly. Very good breakfast

Pros: This was a lovely place to finish my trip in Costa Rica. The garden is beautiful. The beach is a 2 minute walk away. Walking to town via the beach takes about 20 minutes. Otherwise, you will need to drive. Thomas, the host is lovely and kind. I visited with the other guests and had wonderful conversations. There were a few kitties around, and that made me very happy. Sweet little guys. Thank you, Thomas, for being a wonderful host. I hope I can visit again.

Very nice for the price

Pros: Great breakfast large clean rooms with a bath. If you drive, go a mile or so down the road to playa carillo. You wont be dissapointed. Most beautiful beach I have seen.

Feeling at home footsteps away from the beach

Pros: Thomas is a great host, I felt home the minute I entered his place, beach and ocean are footsteps away, the room is spacious, comfy mattress, the cats and chickens which call this place home are cute

Cons: Room was a little „aged“, breakfast was delicious but could benefit from some variation

Pros: Tomas was an attentive operator.He had coffee and fruit daily.Full breakfasts avaliabe for purchase.Lovely setting lots of plants and trees.Very close to playa Samara.Will be back for sure.

Fantastic stay, wish we’d had longer than 2days

Pros: Great location, less than 10mins by car to the town. Beach 2min walk, with the best sunset. Really pretty location

Pros: Host was pleasant Quiet place with a short walk to the beach Excellent breakfast - classical music in morning Large fan in room Cool pool nice for a plunge when hot

Cons: Beach in the area with lots of coral Darker sand

Lovely place, very close to the beach and surrounded by nature.

Pros: We had a great time a this place. It’s very close to Samara beach and only few minutes by car to all the restaurants in town. Offering nice tranquil stay away from the tourist crowds. Thomas is an excellent host who has created a small piece of paradise here over the last 30 years. He offered lots of help, including to organize freshly fought fish for us. Nice breakfast is served every morning with relaxing piano music. Nice bonus of having a whirlpool at the property to be used by everyone. Shared kitchen is available but might not be to everyone’s liking, but there is plenty of restaurants available as alternative.

Cons: Even with the nets in front of the windows, we still had quite a lot of insects in our room (mostly ants). Few things in the shared kitchen should be replaced.

Little tropical paradise for a fantastic price - refreshing whirlpool included

Pros: This is a little paradise. The outside facilities were very clean and full of plants and flowers. You feel like walking into a paradise garden. Breakfast was great with fruit and toast. Host was super helpful and friendly. They even have a refreshing whirlpool. And there is a shared kitchen for you to use should you whish to cook for yourself. At the time of my booking this was the cheapest option for a double room including breakfast. Even though a bit outside of downtown Samara, it's a very nice walk across the beach, so I didn't mind it...

Cons: The building seems a little improvised at times, but that's to be expected in most of Costa Rica.
