Loved My stay at Alta Vista!

This is such a special place! So much thought & care has been put into Alta Vista, into each of the condos. It is absolutely beautiful & an amazing location, super easy walk to the beach. The rooftop is an amazing place to hang out & view the beach from. Loved my stay here & can't wait to be back!

Beautiful views of the horses and ocean!

Fun low key location. Can walk to the beach and to town (walking beachfront to the town is fastest). Close to a good restaurant called La Perla. Big windows.

Great stay at Playa Samara

Our family of 5 with three kids really enjoyed our stay. The walk to the beach was east and the kids spent hours enjoying the pool. The property was clean and we liked having a locked garage stall. Great stay, we would come again!

Great location, reasonably priced, and a comfortable stay. The unit we were in was well-equipped, and the communication from the owner was fantastic. We stayed in 4 separate places in our visit to Costa Rica, and this was easily our best experience. The town of Samara is also an absolute gem.

Walking distance to town

Great location with an amazing view and only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Provided beach chairs and umbrella were an added bonus for the hot days by the ocean.

Exactly What We Were Looking For

We loved our stay at Alta Vista. The location couldn't be better. Easy, sort walk to the beach. Walk or super short drive to town. The pool was perfect to cool down. Patrick was an amazing host and did everything to ensure we were taken care of.

Excellent condo!!

We had no complaints, the condo, location, and staff were all absolutely wonderful! From what we saw, this condo is one of the nicest places to stay in Samara and I would stay here again. Samara has the best food we experienced in Costa Rica and a beautiful quiet beach. The night turtle nesting tour is a MUST!

Great condo

We just spent 3 weeks at Patrick’s place. The condo was great! Plenty of space for my family of 4. The condo staff was friendly and helpful. We ended up renting a golf cart as the walk into town was a bit long for my kiddos. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely apartment

This apartment and property are well cared for, secure and a short walk down a road to the beach. The apartment has gorgeous views in the main area and primary bed room. There is a river crossing from this section of the beach as well as it is a little far from the main section of town which is great if you want a quieter place to stay but does require a vehicle or quite a walk to get to the restaurants and shopping.

Great condo in Samara.

We always enjoy coming back to Condo Alta Vista. Samara is a great spot and the condo is a three minute walk to a spectacular 5 kilometre beach. Owners and staff are great and they make improvements to the property yearly which makes a great space better and better. The coco is well equipped and very safe. Highly recommend Condo Alta Vista!

Great Location for upscale experience

Patrick and all the staff were great. We really enjoyed the location which was walking distance to everything in Samara yet far enough away to feel secluded. The wild life on the property was amazing . We had lots of monkeys, coatimundis, parrots, and the elusive motmot and scarlet macaw. Excellent all around Thanks Everyone

Excellent all around!

Spent a beautiful relaxing week at the Begonia suite at Alta Vista. The property is very clean and well maintained. Fantastic little details like beach chairs and laundry on site made our stay effortless. The views are spectacular and access to the beach is superb. The layout and decor is simple, modern and spacious. 100% recommended. I’m sure we will be back.

Lovely, spacious condo, great location.

We loved Samara, we loved the Condo - clean, safe, everything you would need in the kitchen, spacious, great double shower, a stroll to the beach, a little pool for a cool dip, great extras like beach towels and beach chairs. The views are beautiful as are the monkeys, iguanas, horses and birds. Great beach for strolling, surfing, and drinking cocktails 🍸🍸! All perfect apart from one thing... the 6 day festival in the field opposite between Xmas and New Year, unless you are a very heavy sleeper or partying until the early hours it does unfortunately disrupt the tranquility, just something to consider during this one week of the year. Other than this I would 100% recommend this beautiful spot and would love to return.

Alta Vista - a Perfect Name

The covered rooftop deck has a Bella Alta Vista - you can see the beach across the horse pasture. AND - as advertised you can walk down the street to the beach and then easily to middle of town in 15 minutes (or less if you can stand not going in the surf). The well-known Soda La Perla is a block away, and you can get a good, authentic meal there. In our opinion, you really do not need a car to stay at Alta Vista. Also an opinion - it is nice to schedule a massage on the roof top with a local. You might need to carry the massage table up the stairs, but a massage heals that.

Fantastic Beach Condo!

We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing condo in Samara! It is comfortable, well-equipped, safe and the scenery is just to die for. Waking up each morning to a view of the sunrise over the beach and horses in the pasture out front through the glass wall of the bedroom was unbelievable! Howler monkey, coati and bird sightings from the windows and roof top patio were a bonus. The location just can't be beat. It's quiet and away from the hustle & bustle of Samara, yet an easy 15-20 walk into town either on the road or along the beach. The beach itself is less than a five minute walk down a quiet road. Don't miss eating at Soda la Perla in the neighborhood - easily the best meals we had in Costa Rica. Playa Samara itself is fantastic too. Beautiful beach that's great for swimming, body surfing or learning to surf. Waves probably aren't exciting enough for serious surfers, but great if you just like to hang out & relax. Lots of great restaurants/bars right on the beach and plenty of tourist activities to choose from in the area. We loved everything about the condo and Samara and can't wait to come back.

Broken A/C dampened otherwise great experience

Conveniently situated with great views but when an essential comfort of a tropical climate living is not there, the entire experience is compromised. The A/C broke down on the our second day of a 7 day stay and did not get repaired. When I asked Patrick yo give me a small discount, he answered that it was a fact of the third world. I thought the third world risk was a poor excuse as we did not pay third world prices. When you have all the amenities of a first world experience accompanied by the price to match, I’d expect better standards. Other than that, the condo was fine.

Pura Vida Vibes!

What an incredible visit to Alta Vista in Samara. Samara has managed to retain low key and authentic Costa Rican vibes. And there is no better place to enjoy them than Alta Vista. The condo was perfect for our family. Located on the edge of town just outside the hubub of the town center but within easy walking distance of everything including the beach! The host ensured every detail was taken care of and they were extremely helpful and generous with their. Local recommendations. I could not recommend more highly! Thanks for the Pura Vida hospitality!
