One of the biggest gripes we had, was there was not any hot water for showers or doing dishes. All they provided was sheets and no blankets. The manager was not where to be found. Besides those small few things, we found the hotel to be sufficient.

Stay away from the Mirador
I'm a planner so I booked this over a year ago...never again. Even though hotels.com notified me about my upcoming plans the hotel did not prepare for our arrival. One of the sinks was full of ants. There were no towels. The floors were dirty. They said they would clean up the apartment and for us to come back in a couple of hours, but when we came back we had to ask for bug spray and a broom to sweep the deck. There were dead bugs in the shower still and a live little gecko running around in the bathroom. I also had to wash all the kitchen utensils and pans we used because there were ants and spiders in the cabinets. They did not check on us once during our three day stay. The only reason why we stayed was because we already paid. They were under construction which started at 6am and ended at 6pm. Every time we walked up to the hotel the workers gawked and we never felt comfortable with our bathing suits on...so we made sure to always had our coverups on. Hotels.com needs to take this hotel off their list. The worst hotel I ever stayed at my entire life of traveling throughout Asia, Europe, Central America and South America in my 53 years!!!!!! One redeeming quality was the gorgeous view...but we couldn't eat outside because of the cats who went on the table to eat our food off our dishes and wouldn't go away. I love animals and have dogs and cats, but they're well fed and don't have to beg for food. I think the cats weren't fed well so they would catch mice.

This is more a hostel than hotel. There was no staff just a single guy. The extra linens we asked for the futon were stained. No AC and the ceiling fans created and made noise. Zero amenities.

2/10 Poor

Looks nice from far away. Totally run down .Should be gutted and cleaned and updated. Very dirty floors, discusting bathroom with no soap.Filthy fridge and coffee maker. The 2 cups needed washing up too Just the bare minimum to stay for one night and get out as fast as possible. . A shame that owners are just trying to make money and expedia offers places like that. Could be beautiful with a little effort and the view is already there

Do not book
We booked this hotel at 11pm because there was a hurricane and we could not reach our original location. Drive to this hotel. It looks nothing like the picture! On top of that we knocked and called and when the man finally answered he yelled at us and said. Check in is over at 6! Do not call! We had to drive 20 miles away in the hurricane to find somewhere else to stay! Awful service

Great hotel walking distance from the beach!
The owner is an amazing person. Very personable and kind. I stayed here on my first night in Samara with my children. We had a 3 month itinerary planned. We loved being here so much we cancelled our future hotel plans and returned to Hotel Mirador for the remainder of our trip. We loved relaxing by the pool and seeing the monkeys in the morning.

Room with a view...but not much else
The room was one of 4 that might be called hotel rooms. There was no cleaning or other services provided, so we had to get our luggage up a steep hillside on rather crumbling and mostly unlit steps. The room was clean for our arrival, very neat and airy, no air-conditioning/no need. It felt like a campsite with a really good roof and private setting right next to the town and beach....everything an easy walk. Perfect location. But if you needed anything there was no one to help but a girl & a dog.

Walk to beach and restaurants
Check in went ok. Nice ocean view from the balcony of room. If you do not like steps, this is not for you. Hotel sits high up on side of a hill, and reception is at the bottom.

Hotel close to beach but shabby with poor service
There is no front desk, once you show up, there is no-one there.. looks pretty abandoned. Once called, the host showed up (apparently live in one of the units). Good size room, but no service or regular cleaning. Had to go get towels and soaps for the next day by calling back again. Not clean, just there near the beach. Its probably 1 star hotel

Horrific Nightmare
HORRIFIC!!! Never ever ever stay here! Don't even look at it! ALL the locals warned us as well before we arrived but we didn't try and believe what other people say.. They were right, everything about this hotel is a nightmare starting from the owner who is never around and will steal your money!!. The reception has bats and insects everywhere, the rooms don't even let me begin, I cannot even describe this nightmare of a place in words just please do not even look at it. When we left the first night (with no refund at all or any understanding of how it looks very different online) we called a taxi to pick us up, a local taxi came and said lmore guests running away?" That was enough for me to understand how well everyone in town knows about this place.. Stay Away!

5 min from the Beach
I had a great stay at Hotel Mirador de Samara recently. I had accidentally put 1 person on my reservation although there was 2 of us and the hotel staff went out of their way to accommodate us for the first night (hotel was full, they provided an extra bed) and moved us to a much larger room on the second night without us asking. I arrived after hours and there was a personalized note left for me on where to go next and everything was smooth from that point. Samara is a surf town, and not a high-luxury location at all. Not having A/C is common in the smaller towns (unfortunately) but there were plenty of fans provided for us. I would stay at this hotel again, the staff were amazing and the location was close walking distance to anything in Samara you could want to do.

Good location, dirty hotel
Location of hotel was good on a hill overlooking Samara with a view of the ocean from the balcony. The room however was a disappointment, no A/C, no screen over sliding door to balcony. Screens over other windows not fixed tightly enough to prevent bugs from getting in. Door stood above floor enough to allow lizards entrance, but at least they ate the bugs. Some renovating going on in another wing could be quite loud at times. Oh and I almost forgot, NOV hot water.

Paid for 2 nights but couldn't pay me to stay
The is an apart-hotel not a real hotel. The owner called me while in route to the hotel for his own personal reasons and didn't have anyone with whom to leave my room key. The view was blocked by many trees. There was a mosquito infestation. Beds were uncomfortable. The pool was dirty. No air conditioning available at all. No restaurant/food available within the hotel. After the first of a two-night stay, room service made the beds and there was an insect carcass on the bed. No customer service. Family and I only stayed one night and left early.

Decent night's sleep
Quiet nights sleep, but not a very well-maintained hotel. There was no one around to ask for extra towels, etc. Overpriced for the lack of quality.

Biggest rooms in Samara, huge balcony.
We had an enormous apartment that very comfortably slept our large family of 6. We could hear the howler monkeys at night, and see the ocean and lovely view during the days. A group of horses live down the hill and we watched them from the balcony. It was nice to be able to cook for ourselves and have a refridgerator. We had a kitchen and plates and utensils and pots and pans. There was not a microwave in our room, but a full cooktop. You will need to bring your own salt/pepper, soap and shampoo, coffee, etc. This is a great value hotel! Manage your expectations accordingly. This is not a luxury hotel - but it has larger apartments than any 4 star hotel. The rooms could use updating - but they are perfect for a large family to come back sandy. The fans compliment the ocean breeze and we left doors open all night. There is no AC because the rooms have a fine cross-breeze to them. The lemons that grew on the tree on our porch were nice in tea. The pool is VERY deep in one end; watch your children and especially on the steep paths which have no railing. This is not a hotel for little children to run around unattended; there are many places where they could get hurt. There WILL be bugs in your room because you WILL leave the doors open for the breeze, by this I mean a few ants and flies but you are in Costa Rica and this is to be expected. Some rooms are being updated.

Best View in Samara
With its unique architecture and location, the Mirador is a very special place in Costa Rica. The appartments and rooms are very spacious. Each has a large private veranda overlooking Samara and the ocean. No american style luxury here: think of this as an authentic tica "boutique hotel" from which to take in the breeze and the incredible view. There is a nice pool and the beach is a short walk away through a shaded footpath. You can always count on the staff to provide you with friendly service. The best overall place in Samara.
