Samara Places to Stay

Playa Samara is well suited for visitors who love to socialize and go out, and/or travelers without a car. The neighboring town of Playa Carrillo, four miles to the south, is a bit off the beaten path – and ideal for those seeking peace and tranquility.

Samara

Visitors staying in Samara don’t need any mode of transportation other than their own two feet. Everything is within walking distance: the ATM, convenience store, grocery store, doctor’s office, pharmacy, and most importantly – the beach. Lodging ranges from budget to upscale. Inexpensive hostels and hotels rarely have air conditioning, and normally offer cold-water showers. Mid-range and upscale choices feature air conditioning, hot water, and wireless Internet access.

Carrillo

Perfect for those with a car, the town of Carrillo is a laid-back paradise only 15 minutes away from Playa Samara. Accommodations in Carrillo are almost entirely upscale; most hotels have pools, room service, and luxurious amenities. Many offer stunning views of the beach, and one even hosts a small casino.
