Nice quiet little hotel located on the main street in Samara. Close to shops, restuarants and bars. Nice swimming pool and good WIFI. Clean and comfortable room.

I liked the reception spoke pretty good English and were very personable and the hotel is a relatively easy walk down to the beach about 5 minutes away. They are next door to a great place to hire an ATV or tour. Even in low season we found multiple restaurants to est at within easy walking distance.

4/10 Fair

The room was not as advertised. It was way smaller than was shown in the pictures. There was no place to sit in the room or to open our suitcases. We were so disappointed that we didn’t stay. We asked for a refund and have yet to hear back from Expedia.

Giada is a beautiful property, just up the street from the beach in Samara. The flowers and landscaping are amazing, really surprised my wife and I how nice it was. Staff is very friendly (Karina is a sweetheart!). Rooms small and simple, with a nice balcony. Can't beat the price either. We would stay here again.

An older hotel but well-maintained in a good location in downtown Samara only a 5 minute walk to the beach. It has the best restaurant we have experienced in Costa Rica.

10/10 Exceptional

A pleasant hotel with two pools and a small interior garden. With some older and newer features, but all in all clean and a great stay. The closeness to the beach, local shopping and food choices makes it a great option for sating in Samara. Walk the hallways and admire some of local art. A short drive to beautiful Playa Carrillo.
