Hotel Belvedere
Samara and Carrillo
A trip to the golden Pacific coast of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste Province wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the sunny surf town of Playa Samara. If you are traveling to this tropical paradise and desire an accommodation that is friendly on the wallet, you are in luck. Hotel Belvedere offers you an affordable room, well-manicured garden, two pools, laundry service, breakfast, plus Wi-Fi. Located just out of town, this cozy lodging sets the scene for a serene stay. And with a ten-minute walk, you can reach both the beach and restaurants.
Lazily arched palm trees, warm taupe sand, and rolling waves make up the beautiful playa of Samara. As you settle into the “hang-loose” culture of this charming town, you may notice that you gain more than just the perfect tan. The relaxed atmosphere of Playa Samara has an allure that will entice you into a Pura Vida state-of-being. Along with the town’s main beach, a trip to Playa Carrillo offers you the chance to experience a somewhat more secluded beach. The untouched, raw landscape of this playa is a stunning sight to behold. A short car ride will have you frolicking in Carillo’s warm ocean water in no time.
Italian, local, and vegan restaurants decorate the oceanfront of Playa Samara. Blissfully nap the afternoon away on one of the oceanfront lounge chairs. For a truly pleasurable time, you may want to give a surf lesson a go. The friendly surf instructors do a fantastic job of encouraging beginner surfers. Boogie boards, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards can be rented from numerous points on the beach as well. Hop on a chartered boat to see dolphins in the open ocean water, or take a guided tour to observe baby Turtles.
Hotel Belvedere offers you a quaint, yet truly pleasant atmosphere to unwind in after a busy beach day. Its lush garden provides you with soothing greenery. Not to mention, iguanas, hummingbirds, and monkeys have been known to stop by the garden for a visit. Cool off from the day’s heat in one of the hotel’s pools. Indulge in Hotel Belvedere’s breakfast that comes at an extra cost. Put up your feet and relax as the hotel does your laundry for an additional fee. Free Wi-Fi is included and works best in the lobby area.
Each room at Hotel Belvedere offers you air-conditioning, a private bath with hot water, mini fridge, coffee maker, cable TV, plus a safe. A stay at this hotel affords you the extra budget room to dapple in the various activities that Playa Samara has to offer.
