Stay here. The staff is amazing and go out of their way to make your accommodations great. The free breakfast is delicious as well as the lunch / dinner which is available. Drinks by the pool are tasty. We saw a monkey family from our room!!! Short walk to the beach which is never crowded. Just ask for Brian who is amazing...

This was a very nice, clean, Costa Rican Hotel for an authentic experience. The air conditioning worked really well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed watching the howler monkeys in the tree across the street and sitting by the pool. The location was a little far from town for walking so it was nice to have a car. It was a really short walk to the beach through a beautiful wooded area. We would stay here again.

8/10 Very Good

Pris: the staff (Maria, Dena, Bryan I remember) is amazing, helpful, caring and customer obsessed. They helped us for everything we needed and had an issue with. They moved us to a new, room, provided us quick things we needed to make our stay very good. The hotel is very well placed to have a quiet stay. Only cons: the walkable beach has a lot of wood debris from trees and plants. This made we had to use the car to go to either Carillo or Samara main beach which are 3 to 7 minutes by car, so not a big deal.

This place is a gem! The staff here were some of the friendliest that we have had the pleasure of interacting with during our stay in Costa Rica. Be sure to have Brian make you a margarita!

Our family enjoyed Hideaway tremendously! The staff, pool, and room were wonderful! We loved the convenience of the dining options and also spotting howler monkeys and iguanas on site. You’re minutes from Playa Carrillo and Samara beach. We didn’t realize it is about a ten minute drive outside the town of Samara though. Highly recommend Hideaway!

Hideaway Hotel is a wonderful gem in Samara. From the moment we walked in the staff treated us as top-notch guests. Breakfast options were excellent and there is a beautiful beach in walking distance. Rooms are spacious, air-conditioning is ice cold, the water is hot and WiFi is fast. There’s a little pool on property that we did not swim at because we chose to go to the beach. Pool looked clean and nice just a few feet from outdoor breakfast. If you drive three minutes up the road, there is an even more gorgeous beach Playa Carrillo. Go there! – In the low season there’s virtually nobody on the beach. A brief drive into town and there are great dining options.

Good value, big clean room. Inconvenient location over 2 miles from Samara town. Cab ride was $10 each way. Walkable to beautiful Carrillo Beach

The Hideaway Hotel is a wonderful place. My room was large and airy. A private patio looked out lush gardens. Breakfast overlooking the pool was great and plentiful with many choices- try the Típico it was really good. The staff were awesome and very polite and helpful. Nancy in particular was outstanding. I would recommend this hotel.

BEST PLACE I'VE EVER STAYED
Everything was way above expectations! Accommodations were top notch. Nick and his staff treated me like family from day one. Maria, Brian, Dariela, Dana, and Nancy are some of the nicest people you could ever meet. The location is perfect and truly is a "Hideaway". Felt secluded yet only a short walk to the beach or town. Food was magnificent. I ate at a few other places but they didn't compare to their options and flavors. Highly recommend. I WILL BE BACK!! Hopefully for a longer stay. Thanks to Nick and his team for creating a memory of a lifetime!!

Brian and the staff at Hideaway were so friendly, warm, and accommodating to our every request. This hotel was a gem! Within a short walk of the beach. Perfect location. The breakfasts were so delicious with generous portions. We didn't eat lunch or dinner there but other guests who did raved about the food. Thank you, Brian and staff, for an unforgettable stay!

The location was perfect for access to the beach. Sunsets are absolutely fabulous, just a two minute walk to the best viewing spot. We had breakfast each morning with four different options. One afternoon we came back from exploring and decided to just enjoy the pool. It was quiet and relaxing. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

Beautiful quaint property close to Samara beach. Walking distance to the beach but you have a walk a ways to get to the main Samara beach. Property, rooms, staff, breakfast all excellent. We made our way to Carillo beach close to the property and it is gorgeous.

Lovely B&B like a small resort (about 10 rooms). Very close to beaches; nice pool and grounds; and great staff. The rooms were spacious and clean, and had efficient, quiet AC, which is much needed in this location. The only flaw is the rutted access road/driveway.
