IONA Villas, Samara, Costa Rica

Pura vida here in spades! We had a wonderful stay at Ben / Erica’s place. Both were so friendly and accommodating, which made us feel right at home for our 3 nights stay. Our little girl loved it too and felt very comfortable with our hosts - a huge thanks to Ben for keeping her entertained! Would 10000% stay again.

Location is right beside Samara town center, the beach is amazing (great for kids), and Ben was really great with recommendations and talking to as we were in and out over the weekend. Super friendly host- thanks a lot Ben! Kids totally enjoyed the boogey boards!

We love this sweet place! Erika was an incredible host. From advising us on fun adventures, to bringing us extra umbrellas when the rain was coming. She was such a great model of kindness and hospitality for our daughter. The location is perfect. Very walkable to the beach, restaurants, and grocery store! Very grateful for our time there!

Such a beautiful little gem. Hosts were incredibly accommodating and helpful. Was lovely to meet Erica at check in. We had a big power cut during our stay but Erika checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Spotless cabin with everything you could need! Thank you so much:) Walk to the beach was less than 5 minutes, with plenty of lovely restaurants.

Zelden zo'n warm welkom gehad! Heel attent richting de kinderen, super veel plezier gehad met de body boards die we mochten lenen en Ben&Erika dachten graag mee voor adviezen in activiteiten of restaurants. Enorm genoten!

2 adults and 3 kids, we were comfortable in the well laid out treehouse. Beach towels were provided and the outdoor shower for rinsing off sand were nice touches. Very friendly host. Location was ideal - few minute walk to the beach and center of town but out of range from music at various outdoor bars and restaurants. Was hard to leave such a beautiful place!

Tolle Unterkunft und vor allem sehr freundliche und herzliche Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Der Bungalow ist genau wie beschrieben. Sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und die Küche mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt. Frisch gemahlener Kaffee wurde zur Verfügung gestellt. In fünf Minuten ist man zu Fuß am Strand oder im Zentrum von Sámara. 100%ige Empfehlung.

Could not say better things about staying here. I have stayed in a lot of airbnbs but this is among my favorites ever.. The place itself and surrounding property are beautiful. We heard and saw the monkeys in the trees outside on multiple mornings. So magical. The inside space was exactly as pictured - if anything, even better. It was immaculate. The hosts were incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive. The coffee was delicious. If we are back in Sámara, we will absolutely hope to stay here again! Highly recommend. Thank you!

Le logement de Ben est impeccable! On se sens comme à la maison. C’est très propre et complet! Très bien situé dans la petite ville de Samara! Ben est un hôte merveilleux qui sait nous mettre à l’aise dès les premières minutes. Il a été d’une extrême gentillesse avec les deux enfants qui s’ennuient déjà de lui :)

Only stayed for one night, but would happily have stayed longer. Very close to many restaurants and the beach. If you are looking for a place that is walkable to everything, this is a great option.
