This place was amazing from the second we arrived. Staff person checking us in was polite, accommodating and made you feel like you were best friends. Because it’s a smaller hotel, we got to know all of the staff and they couldn’t have been nicer people! On site parking was easy. Location was quiet except for some road noise. Walking to Playa Samara beach was convenient and took less than 10 minutes down a dirt road. Room was large with a separate foyer area that had a sink and mini fridge. Pool is nice. Breakfast was good as were the drinks. We did not eat lunch or dinner so can’t comment on that. Three minute drive to Playa Carrillo - which is an amazing beach. Seven minute drive to downtown Samara. Nothing negative to say about this place - check it out! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9803B74C8D4F415F8F223BEEBC8C8AD76A19F1D91739558389572.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10EA1968E48061550D341C19E17C9C2288B161001739558386292.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/059074240F20E51AD73F25213D5770C4E77C55091739558387403.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miele 22 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the place. Nice hot breakfast. Everyone was very helpful and nice. The room is very nicely decorated and the place looks well taken care off. There is also a security guard walking around during the night. So it's pretty safe. The only thing I would suggest is to be on top of the refilling of product provided. We barely had enough liquid soap for 1 shower. No other shower soap provided, so we used the hand soap the rest of the time. We also ran out of shampoo (the bottle was almost empty when we got there). Also no coffee pods in the room. None of it was a big deal to us, however maybe other people would mind. ##### Miele Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bruno 3 Mar 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 3,5/5 Extremely comfortable mattress. Large room. Nice shower with good water pressure. Nice balcony. Restaurant is a bit expensive, but the food is good. The included breakfast is not good. There should be more options. Cleanliness is ok. Staff is ok. Proximity to Playa Carrillo and Playa Sámara is great. You need to have a car to find some other restaurants, because there’s nothing around. The hotel is very close to the road. You can hear the motorcycles constantly. There were A LOT of children at the hotel. A. LOT. With all the noise and mess children bring in a Boutique Hotel….running in the corridors at 6:30 am, screaming in the pool, etc. ##### Bruno Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roxanne 30 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I stayed at this property in November 2024\.

Terrific staff, good food, spacious room, nice pool area. Only 17 rooms so quiet, intimate environment. Met and enjoyed company with several of the other guests. ##### Sheila Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan 27 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Montelaguna was a really perfect stay for us in the Samara area. It was perfectly situated between Playa Carrillo and Playa Samara so we were able to enjoy both beaches easily. The staff were always ready and kindly booked tours, accommodated special requests and were just a pleasure to deal with day to day. The housekeeping was prompt and thorough as well. We would stay here again no question. ##### Jonathan Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Toad Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arenal-Hotels-Toad-Hall-Hotel.h11685037.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Rica Surf Camp by SUPERbrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Surf-Camp-By-SUPERbrand.h17702230.Hotel-Information) > > [Iguana Lodge Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Iguana-Lodge-Spa-Beach-Resort.h6882446.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Vista Ballena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Vista-Ballena.h10617842.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Natural Drake Bay Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Natural-Drake-Bay-Boutique-Hotel.h100431716.Hotel-Information) > > [La Cusinga Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-La-Cusinga-Lodge.h9711849.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Tiki-Villas-Rainforest-Lodge-Spa.h8126251.Hotel-Information) > > [Chayote Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naranjo-Hotels-Chayote-Lodge.h9716642.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabañas del Rio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabanas-Del-Rio.h22951676.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Rio Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Villas-Rio-Mar.h66109.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Amavi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Amavi.h103597450.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Paraiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Costa-Paraiso.h38744058.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Macaw Lodge ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carara-Hotels-Macaw-Lodge-An-Authentic-Ecolodge.h6778240.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Cristal-Ballena-Boutique-Hotel-Spa.h1386896.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-La-Quinta-Sarapiqui-Lodge.h18261717.Hotel-Information) > > [Selva Verde Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-Selva-Verde-Lodge.h4139642.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Ecolirios Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guacimo-Hotels-Ecolirios-Boutique-Hotel-And-Spa.h32864539.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Juana Lodge and Nature Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Santa-Juana-Lodge-And-Nature-Reserve.h10501821.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) ---
