Relaxing and beautiful stay in Samara
We stayed at Casa Macaw with our family of 5 a few weeks ago. (Our kids are between 18 and 26.)
I don't always take the time to write a review but wanted to give a shout out to one of the most beautiful settings I've ever seen. We left after our 3 nights so relaxed!
We had one thrilling night where we saw the Macaws come home to their hollowed out tree stump-- but day to day, the flowers, birds, butterflies and the panoramic view from the infinity pool is simply amazing! (Pictures can't do it justice.)
The house was clean, well equipped and worked great for our family. Check in and check out was a breeze and Louise worked with our schedule, which was much appreciated.
Louis went above and beyond to get to know us and offered a TON of recommendations that were perfect for us. (We loved Las Olas Beach Bar for both take out and a visit and would never have found this on our own.) He brought us some extra fun gear for our older kids and arranged for groceries and a breakfast cook. (Which greatly added to the relaxation and was delicious!)
This was our first trip to Costa Rica, but we'll be back after getting a taste of Casa Macaw and Samara.
Tip for other 1st timers to Costa Rica: we were glad we got a car. You can walk and we saw a lot of people doing it, but we liked having a car and the extra independence it gave us. (We got a 4 x 4 through Alamo and had a great experience.)
