Casita Barrigona - Casa Del Rios
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The outdoor kitchen and pool are a good place to relax when not out exploring the beaches, area restaurants, and guided tours. The owner provided valuable local area information and suggestions that helped us plan and enjoy our time there, as local tourism information is quite limited. Would book again.

Great pool and outdoor kitchen
My husband and I stayed with Mike (a fellow Canadian), for a week in February. Our casita was clean and comfortable With all the necessary amenities. We particularly enjoyed the large pool, patio area with a covered ranchero to cook and sit under. Only a short drive into Samara and the best beach in Costa Rica, Playa Carrillo. I would recommend renting a vehicle and staying at Mike’s’ place.
