Condo Amapola: 'Best Condo in Samara' Steps to the Sand. Exquisite Beach+Ocean Views!
Discover the prime spot in Samara at Alta Vista Condos! Revel in breathtaking ocean views steps from the beach. Ideal for families or couples seeking relaxation or a productive remote work setting. With amenities like WiFi, A/C, and a pool, we ensure a comfortable stay. Experience a safe, clean, spacious, and modern retreat in this two-bed, two-bath condo. We are dedicated to making your Costa Rican beach vacation hassle-free and enjoyable. Don't miss out, book now to secure your spot!
This condo interacts with the other condos in that it is on the first floor in a four story building. The front section of the fourth floor is the called the Congo Lounge and it is open to all guests. There are tables, chairs, sofas and hammocks, as well as amazing views, ocean breezes, and howler monkeys hanging from the nearby trees!
Alta Vista is in the Sámara neighborhood of Cangrejal, on the north end of the bay of Sámara. Cangrejal is a Costa Rican neighborhood, an old fishing village, and is very quiet with no loud music or bars. There is a great casual restaurant in Cangrejal just down the street towards the beach from Alta Vista called "La Perla" which offers great healthy local cuisine at reasonable prices. Two blocks away from Alta Vista opposite the beach is a popular supermarket named "La Iguana Verde", a medium size grocery and liquor store. The neighborhood like Sámara is safe in general. However always be aware of your personal belongings on the beach or in public. Please be safe yourself and considerate to the other guests of the building by closing and locking your parking garage gate.
Before you arrive, please message Hilda & Patrick using the Airbnb messenger with your arrival time. It will help to exchange phone numbers at that point so you can call Hilda when you pass through Nicoya on your way to Samara. Nicoya is 50 minutes away and lets Hilda know your exact arrival time. When you pull up, you will see the sign on the front door: Alta Vista Condominiums, and the four-story building. If you’ve called us from Nicoya, we’ll be waiting to open the parking gate for you! Our friendly administrator Hilda will greet you with the keys and begin your check-in.
Introducing Condo Amapola, a contemporary 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat. Each bedroom features a queen bed, complemented by a queen size pull-out sofa sleeper in the living room, accommodating a maximum of 6 guests. Positioned on the first floor, Amapola boasts a modern and serene ambiance. The expansive floor-to-ceiling windows offer a captivating beach and ocean view, creating a picturesque setting. Relax on the private balcony furnished for optimal enjoyment of this stunning vista. The beds and linens exude luxury, ensuring a comfortable stay. The open floor plan facilitates easy movement, relaxation, and seamless appreciation of the surrounding scenery. With three individual air conditioning units, your comfort is guaranteed. Welcome to a haven where modernity meets tranquility.
Most guests either choose to rent a car and drive from the airport to Alta Vista or take some sort of private transportation. I do not recommend local transportation; you'd be taking 3-4 buses! Just say the word and Hilda can help you make a reservation for a private shuttle van; we have a company that has been providing dependable service for almost a decade. They will meet you at the airport with your name on a sign and drive you approx. two hours to Alta Vista in a comfortable, air-conditioned van usually stocked with cold water and fresh fruit. The driver typically speaks enough English to get by. They will stop at a grocery store in Nicoya if you choose.
Great for families who want fewer stairs to climb and easier access to the pool! 2bd/2ba, queen

We ended our trip for 3 nights at this property. The location was perfect, the condo was immaculate, and Hilda (who checked us in and out) was quick to respond and extremly helpful. We will be returning, but next time for a longer stay.

Turtles!
The four of us- 2 adults and 2 kids- had a wonderful time! The condo was clean, cool and had a great kitchen. It was a short walk to the beach. We rented beech chairs, surf and boogie boards and a bike. The kids had a great time in the water. The turtle tour was amazing. We would definitely stay here again!

Alta Vista
We had a great stay at Alta Vista. Patrick and Hilda were amazing owners. Tonya and Miguel were great as well. We went turtle watching ( laying eggs on beach and heading back to Ocean), dolphin and whale watching, Sámara trail hiking. We also watched the monkeys in the trees at Alta Vista. The beach and town were walkable distances. Would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful place
Beautiful views of the beach and a real Guanacaste ranch across the street (we enjoyed watching a vaquero wrangle a horse one morning!). Very comfortable - great a/c and bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen. 3 minute easy walk to the beach. We liked that it was quiet - apart from "downtown" Samara but a 10 minute walk there. Thoughtful owner and great staff. Easy check-in, very secure. Loved Soda La Perla around the corner too.

A Relaxing Retreat with Exceptional Hosts
Patrick and Hilda were wonderful hosts—friendly, responsive, and always happy to help. Our family had an amazing stay at the condo. The views were stunning, and the location offered easy access to everything we needed. The home was fully equipped with everything to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. We especially appreciated that it was set away from town—it made for a peaceful, quiet retreat.One of the highlights was hearing the howler monkeys nearby, which was such a unique and special experience. We also loved having access to the pool—it was the perfect way to cool off and unwind. The view from the rooftop Congo Lounge allowed for even more incredible ocean and jungle scenery—an ideal spot to relax, take in the sunset, and truly appreciate the beauty of the area. This was one of the few places with a true ocean view!

Short stay
We had booked five nights but only stayed two but not due to problem with the property had an emergency at home and had to leave. The property was great and had everything we needed. It was so hot when we got there and was nice to have AC. If I could make recommendation it would be more pillows and had trouble with AC working in bedroom. We loved rooftop deck and location. Would stay again.

We absolutely loved everything about this condo: its location, its comfort, its amenities, the friendliness of the owners Patrick and Hilda and the staff who do an incredible job. It's clean! It's beautiful! The landscape is superb and there are even monkeys as neighbors. We walked around with no problem. We are already dreaming of going back. This is the place to rent in Samara!

Fabulous Stay - Fabulous Condo
My stay at Amapola was exceptional. The condo was impeccable and had all the conveniences of home. The view from our balcony was fabulous, every morning and all day. A short walk to the beach found us enjoying sunrise walks, leisurely days swimming in clear ocean waters and often late night walk. The proximity to town was perfect with souvenir shopping an great restaurants. I used the go kart on a daily basis enjoying the sites and sounds of Samara. It also was spotless and GREATLY added to the joy and comfort of our stay in Samara. The pool at Alta Vista was used daily and was a joy. I cannot think of anything to improve on the experience and joy of Alta Vista, and the Amapola condo. I highly recommend it. I plan to return, at least yearly.

Beautiful property and location
We had a good time and would recommend to others. Easy walk to beach and quiet neighborhood.
Kitchen was in good shape and had adequate dishes, cutlery and pots and pans. Grill was a nice plus.
Samara is a quaint little town with lots of activity. Very tourist oriented. We were able to schedule activities easily.
Only negative was lack of washer and dryer (other than laundry services offered for a fee) and television service which required us to bring our own DVD (I missed in welcome letter sent by owner before trip).

Look no further....
We had such a marvelous stay in Samara, and that was due in large part to Alta Vista Condominiums. Our condo was clean, and Patrick, Hilda, and Xena were fantastic! We had plenty of room to spread out, and we felt comfortable instantly. The pool is amazing, and we swam every day we were in Samara. We even saw a family of howler monkeys in the tree above the condo! The rooftop deck/lounge is super-relaxing. I could have spent a whole day in those hammocks...
All of that said, what really sets this place apart is its location. It's an easy 5-minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen in my life. It's close enough to town to get there in a few minutes, but far enough away to feel quiet, peaceful and secluded.
Thank you, Patrick--your place is lovely and the hard work that you and your team do to keep it in great shape really shows!

Wonderful stay in perfect location
We absolutely loved our stay at Alta Vista Condominiums. The property manager, Hilda, was fabulous——very responsive, kind and helpful. Check in was easy and we were impressed by the thorough yet efficient orientation to the property. The location is perfection: a three minute walk to the beach and about ten minutes to the downtown, and it was nice & quiet. It was also very secure/gated. We were thrilled to see some adorable howler monkeys in the trees next to the building one morning. Lastly, the view is perfection—-looking out at horses grazing in the pasture directly across from the property while enjoying the ocean view just beyond.
Our only suggestion for improvement would be to have some light blankets for added comfort.

Wonderful family trip to Samara
We had such a great time at Alta Vista Condo and Samara. Patrick's place is wonderful: comfortable, clean, well stocked, spacious and perfect location. We loved the afternoon shade at the pool aftet returning from the beach. Easy walk to the beach and town. Samara is such a great town with an authentic feel with lots of great restaurants. Also, Patos surf school is a great choice. Overall perfect!

Highly Recommend!
We loved AltaVista! It is large, clean and bright and has everything you need. The location is perfect, just a quick drive to all the shops and restaurants in Samara but away from the crowds. There are a couple of restaurants (sodas) within walking distance. The beach is huge and beautiful, only about a 5 minute walk down the road. Everything you need for the beach is supplied in the condo. Hilda, the administrator, is wonderful and very responsive. The security at the condominium is excellent, especially the covered parking garage. The rooftop common lounge area is an added bonus, as is the small pool in the front. The front of the building gets intense direct sun first thing in the morning. There are blackout shades for the front rooms but they do have spaces where the sun comes through, so bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep late. Wasn’t a problem for us as we used the back bedroom and there were only the 2 of us, plus we are early risers. We wish we could have stayed longer, we will definitely return to stay here again!

Great, safe place, steps from the beach!
My family of four, including 2 boys ages 12 and 10, stayed here more than a month and really enjoyed it. The condo was plenty spacious and comfortable for us. The beach is just a 1-2 minute walk down the road. Plus the top floor shared lounge patio has an amazing view. Convenience stores and local 'soda' restaurants are within minutes walk too. The dipping pool on the ground floor is refreshing. The unit has ample space for our family of four - our sons shared a queen size bed. The howler monkeys in the surrounding trees are super cool. It's an enjoyable 20-minute walk along the beach into town. It feels safe, and Patrick and his team are super responsive to any questions and concerns. We’d love to stay here again and highly recommend the condo for a small family. It's far enough from town to have more peacefulness but close enough with a convenient, enjoyable walk along the beach.
