Tico Adventure Lodge

Absolutely fantastic find in Samara. The kitchen is the best I've seen in 4 months of backpacking. The pool is clean and cold and the price is really good. You can't beat it. Everything was so clean. The room even had air con and hot water. The staff were quick to act if there was a problem - the gas for the hob was replaced within minutes

We had a wonderful stay at Tico Adventure Lodge! It’s perfectly located within walking distance to the beach and everything you might need—markets, restaurants, charming sodas, and shopping. Once you park, there’s no need to drive anywhere! The beds were comfortable, and the space was exceptionally clean. Our porch overlooked a serene garden sanctuary that felt like a jungle, filled with beautiful birds and peaceful nature sounds. The pool was stunning, and the entire property was very well maintained. While we didn’t use the communal kitchen, it was well-equipped and a fantastic option for longer stays. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly. Sámara itself is a beautiful and safe town, and we felt comfortable exploring everywhere on foot. Highly recommend!

This was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had. Andrea could not have been more hospitable and helpful. Tico Adventure Lodge is perfectly located in the small beach side town of Samara. Our accommodations were spotlessly clean and fully equipped. It feels like a private oasis yet is within a block of the ocean,many restaurants and stores. Will definitely be returning for an extended visit next winter.

We had an amazing stay at Tico Adventure Lodge! Room #8 was simple but very comfortable, and the quiet AC unit kept us cool throughout our visit. We especially loved starting our mornings in the rocking chairs on the front porch, sipping fresh, strong coffee and reading our books. It was the perfect peaceful way to begin each day. The pool felt like our own private oasis, surrounded by lush greenery, and was so refreshing after exploring. Having a fully equipped kitchen was a huge plus, allowing us to make fresh guacamole and enjoy local fruits daily. The staff were fantastically attentive, friendly, and eager to share helpful recommendations for the area. We even enjoyed browsing and reading from the lodge’s little library, which was such a nice touch. Most importantly, we felt safe and relaxed throughout our stay. Tico Adventure Lodge is truly a gem, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Samara!

2nd time to stay here. Think upper scale Robinson Caruso jungle treehouse in the middle of the village. Rooms are nice, each different, staff friendly and helpful, and beach is a 5 minute walk. Good value and local friend think it’s the best place to stay if not renting a house. Also Samara felt very safe from our perspective with no issues whatsoever

Super clean, great location Also, very important that they are strict with sound. Therefore, you can enjoy the sounds of nature as you swing in your hammock in your private balcony Great staff! The security guard that worked the late shift saved my entire trip. The rain came in hard, and the security guard stepped into action and covered my motorcycle! Special thanks to him and the entire staff

Great lodge, close to all amenities, beach is a 4 min leisurely walk, many restaurants close by. Austrian Management with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Help with booking trips! Variety of accommodations! Book directly to discuss best options for your travel party.

Beautiful hotel, good location, but: My (pretty dark) ground level room had dozens of moscitos and wasnt very pleasant to stay in honestly. Furthermore, when we asked if we can chill at the pool after checkout, we were told that we couldn't stay longer than 1.30 pm. I found that both unusual and hard to understand given that we arrived the evening before but okay, whatever. Overall the place is pretty pricey for what it is offering compared to eg hotel Belvedere just across the street which offers way better rooms and service. No idea why the place is punching way below it's weight bc the exterior location, pool area and Yoga place is really gorgeous.
