Authenticity

Casa Buenavista is a great option for travelers looking for a peaceful place to stay in Costa Rica. This family-run hotel offers 10 cozy and comfortable rooms, each with its own private terrace or patio.

The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk down the road to the beach, making it an ideal spot for those who want to be close enough to the beach, but not right in the middle of the action. It's about 15 minutes away from downtown Sámara, but it's easy to access some restaurants and shops in Puerto Carrillo.

The hotel offers 10 rooms, each with a mini-fridge and a private terrace or patio. The rooms are nice and a good value for those who don't need a lot of amenities. Additionally, two of the rooms have kitchens and are ideal for longer stays.

Other Highlights

Among the amenities at Casa Buenavista are two pools with covered areas and lounge chairs. Towels are available upon request. A book exchange is also available for guests to use. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet for $10 (fruit, coffee, juice, breads & pastries, gallo pinto, and a rotating option). 

Sustainability

The hotel has over 50 solar panels to produce electricity and hot water for the property.
