Pension Playa Sámara is wonderful! Low-key, a short walk from town center and the beach. Well-run and welcoming. Not fancy but definitely pura vida.

Chilled out spot popular with Ticos easy 5 min walk from the beach. Made up of private accommodations but definitely has more of a hostel vibe. Rooms are pretty rustic with thin walls and shades on only some of the windows. Door lacked a deadbolt. Only had a twist lock on the knob so didn’t feel terribly secure. Staff were friendly. Street parking is easy and there is an excellent restaurant right around the corner with solid breakfast and dinner options.
