Belvedere Hotel
Hotel Belvedere is located on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region, in Samara, about a 2-hour drive (104 km or 64.6 miles) south of the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, or 3 and a half hours (224 km or 139 miles) west of the Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose. Samara is a laidback town located on a crescent-shaped strip of beach that is lined with palm trees. It is easily reached by paved road, and a daily bus connects to San José. Samara has a wide selection of restaurants and bars for guests to enjoy, as well as banks, supermarkets, souvenir shops, and local artisans.
The highlight of this area is the beach. An offshore coral reef protects the bay, which results in calm waters that are great for swimming and snorkeling. The bay area is home to hundreds of marine species such as stingrays, dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish.
Hotel Belvedere is a budget hotel, family owned and run, located on a quiet residential street just a 5-minute walk (about 500 meters) from the beach. The property has beautifully landscaped gardens, 2 pools, a Jacuzzi, and a terrace. The property is a wonderful combination of open spaces and little nooks with picnic tables or hammocks for guests to enjoy. The bright colors of the hotel’s décor beautifully complement the exterior Spanish style of the buildings, with their red tile roofs.
Guests can enjoy various activities in and around Samara, including snorkeling, kayaking, surfing and standup paddle boarding, sport fishing, dolphin watching, canopy tours, and horseback riding.
The hotel has 22 colorfully decorated guest rooms and 2 apartments. All guest rooms are very spacious, have 1 double bed, 1 single bed, and a private bathroom with hot water. The one-bedroom apartments have a fully equipped kitchen, a sofa bed in the living room, and a private bathroom with hot water.
