Hotel Guanamar

On Costa Rica’s north Pacific coast in Puerto Carrillo, perched at the southern end of the bay. Just 400 m from Carrillo Beach, two miles from Playa Sámara and about a mile from Sámara’s local airport. This family-friendly, three-star spot sits on a hilltop with lush gardens and big Pacific sunsets.

Low-key, family-friendly vibe with simple, comfortable rooms that include TV and shower. The hotel’s gardens and surrounding flora bring nature right to the doorstep, and hilltop views mean you won’t miss the sunset show.

Outdoor pool for cooling off, a sauna for mellow evenings, and a small library for slow afternoons. On-site tour desk and transfer service make exploring easy. Practical perks include parking, elevator access, laundry and dry-cleaning, plus a safe-deposit box.

Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property and there’s guest parking and transfer support to simplify arrivals and departures.

Drop by the on-site restaurant and bar to taste local cuisine. Nearby Sámara and the town center add a wider selection of bars and regional flavors if you want to roam.
