Lori And M-J

Great apartment and hosts. Loved this place.

it was a beautiful place for us, 2 adults and two children. the patio was excellent to enjoy the weather. walking distance to everything! the separate rooms was a plus!! lovely place

Lori and M-J’s is as described in the Airbnb listing. It is clean, comfortable, quiet and well decorated. The space has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen area is well equipment for meal preparation and food storage. The WiFi, air conditioning and hot water work well. The patio area is pleasant and tranquil. Shops, businesses, grocery stores, excellent restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, ATMs, beaches, parks, and touristic sites are within walking distance from the accommodation. Communication and checking in and out is easy. Mégane, the on-site co-host, was delightful, always available and eager to be of assistance. This was my fourth stay for a total of eight months at Monos y Mar. I highly recommend this accommodation.

This place was perfect for us!!! We could not have asked for a better location, and the place was so clean!

Very easy access to Samara beach & restaurants. Co-host Megane was very friendly & accommodating, even helped us with a mixup on our trip dates. We really enjoyed the large open patio, table & sitting areas on the deck and AC in the bedrooms was wonderful. Super comfy beds, great water pressure, convenient kitchen appliances. NOTE: We didn’t realize how LOUD the road out front is. Visually the setting is lovely, but with the almost constant motorcycle & big truck engine revving, it wasn’t as relaxing an atmosphere as we’d hoped for our beach vacation. Still, good price + very convenient location + helpful hosts are all worthy of a good review for the things within their control.

the apartment was perfect , really well located . Megan ( the co-host) was very responsive to our questions and requests . For the price it's really a deal not to be missed . I was with my mother so having two gates that can lock a key before entering the apartment really helped us feel safe. The terrace is really perfect to enjoy the outdoors with a good dinner . The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking .

We really enjoyed staying at Monos y Mar! It was perfect for our needs, super easy to find, and Méghan the property manager was so helpful! Will definitely stay again!!

The accommodations were genuine to the owner and host. Megan was fabulous. Very willing to help in any way. There is street noise, however great people watching/action! Nice unique place. Will definitely stay again! Gracias!

Monos y Mar is an excellent place to stay in Samara! We stayed on the top level and it was easy to access, the rooms were comfortable, spacious, and bedrooms had A/C for welcome relief from the hot days! If you wake up early, there’s great birdwatching from the balcony - we also lucked out and saw a family of howler monkeys in the distance traversing from tree to tree. So rad! This apartment had everything we needed, and the local property manager, Megane, is a clear, proactive, and responsive communicator. I’d book this apartment again for sure!

Good place to stay. Easy to walk to the beach and restaurants in town. Street parking was easy especially compared to some parts of town. Indoor/outdoor living took a bit to get used to but worked out fine. You will have to go outside to go from bedrooms to kitchen and bathroom and the livingroom and dinning space are outside.

5 min walk from a dream beach. Few minutes to numerous restaurants. We felt very comfortable. Thank you

nice open air apartment

Great place on top floor with a big, lovely patio area that was pleasant to hang out on. Nicely equipped, cute kitchen. Comfortable beds and good air conditioning (in bedrooms only, but we didn’t need it elsewhere as the living areas are outside on the patio). Each bedroom and the bathroom has its own lockable door from the outside tile walkway leading from the patio to the kitchen. So the two bedrooms have good privacy from each other. There is a locking gate at the outside entrance to the property and another before you get to all the other areas beyond the patio, so we felt safe and secure. We were a short walk from everything to do in town. There is some street noise. And we didn’t love not being able to flush toilet paper, but that’s life in many places in the world where the plumbing is delicate, and you get used to it. Mégane was very responsive, helpful and friendly. This sweet place was a great value and we enjoyed our stay. Sámara is a fun and chill beach town.

Sámara is a great location, and we were very comfortable at Monos y Mar. I appreciated that the bedrooms had shutters, to help block out the noise and light. We slept super well and enjoyed the casual walks to the beach and into town.

Place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment is close to everything in Samara, very walkable location. Terrace is a great feature.

Thank you for a wonderful stay , the most peaceful we have had in Costa Rica! Thanks again ❤️

This place is great for a small family or couple. it is private and well stocked. The patio area is an amazing feature.

Great location. the parking space is safe. Nearby you can find restaurants and supermarkets.

Love this apartment! Location is perfect, Howler monkeys right outside and 2 blocks from the beach!

We loved our 7 week stay at Monos Y Mar! Everything was perfect, loads of space, fully equipped kitchen, good wifi, hot shower (though not always needed in CR!) Washer and dryer, lovely outside space. A huge main bedroom with loads of wardrobe space. The second bedroom was perfect to use as a working space. We really felt at home. The best part is seeing the Howler monkeys come past everyday and we had a resident lizard living on the patio we named Lenny. Mègane the co-host lives on site and was very helpful and friendly. Amazing location. You get a bit of road noise but we didn’t mind. We would definitely stay here again.

A very comfortable place close to the beach, restaurants, bars and a great bakery. The covered outdoor deck area was great for mid-day relaxing and the larger open deck was perfect for the mornings and evenings. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved the balcony! Megane was really fantastic to work with. When the Wifi went out, she informed us of other places nearby we could go to instead, and she helped when we were having issues with the water. Also, we really appreciated her leaving the coupons for the free beverages from her restaurant. Thank you so much for letting us stay!

Wonderful place with an amazing balcony and 3 minutes to the beach. Kitchen equipped well allowing you to cook at home. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Great space that’s close to the beach. Lori and M-J are excellent, responsive hosts

Lori and M-J are great hosts: incredibly kind and responsive. Their place is close to the beach and a fun spot to stay at

Excellent place to stay! It was comfortable, convenient, and the hosts and on-site managers were quick to help us the few times we needed it. We would definitely stay here again. Pros: effective air-conditioners in bedrooms, 5 min walk to the beach, spacious, clean, well-equipped kitchen, fairly private Cons: a little noisy from the road and the music from the church and nearby restaurant (not every day and not past 9pm though); loss of internet and electricity on occasion (though no worse than elsewhere in Costa Rica); patio gets very hot, though there is an umbrella for shade

Great apartment. Outdoor space is lovely and a very short walk to any restaurant or bar in Samara (and the beach!) And the a.c. was super cold!

The flat is very nice and spacious with a large partly covered terrace. Everything just like on the photos and even more beautiful. The pads on the terrace furniture were like new. The kitchen was very well-equipped. There were also bottle openers and box openers available, even a peeler. The beds are comfortable and there are enough, yes, many cabinets for clothes. Only one TV was missing, but we didn't really miss it. Wifi was good. In the direct in the immediate vicinity, you could within walking distance of Samara's beach and also shopping as well as many restaurants. By car, between 5 to 10 minutes, you can reach a beach that is ideal for swimming and longer stays. This beach offers everything to be happy, clean water, shade, sun, public benches and tables and utilities by moving dealers

We loved our stay at Casa Tortuga! Claudette is a very, very nice person. She knows many details and every question that You ask will be answered! She is a nice host and really cares about a pleasent stay of her guests! The house is beautiful and has a lot of space! We loved every small detail. Many thanks, Claudette!!

Really nice apartment with a lot of space to chill out and relax, and also to cook, the kitchen has everything you need. Close to everything. Claudette is a really nice and helpfull host. When ever you need something from her she is there. We also had nice conversations. The only thing that has to be considered is that the house is located right on the main road which can be a little bit noisy. But still would recommend it a 100%.

The upper level was roomy with a large bedroom, bath, full kitchen, dining nook and a sitting area - lots of options. The terrace is an added bonus for sunrise coffee or sunbathing later in the day. Morning and evening bird varieties in nearby trees. Several iguana entertain on neighboring rooftops. Resident pets were so fun! Location is great - easy access to beach, restaurants, and groceries. Best of all, Claudette knows the town and can suggest how to enjoy it. I’ll return again.
