The apartment corresponded to the pictures. We enjoyed the pool very much, and the view was breathtaking.

Thanks it was a pleasure hosting you guys!

We had a wonderful stay in Samara! The unit was spacious with sweeping, amazing views of the bay allowing us to enjoy the evening sunsets. Frederico was quick to respond and the instructions provided were very clear. Having a keyless entry with a code was convenient so that we didn't have to carry keys around. One of the air conditioners wasn't working initially but it was just finicky and eventually worked. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Pleasure hosting you!

I have a family of 7, with kids ages 5-18. All my kids said this was their favorite vacation!! Absolutely loved the view because during the hot part of the day, we’d stay inside eating fruit and still feel like we were on a beachside vacation. Although it looks like quite a hike, it was a very close walk to the beach. We lived the whole week either at the beach, the condo pool, or inside the condo with the dreamy views! We didn’t realize that a 90mile drive in Costa Rico meant a 4 hour drive, but it was fun to see the country and easy to get to. Next time we would fly into Liberia airport to be closer. Amazing time!! I highly recommend Federico’s rental! I hope we get to come back ourselves!!

Thanks it was an honor hosting you guys!

The view from the apartment is stunning! We were a family of 6 (3 couples) and had plenty of private space, as well as enjoyed the large communal areas. The kitchen is well-equipped and the washer and dryer were nice to have midway through our trip. The building's pool is refreshing and the parking area is secure. You can be in the penthouse and within a 5 minute walk, be on the beach (and if you're lucky, see a family of monkeys in the trees right behind the building!). You're also a quick walk into Samara's central area, with loads of shops, cafes, and groceries. Highly recommend!

The panoramic view and the spaciousness of this penthouse are the highlight of this property! Positives: Great location, about a 10-minute walk to the beach and town with a small trail leading down. Very spacious for six people with three bathrooms. The shared pool is clean with a beautiful view, and the security guards are kind and helpful. Frederico was easy to reach at arrival and gave us access to extra towels. Negatives: Cleanliness was below expectations, dirty duvet and couches, dust and spider webs. Only one towel per person for the week, no hand or beach towels. One sink didn’t work and maintenance never came. Toaster oven worked on and off, and we occasionally had cold showers. Showers, paint, kitchen items, curtains, and linens need updating. Walking to town requires caution due to no sidewalks, and the hill back up is steep and challenging in the heat.

We absolutely loved our stay — the view was incredible and truly unbeatable! The apartment felt very safe with secure locks and a guard on site, which gave us great peace of mind. It was also very spacious for our family of four, with plenty of living and bedroom space to spread out and relax. The walk to the beach was super quick and easy, which we really appreciated. The on-site pool was another highlight — always clean and offering a lovely view. A few things to note for future guests: the apartment is located on a busy main road, so there is some traffic noise. This is more of a personal preference, but we found the beds to be quite firm. The washing machine didn’t clean our clothes very well, so we ended up doing some hand washing. Also, while the kitchen was functional, it’s quite small compared to the rest of the apartment, and some of the kitchen supplies are starting to feel a bit worn. Overall, we had a great stay and really enjoyed the space, location, and views.
