"My husband and I along with another couple just spent two relaxing week in this lovely property! The ocean view over the infinity pool is one-of-a-kind! The area around the pool, which is surrounded by lovely gardens, and the covered patio lets you stay outside all day. Inside, the main areas are spacious and well laid out. Due to the steepness of the road and traffic, we ended up driving to the beach ( 3 min.) which was easy and there was always parking. More beaches are nearby and the town...

5/5 Excellent

"Great location at Samara. We had booked a room with balcony looking out to the street not realizing it’s a busy street. We got upgraded to a bigger room with pool view without any request. We appreciated that very much as e were tired that day. The ac in the room worked excellent, the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking is across the street. We only stayed one night so did not get the a chance to try the restaurant, which looked great but can’t actually rate as we decided to try another restaurant in the town. "

"This property is worth the drive. Stunning property with superior hospitality. Had a wonderful deep tissue massage. Room was large, beautiful, comfortable, with lovely shower. Only thing that made me crazy was the light emitted from the ac unit. I like a very dark room to sleep and lots of light emitted from items in the room. Otherwise, perfect stay! Infinity pool was beyond gorgeous. I stayed there all day as it’s not chlorinated. Simply beautiful people and property! "

"A Soulful Escape at Tierra Magnifica Boutique Hotel Tierra Magnifica is truly a slice of paradise. The natural beauty surrounding the property is breathtaking — from the lush jungle views to the serene ocean backdrop, every moment felt like a dream. What really sets this place apart is the exceptional staff. Every team member we met was kind, thoughtful, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Their genuine warmth and attention to detail elevated our entire experience. The food was phenomenal — fresh, creative, and full of flavor. Each meal felt like it was prepared with care and intention, and dining with a view made it even more memorable. Tierra Magnifica isn’t just a hotel — it’s a feeling. Peaceful, grounding, and inspiring. We’re so grateful for our stay and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a luxurious, heart-centered escape! "

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

5/5 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this resort! It’s beautiful! Swim out room was worth the extra cost! We rented a car a drive there, took a while to get there, and the road is a bit sketchy to drive at night, but it was cheaper that scheduling a ride. Takes about 2-3 hours from Liberia depending on traffic. We will be back though. It was so relaxing and the cocktails were delicious! Just go!"

"The property is a short walk from the stunning beach, some of our favorite restaurants. This is a very new and exceptionally well-designed hotel. The rooms are fantastic, everything is brand new and visually pleasing. The pool area and cabanas are wonderful too. Staff is very friendly and supportive. They have a great consierge who booked a lot of activities for us - zip lining, ATV tour, surfing. Room maintenance and cleaning is superb. We were supposed to stay for a week and ended up staying for two."
