| Me chilling in front of my beach cabin at Casa Valeria in Samara |
Review
Casa Valeria in Samara is located directly at the famous
Samara beach. It offers different
cabins for backpackers or "normal" tourists. The cabins are
clean and equiped with a
fan (some of them even
air condition) and a
warm shower. There are multiple
hammocks tied to the palms where you can hang, chill and watch the
surfers on the beach. You can also get
free coffee through the whole day. Valeria is a very
relaxed person who will try everything to make you a
pleasant visit. We
drove to samara right after visiting
hacienda guachipelin.

Casa Valeria is a place where you can
chill after a few days travelling through costa rica and visiting all the
national parks and
volcanos. Here you can just relax,
enjoy the sun and the beach. This is not a normal
hotel in costa rica, cause it is mainly cabins build on the beach. From time to time you can go to the nearby shop and
get some cold beer. Check the map on the bottom for the locations.

The rooms are equiped with
basic furniture and everything you need. The "rooom-service" will clean your cabins
daily. This is good, because there will always get some
sand inside your cabin. That is the "bad" side living on the bach. On the picture you can see our cabin from the
inside.

The whole day at Casa Valeria you will see a guy walking around,
cleaning,
sweeping and tidying up the stuff that occurs on the beach. He cannot speak english but he is a very
friendly guy. Check out the
huge crab he has found at the
back of our cabin.

Sadly there is
no included breakfast at Casa Valeria, only
free coffee. But you can get to the supermarket neaby (1-2 minutes), buy your stuff and cook it
in the kitchen at Casa Valeria.
I don't like cooking in the morning, so we went to the "
Sheriff" a soda nearby to get some real costa rica
breakfast Gallo Pinto. On the map of the bottom I tried to mark the sport where sheriff is located.

The last picture is dedicated to these interesting costa rica
showers you will often see around in costa rica. There is normally
no hot water available in costa rica, so people are using this kind of
boiler or flow-type heater shower. It looks a little bit
dangerous with the
wires hanging around, but after three weeks in costa rica and showering unter several of these showers I can say they are safe.

Fresh Coconuts on the beach
If you want to get some
fresh coconut juice, you can buy some fresh harvested coconuts directly at the
beach. Check out this
video of us watching how a guy climbed up the
coconut trees and chopped off some coconuts. If you want to buy an machete, follow my
guide about machetes.
