Perfectly situated in the center of Samara. The entire town is mere steps away from the Condo. The Condo is maintained with excellence and our contact there (Ridley) was very helpful - he even made reservations, upon our request, at an incredible local restaurant for us! The spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath place was a clean and comfortable respite from the tropical heat, thanks to the ceiling fans and air conditioners in each room. On arrival the bowl of fruit was an extra special surprise. We arrived on New Year's day and the town was still quite festive throughout that first night with a lot of festive traffic - on foot and in vehicles. All the other nights were very quiet even though we were in the middle of this beautiful little beach town. Your stay here can be as laid-back or as eventful as you wish, with zip-lining, kayaking, surfing, etc. available at the various adventure shops in town. We enjoyed dominos by the pool one evening and we rented electric golf carts and made a couple of fun trips to Playa Carrillo and Playa Buenavista one day. There's even a small, resident iguana that watches over his domain and perches on the rooftop. We dubbed him 'Roberto'. He was fun to watch as he bobbed his head trying to attract his lady friends. We also were blessed with some of the resident horses in town one morning as they chose the grasses within the complex for their morning grazing. Local food is excellent and nightlife is available for karaoke or sports bars within a couple blocks' stroll. The beach is perfect for enjoying boogie boarding, surfing, horseback riding, or just relaxing with lots of little restaurants and beach bars available. Condo Ruiz is conveniently located, perfectly appointed and exceptionally comfortable for the perfect Costa Rican vacation!!! We will definitely return.
