Family hotels and homes in Guanacaste

40 km from Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, Amazilia Guesthouse is a recently renovated property located in Liberia and provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. The property features garden and inner courtyard views, and is 15 km from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium. The bed and breakfast offers an outdoor swimming pool with a pool bar, as well as a public bath and a shared kitchen. Very nice hybrid concept of a hotel with breakfast but you can use the kitchen and facilities during the day. Fantastic spacious rooms with very comfortable beds and exceptionally clean, you could eat from the floor. Warm showers and great location to do sightseeing. This is 100% owned by locals who put their heart and soul into it. Definitely would recommend.

A great place to stay, no expensive and with good amenities. Also close to probably the best beach of Samara literally 5 minutes by walk. Food is also tasty and staff are pretty kind.

This is an amazing property with cute cabins and all the facilities. The pool was nicely kept. The fruit provided from the crop was extra special. All the staff was helpful. Great area but need a vehicle or taxi for access to Sámara. Such a peaceful place to stay. It was nice to hear that this was also funding support for the tree regrowth.

Featuring a garden, barbecue facilities and views of sea, La Caravana is set in Sámara, 200 metres from Carrillo Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The holiday home features family rooms. We loved everything about our stay at La Caravana! The location couldn't be more perfect -- right across from Playa Carrillo -- and Kris and Guillermo are the MOST fabulous hosts. They have created a chic and comfortable oasis in one of the most beautiful parts of Costa Rica. They have thought of every details and go above and beyond to make sure that your stay is wonderful. Think of this as "glamping" with lots of extra bells and whistles and creature comforts. Can't recommend highly enough!
