Our time at House of G was really enjoyable. The view is breathtaking. Luis was great and even chopped some coconuts down for us, the coconut water was so refreshing.
It was very hot when we were there and at times we lacked shade to get away from the heat due to the directional layout of the property. The pool has little to no shade throughout the day, but definitely refreshing to get in.
If you want to sleep in, bring eye masks. The curtains are sheer and the sun is up early. Not a bad view to wake up to though, as the master looks to the ocean.
The owner and property manager were flexible in letting us drop off luggage early and also leave them later in the morning to help with transportation issues.
We did not rent a car as we found the cost to be very high. Getting a taxi was easy as I was able to contact them through WhatsApp for pickup and they are located centrally in town. It was only 3,000 colones each way and a short drive.
The snorkel tour to Isla Chora is worth it, we booked with Samara Adventures where Luis also works. We also did the Wingnuts Canopy zipline and rappel which the kids described as epic.
Samara is a great place to visit, enjoy!
