Private Transportation Service to Aparthotel el Mirador Playa Samara
Samara, on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, has maintained its original charming village character. The town and its surrounding area offer a large variety of plants and exotic animals.
A three-mile-long beach, with coconut palms and other tropical plants, is sheltered by an offshore coral reef. It is an excellent vacation spot, with horseback riding, surfing, cycling, boat tours, trips to nearby national parks, discos, supermarkets, international-style restaurants and more.
The Aparthotel Mirador de Samara is built high on a hill, about 40 meters above sea level, commanding a panoramic view of the village, beach and Pacific Ocean from every room and terrace.
The beach is just a five-minute walk away. A restaurant serving breakfast and a private bar for guests of the Mirador adjoins the hotel in a tower with a 360-degree panoramic view.
The main building consists of six large apartments, each with a big bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave.

He also does the transfers to and from the hotel and any destination. Any emergency, any time of day we can help. There is also a small clinic in Samara.
Bird Watching
“The bird watching from the surrounding veranda of the Mirador is the best that has been personally experienced by this enthusiast. Each morning in July members of my family would get up and have a quiet cup of coffee, waiting for the first arrivals.
Facing west, the side porch looks off into the side yard of the Mirador where there are a number of trees and bushes with berries on them, and this environment attracts many of the small, berry-loving birds. Another attraction on this side of the hotel is the large variety of trees with canopies.
Facing south from the actual front of the hotel, one can look at the Playa de Samara, and the Pacific Ocean in the distance, and in the immediate foreground are some palm trees and some other large trees with canopies.
In the immediate yard is a series of ficus trees that also attract birds. A hotel is a fine place for relaxing, for enjoying the birding and for living, and the added attraction of the tower, which looks right out over the canopies, is a great bonus.
Members of my family were able to positively identify 45 different species of birds between July 3 and July 26.
