Questions of the users
About Lodge Las Estrellas De Samara - Ocean View
Is it possible to bring my trained pomeranian with me during my stay, considering that I'm traveling for work and will mostly be out of the lodge?
10 April 2024
Dogs are typically not permitted, but if you're bringing your trained pomeranian, you would be responsible for any damages incurred. Thank you for understanding.
I'm considering renting a small SUV 4x2 for my trip; will this vehicle be sufficient for accessing the lodge?
22 June 2024
Accessing the property is best with a 4x4 or strong SUV due to the rocky path leading to the lodge. A small SUV 4x2 may have some difficulty on the last stretch.
Can you confirm if a 4x4 vehicle is absolutely necessary to reach the lodge?
15 July 2024
Yes, a 4x4 or 4WD is strongly recommended for the last kilometers to ensure a smoother and more comfortable drive.
Is there an available shuttle service to and from the airport?
30 July 2024
Yes, a private shuttle service is available at a cost of $235 from San José Airport to Samara.
How far is the beach from the lodge, and are there any restaurants within walking distance?
5 August 2024
The beach is about 4.2 km away, taking roughly 1 hour to walk, while a car ride will get you there in about 10 minutes. Most restaurants are located in Samara and some offer delivery.
Could you please explain the difference between a free breakfast option and the $25 half-board option?
12 September 2024
There are different pricing options available including breakfast and half-board, which allows for breakfast ($12 per person) and dinner ($18 to $32) to be booked on-site.
Are there refrigerators available in the lodge for guests to store groceries?
20 September 2024
Unfortunately, there are no refrigerators available in the rooms for storing groceries.
Can my Toyota Corolla SUV make it up to the lodge, or do I need a 4x4 vehicle?
11 October 2024
A strong SUV like your Toyota Corolla should be able to make it, though caution is advised as the last 60 meters may require driving in reverse if traction is needed.
What is the cost for a shuttle service from Nosara Airport?
17 October 2024
The shuttle service from Nosara Airport costs $70, accommodating between one to six passengers.
Can you provide details about organizing a seminar at the lodge?
25 November 2024
The lodge offers comfortable accommodations with views of the Pacific Ocean, a studio for organizers, common areas for meetings, a peaceful garden, and delicious cuisine ideal for seminars and group activities.
